A brief, a question, or a confidential career conversation. You'll usually hear back within one business day, and sending a brief doesn't commit you to anything.

Quick answers

Common questions.

Most questions are answered on our Help & answers page.

What is your fee for a permanent placement?

Our standard model is retained search at 22% of the candidate's first-year base salary, invoiced in thirds. Contingent search is available on request at 25%, invoiced in full on the start date.

Allowances and employer superannuation are excluded, GST is added to every fee, and there is a $12,000 minimum fee per placement.

Do candidates pay anything?

What happens if a new hire leaves early?

There is no replacement guarantee. Instead, if a permanent hire's employment ends within 12 weeks of their start date, we refund part of the total fee paid: 75% for days 1–28, 50% for days 29–56, 25% for days 57–84. After day 84, no rebate applies.

Does Stormcrest sponsor security clearances?

No. Clearances are sponsor-led. You can't apply for one yourself, and recruiters can't sponsor one. The employer sponsors it, and must be an Australian Government agency or a Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) member at the right level, for a genuine role that needs it. Stormcrest does not sponsor clearances and is not a DISP member.
