The Recruitment Company (TRC) is a specialist IT recruitment company in Australia, and IT is the only thing we do. Over 25+ years in the industry, we've learned one thing above all else: recruitment isn't one size fits all. That's exactly why TRC Partner Stack exists.
We said it in our last post: a business-critical hire and a quick, contained one don't need the same thing from us. Here's what that actually looks like, tier by tier, not just a glance.
Tier 1: Recruitment Partner, 18%
This is where most people start with us, and there's nothing "starter" about it. One role, dedicated recruiter time, our full Community Based Recruitment Methodology™ from day one. You pay nothing until we deliver, and if the placement doesn't work out, you get a free replacement within three months. No commitment, no catch, just specialist recruitment done properly.
Tier 2: Exclusive Partner, 17%
Go exclusive with us, and the whole equation changes. Your role gets our full focus, not a slice of it. You also unlock the two things we're proudest of: our Video Toolkit, so you can review shortlisted candidates on your own time instead of scrambling for interview slots, and our industry-first Lifetime Guarantee. Add testing before you ever see a candidate, and a Market Intelligence Report that gives you a live read on your workforce and the wider talent market. This is the tier for roles that really matter.
Tier 3: Strategic Partner, 16%
Everything in Exclusive Partner, then we go further. A commitment fee upfront means we can prioritise this role completely: deep market mapping, weekly reporting, and first look at candidates on the next three roles that follow. You also get our AI EVP Report (how AI itself sees you as an employer, at a time when close to 85% of candidates meet you there before they meet you anywhere else), a Job Status Report so you always know exactly where your search stands, and a Community Positioning Report built from real market data. This is executive search quality, at contingent cost.
Tier 4: Growth Partner, tailored to you
No fixed inclusions here, on purpose. If you're hiring continuously, building a whole new team, or want us embedded inside your business as you scale, tell us what's in front of you and we'll design the solution around it. Priced once we actually understand what's involved, not before.
Four tiers, one methodology underneath all of them. Pick the one that matches what's actually in front of you, not the other way around.
This Is for You
TRC Partner Stack isn't a rebrand. It's us finally building the thing we’ve always stood for: a real partnership, shaped around what your team actually needs, with nothing hidden along the way.
