People4U

People4U is an Australian recruitment business that places technology professionals with small and medium-sized businesses. It charges a fixed fee for each hire rather than a percentage of the candidate's salary, and says the fee covers the whole process from sourcing and vetting to placement and support.

The roles it recruits include software developers, DevOps engineers, cloud engineers, data professionals, cyber security specialists, IT support and infrastructure staff, project managers and scrum masters. Its process starts with a consultation on the role, culture and tech stack, followed by candidate sourcing and screening, interview scheduling and feedback management, offer management and post-placement support. Each client has a dedicated account manager.

The fee is paid in three stages: at the start of the search, on delivery of a candidate shortlist, and when the new hire starts. The company also offers a three-month replacement guarantee. It operates as People4U PTY Limited.
