With skills shortages continuing to impact industries, recruitment firms need efficient ways to manage contractors while staying compliant with evolving regulations. Accelerate specialises in handling payroll, compliance, and (if required) visa logistics, ensuring agencies can operate with confidence.
”“We don’t recruit, and we don’t compete with agencies. Our role is purely to manage talent from the point it is identified,” says Sally Clifton, Chief Operating Officer at Accelerate.
“We support recruiters by taking on the Employer of Record obligations, allowing them to concentrate on placing skilled talent.”
Recruitment firms often grapple with complex compliance regulations, particularly when hiring contractors. The risks are significant, and regulatory missteps can have serious consequences. Accelerate simplifies this process by:
Expanding access to skilled overseas workers is another area where recruiters can benefit. Many recruiters are not legally permitted to on-hire international talent, but Accelerate holds an On-Hire Labour Agreement with the Department of Home Affairs. This allows organisations to access global talent without the legal complexities.
”“Many recruiters are unaware of how straightforward hiring international candidates can be with the right immigration advice,” says Neil Merola, CEO of Accelerate.
“We remove the perceived complexity so recruiters can fill roles faster and compliantly.”
For small and mid-sized recruitment agencies, scaling up can be slow due to the administrative burden of payroll, insurance, and compliance. Accelerate provides essential support, including:
”“If you’re a growing agency looking to take the next strategic step, we provide the back-end infrastructure that gives you a competitive advantage,” says Merola.
“Put simply, you source the talent – we facilitate the rest.”
Accelerate will host in-person events across Australia with a regional focus on Western Australia, Queensland, and Adelaide, providing recruiters with the insights and tools needed to navigate talent shortages effectively.
”“Each region has its own unique talent landscape, and we are committed to understanding and addressing these differences,” says Clifton.
“Through our events with the RCSA, we aim to create a welcoming and informative environment where agencies can gain valuable insights and practical solutions to support their growth.”
