A recruitment agency alternative that publishes its fee.
If you're weighing up a recruitment agency alternative, here's how MyGig works: post a shift in 60 seconds and vetted casual workers apply, every applicant pre-checked on 30+ data points covering ID, work history, references, tickets, and skills quizzes. No job ads, no consultant phone tag, no waiting on a shortlist - across the network, more than 90% of shifts fill and the no-show rate sits around 2%.

Good questions, straight answers.
Is MyGig a recruitment agency?
No - MyGig is a Workforce-as-a-Service platform and the authorised Employer of Record, not a recruitment agency. You book shifts through the platform and MyGig employs the workers, carrying payroll, PAYG, 12% superannuation, workers comp, and Modern Award compliance. There are no placements, so there are no placement fees.
How does MyGig's pricing compare with a recruitment agency's?
MyGig charges one flat, published 15% service fee on wages and on-costs (super, workers comp, payroll tax), while traditional agencies typically charge 20% or more with the margin buried in the hourly rate.

Where does MyGig operate?
MyGig is the authorised Employer of Record in NSW, WA, TAS and NT, run from its Sydney (Haymarket) HQ. Victoria and Queensland launches are planned for 2027. Wherever you post, the full cost estimate and real applicant availability are shown before anything is confirmed.
Can I try MyGig without signing a contract?
Yes - MyGig has no lock-in contracts, no monthly minimums, and no fee for shifts that don't happen. Post one shift, see the full cost estimate before you book, and get one invoice per day of shifts. The shift cost calculator (/shift-calculator) will price a specific shift before you commit to anything.
