Could labour hire licensing be coming to NSW?

A NSW parliamentary inquiry into modern slavery risks faced by temporary migrant workers has recommended introducing a state labour hire licensing scheme.

The NSW Government has said its preference remains a nationally harmonised model. However, it is also examining the possibility of introducing a NSW scheme and reviewing models already operating in other states.

No decision has yet been made. However, financial services organisations using labour hire providers or contingent workers should watch the development closely.

A new model could affect provider selection, due diligence, contractual requirements, record keeping and ongoing compliance.

For employers, the practical question may not simply be whether a provider is licensed. It may also be what additional responsibility sits with the organisation engaging that provider.

AI can help recruitment teams process information, identify patterns and reduce administration.

But efficiency is not the same as judgement.

The ATO reportedly scrapped an entire recruitment round for audit and compliance officers after discovering that AI had been used to screen candidates contrary to its recruitment guidelines.

The issue isn’t that technology was being used. It’s that it shouldn’t become an invisible decision-maker when someone’s career is at stake.

Any organisation using AI in recruitment should be able to answer three questions:

➤ Where is it being used?
➤ Who reviews its output?
➤ Can the resulting decision be explained?

For financial services employers and recruitment teams, where governance, explainability and accountability are already central expectations, the lesson is particularly relevant.

AI can support judgement, but recruitment decisions still require transparency, oversight and clear human ownership.

Where should employers draw the line between automation and human judgement in recruitment?

A great recruiter does more than connect employers with candidates.

They take the time to understand your business, your team, your culture and your long-term goals.

The strongest recruitment partnerships are built on trust, market knowledge and honest conversations—not transactions.

Behind every successful placement is a team committed to helping people and businesses succeed.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗬𝗼𝘂, 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲!

There's nothing more rewarding than knowing we've helped someone take the next step in their career. 🤝

We're incredibly grateful to Steve for sharing his experience with Olivia and Joe.

"Olivia is a true professional and a delightful person to deal with. She understands the job market and really took the time to understand where I was at in my career, presenting me with an exciting role that aligned to my skills and experience. Great communication, supportive and extremely helpful."

At Godfrey Group, we believe recruitment is about more than matching a résumé to a job description. It's about listening, understanding each person's goals and creating opportunities that genuinely fit.

Thank you again, Steve, for your kind words and recommendation. We wish you every success in your new role.

If you are only searching for candidates who are actively applying for roles, you could be overlooking a large part of the talent market.

Many experienced wealth management professionals are focused on supporting clients, delivering results and building long-term relationships in their current roles—not updating their LinkedIn profiles.

That does not mean they are unavailable.

It means the right opportunity needs to find them.

Building relationships with passive candidates is one of the reasons specialist recruitment continues to deliver value in a competitive wealth management market.

A résumé tells you where someone has worked.

A conversation tells you how they think.

We've seen candidates with average-looking CVs become outstanding leaders because of their commercial thinking, communication skills and ability to build trust.

We've also seen impressive résumés that didn't translate into the right long-term fit.

The best hiring decisions happen when businesses look beyond experience and take the time to understand the person behind the profile.

Replacing the wrong hire is expensive.

But salary, recruitment fees and onboarding costs are only part of the story.

A poor hiring decision can affect team morale, productivity, client relationships and leadership confidence—long after the role has been filled.

Taking the time to recruit the right person from the beginning is often one of the most valuable investments a business can make.

Our latest blog explores the true cost of hiring the wrong candidate—and how to reduce the risk.

"The best candidates are actively looking for work."

Not necessarily.

Many high-performing professionals are already employed, performing well and focused on delivering results.

They're unlikely to apply for a role they've never seen—or one that doesn't clearly offer the right opportunity.

That's why successful executive recruitment often begins with conversations, not applications.

Building relationships with talented professionals before they're actively job hunting can make all the difference.
