Pricing questions
What is the difference between Quick Post and Post?
Quick Post is a free short ad that appears in the workers’ feed. Post costs $25, with your first one free, and is a full listing with the rate, schedule and tickets, a push alert to workers with that skill, and an applicant pipeline to compare and hire.
Is there a subscription or contract?
No. Quick Posts are free, your first Post is free, and each Post after that is a one-off $25. You only pay when you publish a Post.
Do you charge a fee when I hire a worker?
No. There is no fee per hire on Quick Post or Post. You agree the hourly rate with the worker and pay them directly.
Are prices in Australian dollars?
Yes. Yakka Labour is built for Australia and all prices are in AUD. The exact amount, including any GST, is shown before you pay.
I hire a lot of workers. Is there a better price?
Yes. Recruiters and enterprise teams get custom pricing based on volume, plus the option of managed hiring where our team finds workers for you. Book a consultation and we will put a quote together.
