What You Can Hire

Seven Examples, All Solar-Specific

We recruit for solar businesses and nothing else, so candidates already know what a string inverter is and why an STC deadline matters. Every one is university educated, with strong written and spoken English.

Design Engineer

Full system design, single-line diagrams and engineering packs ready for sign-off.

Solar Designer

Roof layouts, shading studies and proposal-ready renders from nothing but an address.

Admin Assistant

Scheduling, supplier follow-up, the inbox, and the paperwork nobody in the office wants.

Bookkeeper

Invoicing, reconciliation, payroll support and chasing what you're owed.

Rebate & Compliance

STC claims, CEC paperwork and state rebate submissions, tracked through to payment.

Marketing Assistant

Landing pages, email campaigns, review requests and keeping the lead list clean.

Social Media Manager

Content calendar, install photography, posting and answering the comments.

Pricing

One Flat Fee. No Cut Of Their Salary.

You pay their wage, and you pay us $1,200 a month to recruit them, employ them, run the payroll and keep them. That is the entire invoice — no placement fee, no margin on the wage, no lock-in.

Their wage is paid in pesos at roughly 40 to the dollar. That is what makes around $1,200 a month a strong, competitive salary in Manila and a fraction of one here.

Cost Per Seat, Per Month AUD
The same hire in Australia $7,900
Through Solaris Recruit $2,400

Their wage — $1,200 Our fee — $1,200

Back in the business every year, per seat $66,000

Australian figure is a salary of $85,000 plus superannuation, spread monthly. Wages vary by role and experience — we quote the real number before you commit to anything.

Win More Of What You Quote

Quote Today, Not Next Tuesday

Most solar jobs go to whoever gets the proposal in first. A dedicated designer turns an address into a shaded layout and a priced proposal the same day, every day — so your sales team stops queuing behind design and starts closing the leads you already paid for.

The Talent Pool

University Educated, Solar Trained

Candidates arrive with a degree and fluent English, and we train them on solar before they reach you. We advertise, screen and test, then send you three people worth interviewing. You choose; nobody is allocated to you.

How It Works

Four Steps, And Only One Of Them Is Yours

  1. 01

    You Tell Us The Role

    The form at the top, or a ten-minute call. We write the position description with you.

  2. 02

    We Shortlist Three

    We advertise, screen and skills-test. You get three candidates, each with a video intro.

  3. 03

    You Interview And Choose

    You pick. We handle the contract, the equipment and the first fortnight of onboarding.

  4. 04

    They Start, We Employ

    Payroll, HR, IT and cover are ours. You manage the work, not the employment.

The Guarantee

If They're Not Right, We Replace Them

For the first 90 days we recruit again at no cost — no second placement fee and no argument about it. There is no lock-in contract either way, so scaling back up or down is a conversation, not a negotiation.

One flat fee, someone at the desk in two to three weeks, and a replacement if it isn't working.
