Talent pools drive retention
Drive retention and continuity of your favourite workers – customers have increased retention by as much as 70%.
Quick and simple to use

Set the rates you want to pay
Our pricing engine allows you to control what workers are paid above the modern awards.
Improved compliance
Digital compliance systems give you security that everyone who works for you is qualified, safe to work and being paid correctly.
Selecting the right staff is so easy, thanks to the transparent reliability and rating system of Sidekicks
No more calling and emailing to fill shifts and waiting on replies. All your agency shifts in one place. Check out Sidekicker's Multi Agency Platform.
Why you can trust Sidekicker
In 2012, Tom Amos left Deloitte with the simple idea of creating a tech solution that could connect someone looking for work with someone looking to hire.
Together with co-founder, Jacqui Bull, they created Sidekicker; a two-sided marketplace in Australia and New Zealand. A platform where businesses can access productive, reliable and qualified workers for temporary needs; and where workers have the option to control when, how and for whom they work.
Since then Sidekicker has expanded the locations and industries it operates in. Today Sidekicker employs over 20,000 Sidekicks and supports thousands of businesses every year.
It is an obsession with a better way which fuels Sidekicker's growth. A better way for businesses to hire, a better way for Sidekicks to get work and a better way for our platform to match businesses and workers together.
Sidekicker helps companies deal with the ever changing demands for staff by combining a high quality workforce, with powerful tooling, real time data and insights.
Not only has Sidekicker been able to meet all of our requirements for peak periods, but they’ve made it all a breeze

Can you work with large complex workforces?
Yes! Sidekicker works with some of the largest businesses in the industry. We can customise our delivery and platform to suit your needs whether it be for 20 Sidekicks or 200.
How do you pre-screen staff?
All temporary staff are screened by our specialist onboarding team and must create a detailed profile listing their experience and any certifications. Unlike a traditional temporary staffing agency you are able to see all of this information before accepting them onto your premise.
How does pricing work?
Sidekicker charges a service fee on top of the hourly rate to the worker, superannuation and other statutory charges. Pricing is clearly stated before you submit your booking request.If you have large or recurring needs we can offer custom pricing. We often find we can save our customers up to 30% compared to traditional temporary staffing agencies.
