Why TQN Personnel
Brisbane has no shortage of recruiters, and plenty of them forward CVs nobody has read properly. We brief ourselves before we search, so a supply chain role is screened for warehouse systems, licences and shift patterns, and a finance role is tested for the skills it actually needs. Every shortlist arrives with notes on why each person fits, their salary expectations and when they can start. Permanent hires carry our 90-day guarantee, and when you need temps or contractors instead, we supply them as a licensed Queensland labour hire provider.

Hiring demand across Brisbane
Brisbane's labour force is near 1,316,907 people, and health care and professional, scientific and technical services lead its employing sectors. Major transport work keeps engineers, project managers and systems specialists in demand, and private employers end up recruiting from the same pool of people.
Cross River Rail
Rail project with twin tunnels under the Brisbane River and CBD, keeping demand high for construction, engineering and systems integration staff.
source ↗Bruce Highway Targeted Safety Program
Long-running safety and capacity program on the Bruce Highway, the main road corridor north from Brisbane, needing civil engineers and project staff.
source ↗Recruitment licensing & compliance
A common question is whether you need a licensed agency. For permanent recruitment, no: Queensland does not class recruitment or permanent placement as labour hire, so no licence is required. For temps and contractors, yes. Anyone supplying workers in Queensland has needed a licence since the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2017 took effect on 16 April 2018, and Brisbane businesses may only use licensed providers. We hold that licence and give you the number on engagement, and the Queensland labour hire licensing site lets you check any provider.
FAQs
How do I choose recruiters in Brisbane?
Ask how a recruiter screens: who conducts the interview, which references are checked and how quickly you will see a shortlist. A good agency will also tell you when your salary or brief is out of step with the market. We do all of that, and our permanent placements carry a 90-day guarantee.
Do you handle supply chain recruitment in Brisbane?
Yes. We recruit supply chain coordinators, inventory controllers, warehouse supervisors and forklift operators for distribution centres around Australia TradeCoast, the Logan Motorway corridor and Yatala.
Are you one of the employment agencies covering Brisbane south?
We are. We recruit for employers in Acacia Ridge, Rocklea, the Logan Motorway corridor and through to Yatala and Stapylton, as well as the CBD and northside.
How do I find agency jobs in Brisbane through TQN?
Register your CV and tell us what you are after, whether permanent, contract or temp. When a suitable Brisbane role comes up, a recruiter will call you to talk it through before anything is sent to an employer.
What does Brisbane recruitment cost with TQN?
Permanent recruitment is priced as a percentage of the role's first-year salary, and we invoice when your new starter begins. Temp and contract workers are billed at a single agreed hourly rate that covers their wages and on-costs. The full quote comes before any search starts.
