Why TQN Personnel
Bunbury is big enough to have a real industrial workforce and small enough that most good tradespeople, supervisors and nurses are already employed and known locally. Many will not commute to Perth or relocate, so a recruiter has to find them where they are and make a case for the move. We do that with direct, discreet approaches and an honest picture of the role. We also look closely at travel: a candidate in Australind or Eaton may suit Kemerton better than one in the city. And because we can supply temps through our Bunbury labour hire team, you are not left short while the permanent search runs.

Hiring demand across Bunbury
Bunbury's hiring is anchored by processing, manufacturing and port-side industry, with health, education and retail employing much of the city. Major civil works around the city and along the coast add project roles for engineers, supervisors and crews.

Permanent recruitment involves no labour hire licence, because the person you hire becomes your employee. Temp and contract workers remain employed by TQN Personnel, which pays them, covers super and holds workers compensation insurance. Western Australia has no labour hire licensing scheme; state licensing applies only in Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and the ACT (NSW Government update on labour hire regulation). TQN Personnel holds labour hire licences in all four of those jurisdictions, and our WA placements follow the Fair Work Act and the WA Work Health and Safety Act 2020.
FAQs
Do recruitment agencies in Bunbury recruit for the industrial areas?
We do. We recruit operators, maintenance trades, supervisors and support staff for businesses in Kemerton, Shotts, Preston, Halifax and Waterloo, and we screen for shift work and the travel each site involves.
How do Bunbury job seekers register with you?
If your skills match the roles we recruit, it is simple. Use the contact page to send your CV, with the work you want and the part of the South West you live in. A consultant will call you before you are put forward to any employer.
How do you find candidates in a smaller market like Bunbury?
Mostly by approaching people who are already working rather than waiting for applicants. We combine local networks, referrals and targeted advertising, and we keep conversations confidential because in a regional city everyone knows everyone.
What does recruitment cost in Bunbury?
There are no upfront fees. A permanent placement is charged as a percentage of the first-year salary once your new hire starts, and temp staff are billed hourly at a rate quoted before the booking begins.
Can you supply temporary workers in Bunbury?
Yes. Our Bunbury labour hire service places vetted, ticketed workers on site within 24 hours for short-term or project work, and can cover a vacancy while we recruit permanently.
