Why TQN Personnel
Perth hiring moves with the resources cycle. When a mine, processing plant or gas project ramps up, the same electricians, engineers, payroll officers and safety advisers start getting FIFO offers, and city employers feel the pull quickly. We recruit with that in mind: we ask candidates about rosters, travel and the next move they are weighing up, so the person you hire is still with you after the first swing change. You deal with one consultant across permanent, contract and temp roles, and if you need people on the ground while we search, our Perth labour hire team can cover the gap. We are RCSA members, fully insured, and every permanent placement carries our 90-day guarantee.

Hiring demand across Perth
Perth employers are competing for staff across mining head offices, health and construction at the same time, and Jobs and Skills Australia notes that most Mining industry jobs are in Western Australia and Queensland, largely in regional sites like the Pilbara that are staffed from Perth. Local builds such as these add civil, production and project roles on top of that steady resources demand.

Permanent recruitment is simple: we find the candidate and you employ them, so no labour hire licence is involved. Temp and contract staff are different, because TQN Personnel employs and pays them while they work at your site. 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). We hold labour hire licences in all four of those jurisdictions for interstate work, and in WA we supply temps under the Fair Work Act, the WA Work Health and Safety Act 2020 and our own workers compensation cover, which WorkCover WA regulates.
FAQs
How much do recruitment agencies in Perth charge?
Permanent roles attract a single success fee, worked out on the first year's base salary and invoiced once your new starter begins. For temps and contractors you pay one hourly charge that covers their wages, super, workers compensation and our service, confirmed in writing before the first shift.
I am after agency work in Perth. How do I register?
Send your CV through our contact page and tell us the kind of role, suburb and roster you want. We interview people before putting them forward, and we will call you before your details go to any employer.
Do Perth recruitment agencies fill FIFO and DIDO roles?
We do, for mining, construction and maintenance employers. WorkSafe WA's FIFO code of practice names remote work, lengthy travel and lack of control over accommodation as FIFO-specific psychosocial hazards and warns that more compressed rosters can cause fatigue, so we brief candidates on swing, camp and travel before they interview.
How quickly can a recruitment company in Perth fill a role?
Expect interviewed, referenced candidates inside 7 days once we have agreed the brief. When the work cannot wait, our Perth labour hire crews can be on site within 24 hours while the permanent search runs alongside.
Do I need a licensed recruitment agency in Perth?
WA law does not require one. Unlike Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and the ACT, Western Australia has never introduced labour hire licensing. If you also hire for projects in those places, it helps that we are licensed in each of them.
