Why TQN Personnel
The Hunter Valley is a regional market where the same few employers compete for skilled people, and a poor hire is expensive to unwind. We keep our process simple and thorough: a proper briefing, structured screening, references taken from recent supervisors and a shortlist that explains why each person fits. We understand that mine sites, hospitals and care providers each need different credentials, and we check those before shortlisting. Permanent hires carry our 90-day guarantee, and our temp and contract placements are fully compliant with Fair Work and workers compensation requirements.

FAQs
What does a recruitment agency in the Hunter Valley do?
We source, screen and present candidates for your open roles so you only meet people who suit the job. That covers permanent, contract and temp placements, including interviews, reference checks and right to work verification before a shortlist reaches you.
How quickly can you provide a shortlist for a Hunter Valley role?
You can expect a vetted shortlist within 7 days of briefing us. Specialist roles with specific tickets or registrations can take a little longer if candidates need to confirm their documents, and we flag that early.
Do you offer a guarantee on permanent placements?
Yes. Permanent hires are covered by a 90-day guarantee. If the person leaves or does not perform in that period, we find a replacement at no extra fee, which keeps the risk of a bad hire low.
Can you be our recruitment partner for ongoing hiring in the region?
Yes. Many Hunter Valley employers use us as a recruitment partner for regular hiring. We learn your culture, standards and typical roles, so each new brief starts faster and shortlists are more closely matched.
Do you recruit for both mining and non-mining roles?
We do. Alongside resources roles we place health, aged care, retail, hospitality and administration staff. Each role is screened against its own credentials, whether that is a site ticket, a worker screening clearance or a professional registration.
