Why TQN Personnel
Senior hires are judged on judgement, not just experience, so we spend time with you on what the role must change and who the person needs to work with. We then assess candidates against that picture, speak to senior referees and present only those worth your time. Newcastle's mix of health, construction, education and professional services means leaders often move between sectors, and we search with that in mind. Placements are backed by our 90-day guarantee.

Executive recruitment demand in Newcastle
Newcastle employers recruit senior leaders as the city's economy diversifies. Health and social services organisations need executives to run complex operations, while construction and professional services firms look for directors who can win and deliver work. Education providers and hospitality groups hire general managers and heads of function, and retailers seek commercial leadership. Many of these searches are confidential, particularly where a current leader is transitioning out.
Recruitment licensing & compliance
Permanent placement is exempt from labour hire licensing — we lead with RCSA membership and structured candidate vetting. Temp and contract placements are covered under our interstate labour hire licences, Fair Work and workers compensation.
FAQs
Can you manage a confidential CEO search in Newcastle?
Yes. CEO recruitment in Newcastle often needs discretion, so we keep the brief limited to those who need to know and approach candidates directly. Your current leader, team and market are not alerted until you choose.
How quickly will I see candidates?
You get a vetted shortlist within 7 days of agreeing the brief. Notice periods and interviews then determine the start date, but the shortlist is built to let you start meeting people quickly.
What is included in your executive recruitment process?
We define the role with you, search the market, interview and assess candidates, check senior references and present a curated shortlist. We also support you through offer negotiation until a candidate accepts.
Do you recruit for both private and not-for-profit organisations?
Yes. We work with private companies, community organisations and health and education providers. Each search is shaped around your governance, culture and the outcomes the leader is expected to deliver.
What happens if the executive does not work out?
Our 90-day guarantee covers permanent placements. If the person leaves or underperforms in that time, we find a replacement at no additional fee.
