Why TQN Personnel
A poor legal hire costs more than the recruitment fee, because it affects clients, files and the people around them. We take time to understand your practice areas, your supervision style and how your firm works day to day. Candidates are interviewed for fit as well as technical depth, and we speak with referees who have supervised their work. Confidentiality is standard, especially when a solicitor is considering a move. Permanent placements carry our 90-day guarantee.

FAQs
What does a legal recruitment agency on the Gold Coast do?
We find, assess and present legal candidates for your open roles, including people who are not actively looking. We verify admission and references, manage interviews and offers, and give you a short list of solicitors or support staff who suit your practice.
Do you place paralegals and legal secretaries as well as solicitors?
Yes. We recruit across the whole firm, from solicitors and senior associates to paralegals, law clerks, legal secretaries and practice managers. Tell us the practice area and the systems you use, and we will match people with relevant experience.
Can you supply temporary legal staff on the Gold Coast?
We can. For leave cover, a busy period or a project, we supply temporary and contract legal staff. We handle pay, super and workers compensation, so the arrangement is simple and fully compliant for your firm.
Is a legal recruitment search confidential?
Yes. We keep your brief private and only share the details with candidates who are suitable and interested. Candidates' identities are protected in the same way until they agree to be put forward, which matters for solicitors weighing a move.
How quickly will I receive a shortlist?
A vetted shortlist arrives within 7 days of confirming the brief. If you need urgent cover, say so at the start and we will prioritise candidates who are available now and already admitted or experienced in your area.
