Why TQN Personnel
Legal hiring is about judgement as much as qualifications. We speak with candidates about the work they have actually run, the clients and matters they handle, and how they manage deadlines and confidentiality. Referees from supervising partners and senior colleagues tell us what a CV cannot. Across New South Wales we cover metropolitan and regional practices alike, and permanent hires carry our 90-day guarantee.

Legal recruitment demand in NSW
Legal talent is needed well beyond law firms. Property, construction, health care and education employers hire in-house counsel and contract specialists, while professional services businesses need compliance and commercial lawyers. Regional practices compete with Sydney firms for solicitors and conveyancers. We recruit for all of these, whether the need is a permanent hire, a locum solicitor or a temporary legal secretary.
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
What does a legal recruitment agency in NSW do?
We find, screen and present legal candidates for your vacancies. That covers interviews, qualification and practising certificate checks, references and a shortlist in 7 days, so you spend time meeting suitable people rather than sorting through applications.
Do you recruit paralegals and legal secretaries?
Yes. We place paralegals, law clerks, legal secretaries, conveyancers and legal executives alongside solicitors and in-house counsel. Support roles are matched on software skills and matter experience as well as availability.
Can you find locum or temporary lawyers?
We can. Temp and contract legal cover suits leave, a surge in matters or a project. We look for people who can start quickly, run files independently and fit into your existing team.
Do you recruit for regional NSW law firms?
We do. Regional practices often find it harder to attract solicitors and conveyancers, so we search widely and talk honestly with candidates about lifestyle, workload and the type of matters on offer.
What guarantee applies to permanent legal hires?
Permanent placements are covered by our 90-day guarantee. If the person leaves or underperforms within that period, we search again and replace them without charging a further fee.
