Why TQN Personnel
Legal hiring turns on judgement, client manner and fit with the way your practice runs, not just the CV. Our recruiters interview for those qualities and ask referees direct questions about reliability, confidentiality and quality of work. Queensland practices are spread across a very large state, so we search beyond the south-east corner when a regional role needs filling, and we talk through relocation openly with candidates. Permanent hires carry our 90-day guarantee, and temp or contract cover is available when a matter peaks or a lawyer is on leave.

Legal recruitment demand across Queensland
Demand for legal staff in Queensland comes from several directions. Private practices hire for property, litigation, family and commercial work, while government bodies, insurers, developers and large employers in health, education and construction build in-house teams. Regional firms often struggle to attract experienced lawyers and support staff, and growing businesses need paralegals and legal administrators to keep matters moving between partner reviews.
Recruitment licensing & compliance
Permanent placement is exempt from labour hire licensing — we lead with RCSA membership and structured candidate vetting. Temp and contract placements in QLD are supplied under our QLD labour hire licence.
FAQs
How does a legal recruitment agency in Queensland screen candidates?
We confirm admission and practising certificate status for lawyers, interview for judgement and client manner, take references from recent supervisors and check right to work. Anything that needs explaining, such as a gap in employment, is raised with you before interview.
Can you place paralegals and legal support staff as well as solicitors?
Yes. We recruit paralegals, conveyancers, legal secretaries, law clerks and practice managers as well as solicitors and in-house counsel. Support roles are often the quickest way to relieve a stretched fee earner, so tell us where the pressure is.
Do you recruit for regional Queensland law firms?
We do. Regional roles take a wider search and a frank conversation about lifestyle and relocation, so we start with candidates who already have a reason to move. We cover the whole state, not only Brisbane and the south-east.
How quickly will I see legal candidates?
Expect a vetted shortlist within 7 days of a clear brief. If a candidate needs to confirm their practising certificate or give notice, we tell you up front so you can plan around the start date.
Is there a guarantee on permanent legal hires?
Permanent placements carry our 90-day guarantee. If the person leaves or does not meet the standard you briefed us on within that period, we find a replacement at no extra fee.
