Why TQN Personnel
Canberra is a small, connected job market, and a poor hire is noticed quickly. We focus on retention: why a candidate wants to move, whether they fit the team and whether they can hold a clearance or meet the screening your role needs. Many Canberra candidates are weighing public and private offers, so we help you present the role honestly and competitively. Every permanent placement carries our 90-day guarantee, giving you cover if the match does not work.

FAQs
How does permanent recruitment in Canberra work with TQN Personnel?
You send us a brief covering the role, must-haves and start date. We source and screen candidates, reference-check them and deliver a shortlist within 7 days. You interview and make the offer.
Can you find permanent staff who already hold security clearances?
We can ask candidates about clearances they currently hold and flag them on your shortlist. Clearance sponsorship is a matter for your organisation, but we will tell you who is already cleared.
Do you recruit for both public and private employers in Canberra?
Yes. We place permanent staff with private firms, community organisations, health providers and contractors working alongside government, and we tailor the screening to the environment.
What if my permanent hire leaves soon after starting?
Our 90-day guarantee covers permanent placements. If the person leaves or underperforms in that window, we find a replacement at no extra fee.
Is there an agency fee for a Canberra permanent placement?
Fees are agreed with you in writing before the search begins, so you know the cost upfront. Send us your brief and we will confirm the terms for the role.
