Permanent hiring demand in Sydney
Professional, scientific and technical services, health care, construction, finance and insurance, retail and hospitality are among Sydney's largest employing sectors. Consultancies, hospitals and clinics, builders, banks and insurers, retailers and venues all fill permanent roles through the year. Growth in the western parts of the city has also lifted demand for operations, logistics and site-based leaders, while the CBD continues to compete for finance and corporate talent.
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 permanent recruitment agency in Sydney do?
We source, screen and present candidates for ongoing roles in your business. That includes writing up the brief, searching our network and the market, interviewing, reference checking and delivering a vetted shortlist in 7 days so you can focus on interviews.
How is permanent recruitment different from labour hire?
With permanent recruitment, the person you choose becomes your employee. With labour hire, we employ the worker and supply them to your site. We handle both, and we will tell you honestly which suits your Sydney role.
What happens if my permanent hire does not work out?
Our 90-day guarantee covers permanent hires. If the person leaves or underperforms in that window, we run the search again and place a replacement at no extra fee.
Can you recruit for roles across different parts of Sydney?
Yes. We recruit for employers in the CBD, the north, the south and the west. We ask about commute and hybrid arrangements early, because location is often the deciding factor for Sydney candidates.
How do I start a permanent search with TQN Personnel?
Send us a short brief covering the role, must-have skills, the team and your timeline. A recruiter will call to confirm the details, and your shortlist follows within 7 days.
