Why TQN Personnel
Hiring on the Coast often means competing with a Sydney salary, so we help you sell what a local role offers: shorter travel, family-friendly hours and a career without the daily M1 run. Then we do the checks properly: interviews, referees by phone, right to work through VEVO, and registrations or tickets where they are needed. Shortlists are small, and a permanent hire who leaves inside 90 days is replaced at no cost.

Recruitment hiring demand across the Central Coast
Health care, construction and retail employ the most people on the Central Coast, and the state's road program through Wyong and Wamberal is adding civil work on top of steady demand in care, logistics and hospitality.

source ↗Recruitment licensing & compliance
Unlike Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and the ACT, NSW does not license labour hire providers, and the NSW Government says it is still considering its approach. Permanent recruitment is outside any such scheme. For temps and contractors we place on the Coast, TQN Personnel is the employer, so wages, super, NSW workers insurance and Fair Work obligations sit with us, while we work with you on site safety under NSW WHS law.
FAQs
What do job agencies on the Central Coast do differently from job boards?
A job board gives you applicants. We give you a few screened people who have been interviewed against your brief, had references checked and had work rights confirmed, so you only spend time on candidates who fit.
Do you recruit for businesses in Somersby and Tuggerah?
Yes. We recruit for manufacturers and distribution centres in Somersby, Tuggerah, Berkeley Vale and around Warnervale, and sight SafeWork NSW forklift and other high risk work licences.
Can jobseekers find part-time work through you on the Coast?
Yes. Tell us the hours you can work when you register. Part-time roles are common in health, retail and administration, and we match on availability as well as skills.
Is there a fee for Central Coast employers?
Only when we place someone. A permanent hire attracts a fee worked out as a percentage of salary, payable once they start; temps and contractors are charged at an hourly rate we agree with you first.
How do Working with Children Checks work for Central Coast roles?
Paid workers in child-related roles need a NSW Working with Children Check through Service NSW. A cleared check lasts 5 years, and we verify it online before shortlisting.
