Why TQN Personnel
Small and mid-sized employers in Pakenham rarely have a dedicated HR team, so a bad hire hurts. We take on the screening work: structured interviews, referee calls with recent supervisors and checks of the tickets and registrations each role needs. You only meet candidates who match the brief. We can start with a temp or contract placement and move to permanent when you are ready, and every permanent hire is covered by our 90-day guarantee.

FAQs
What can a recruitment agency in Pakenham do for a small business?
We handle the time-consuming parts of hiring: writing the brief, sourcing candidates, interviewing, checking references and right to work, and presenting a shortlist. That leaves you to meet only the people who fit and make the final decision.
How quickly will I see candidates?
A vetted shortlist arrives within 7 days of agreeing the brief. If a role is highly specialised or a candidate needs to work out notice, we let you know early so you can plan around the start date.
Do you recruit for both permanent and temporary roles?
Yes. We place permanent, contract and temp staff. Permanent hires carry a 90-day guarantee, and we can help you move a successful temp across to a permanent contract when you are ready.
Can you find tradespeople and labourers as well as office staff?
Yes. We recruit site-based and trade roles as well as administration, accounts and management positions. We check tickets such as White Cards and licences so the people you meet are ready for site.
How do I brief you on a role?
Send us the duties, must-have tickets or registrations, preferred start date and the type of person who succeeds in your team. A recruiter will call to confirm details and begin the search.
