Why TQN Personnel
A Queensland recruitment agency has to understand regional realities: candidates weighing a move north, roles tied to mine rosters, and seasonal swings in tourism and agriculture. We plan for them. Candidates are interviewed, reference checked and confirmed through VEVO before you see them, and anyone considering relocation is asked about timing, housing and family before we put them forward for a regional role. Temp and contract workers come through our licensed Queensland labour hire service, and permanent hires are covered by our 90-day guarantee.

Hiring demand across Queensland
Transport infrastructure is a steady source of demand: rail in the south-east and highway works up the coast need engineers, project managers and civil crews, and the businesses supplying those projects hire as well. In the regions, mining adds to the pressure. According to Jobs and Skills Australia, Queensland and Western Australia hold most of the country's mining jobs, and they are largely based outside the capital cities.

Recruitment licensing & compliance
In Queensland the line between recruitment and labour hire matters. Recruitment and permanent placement services are not labour hire and do not need a labour hire licence. A labour hire provider is one that supplies workers to another business and is responsible for paying them, and since 16 April 2018 the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2017 has required every such provider to hold a licence. The business using the workers is bound too: it may only deal with licensed providers. Our current Queensland labour hire licence appears on the public register, which you can search through the Queensland labour hire licensing site.
FAQs
Which recruitment agencies in Queensland cover regional cities?
TQN Personnel recruits across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, and in Townsville, Cairns, Mackay, Gladstone, Bundaberg, Hervey Bay and Rockhampton. One brief can cover roles in several of these locations.
Does a Queensland recruitment agency need a labour hire licence?
Only if it supplies workers. Permanent placement is not labour hire in Queensland. Any agency supplying temp or contract workers it pays must be licensed, and you must only use licensed providers.
Can you recruit interstate candidates for Queensland roles?
Yes. We consider candidates from other states when the local market is thin, and we test their relocation plans before shortlisting. Any relocation package is agreed between you and the candidate.
How long does regional recruitment in Queensland take?
Our standard is a vetted shortlist within 7 days. For regional roles that need relocation or specialist tickets, we give you a realistic timeline at the briefing.
