90-day guarantee
Permanent hires are covered for 90 days. If one leaves or underperforms, we find a replacement at no extra fee.
Why TQN Personnel
New communities in the Caloundra South corridor mean new schools, shops, clinics and building sites, and many employers are hiring for roles they have never filled before. We help shape the brief first: realistic pay, hours that will attract local candidates, and the tickets or registrations that matter. Then we screen properly, so you interview fewer people and make an offer sooner. Every candidate is interviewed and referenced, and any permanent hire who leaves or underperforms in the first 90 days is replaced free.

Hiring demand across the Sunshine Coast
Construction is one of the Sunshine Coast's largest employing sectors, and road projects at Caloundra and Mountain Creek will keep civil crews, engineers and traffic staff busy as they move from tender and early works into main construction. Health care, retail and hospitality hiring continues alongside that work.

source ↗Recruitment licensing & compliance
On the Sunshine Coast, as across Queensland, finding you a permanent employee is a recruitment service and does not require a labour hire licence. If we supply temp or contract staff, they are labour hire workers. The state's licensing scheme, which began on 16 April 2018 under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2017, says the provider must be licensed and the business using the workers must only deal with licensed providers. TQN Personnel is licensed in Queensland and provides the licence number when we engage. Check any provider on the Queensland labour hire licensing site before you sign.
FAQs
How is TQN different from other recruitment agencies on the Sunshine Coast?
We send fewer, better candidates. Everyone on your shortlist has been interviewed, referenced and checked for work rights, and you get notes on why they fit. Permanent placements carry a 90-day guarantee.
Can a job agency on the Sunshine Coast help me find local work?
Yes. Register with us and tell us where you want to work, from the hinterland to the coast. We match you to roles within a commute you are happy with and talk to you before sharing your details.
Do you recruit across Noosa, Caloundra and the hinterland?
We do. We recruit for employers across the Sunshine Coast, including Noosa, Maroochydore, Kawana and Caloundra, and hinterland towns such as Nambour and Beerwah.
Can a Sunshine Coast recruitment agency staff a new business?
Yes. For a new clinic, shop or venue we can recruit a team in stages, starting with managers so they can help choose the rest. Tell us the opening date and we will plan the search backwards from it.
What does an employment agency on the Sunshine Coast cost?
Permanent roles are charged as a percentage of first-year salary once the person starts work. Temp staff are billed by the hour. We confirm the fee in writing before any work begins.
