What sets us apart?

Your role is in experienced hands from start to finish. We are the people you brief, we know the role and your story, so we are best placed to represent your brand.

Networks and Brand

The candidate market has grown tired of random approaches on Linked in from internal or external recruiters they don’t know. Recruitment is a mix of art and science-You can use science to identify and source candidates, but the art is in how you approach the overall candidate experience.  Our brand is well known and strong.  Because of this, candidates are more likely to engage with us on a career conversation.

Less roles and more intensive search

We are outside the traditional recruitment model. Without revenue targets and large business overheads, we get to work on fewer roles, and you get a more cost-effective solution. You’ll get a more comprehensive search approach without negatively impacting the time to hire and at a competitive price.

Research resource on an as required basis

Through years of experience, we have strong recruitment networks and access to research resources as it is required in NZ and offshore.  We choose to contract in this support on an as needed basis utilising trusted colleagues and contacts from the industry when required.
