How we can help you hire

Permanent Placement

Finding the right long-term hire is one of the most important decisions you'll make. We understand your business and your culture — then find the person who fits. Not just on paper.

Temp & Contract

Need someone at short notice? Or cover for a busy period? We have a network of job-ready candidates available fast, across a wide range of roles and industries.

Temporary Administrative Staffing

Reliable, experienced office and admin staff when you need them. Maternity cover, project surges, or unexpected gaps — we'll have someone in place quickly.

Pre-Employment Profiling

Reduce the risk of a bad hire. Our profiling tools show how a candidate works, what they value, and how they'll fit your team — before you commit.

Pre-Employement Screening

We handle everything from drug and alcohol testing to New Zealand Ministry of Justice background checks, helping you make confident, informed decisions.

THE PROCESS

How we work with you

Simple, personal, and focused on finding the right fit — not just the fastest placement.

We meet and listen

We sit down with you — in person or online — to understand your business, your team, and what success looks like for this role. We ask the questions most recruiters skip.

We go to work

We search our candidate network first — built over 40 years across NZ. If the right person isn't there, we go to market immediately. You won't wait weeks for a shortlist.

We present the right people

No CV dumps. A focused shortlist of candidates who genuinely fit — already screened, referenced, and profiled. Your time is not wasted on the wrong people.

You choose. We follow through.

You make the decision. We handle the offer and paperwork. Then we check in after placement to make sure it's working — for you and for them.
