Specialist experts aren’t easy to find

Every business owner in New Zealand knows good talent is hard to find. I don’t expect to place a job advert and have applications come flooding in.

Recruitment is a game of join the dots where today’s new connection is tomorrow’s perfect candidate. To find you the right candidate, I’ll do at least 30-50 calls and emails, not to mention many LinkedIn DMs.
