OUR APPROACH TO ENHANCING CAREERS
A Partner you can Trust
Looking for your next role, and going through an interview process can feel like a daunting prospect, we have been there too, and we get it.
We approach every part of a recruitment process with integrity and care. Every person within Fluid is employed because they share our core values; expertise, integrity and commitment.
Relationships not Transactions
We aim to work with candidates throughout their career from entry through to exit from the industry.
Many of our current clients are ex-candidates whom we have worked with in the past, which demonstrates the trust and confidence they have in our service and process.
Genuine Market Expertise
Unlike generalist agencies, here at Fluid all our consultants specialise solely in their own segmented sectors of the market.
This dedicated approach to industry verticals and regional markets enables us to hone our skills and build comprehensive market insight.
Industry Connections
Sometimes it is all about getting a candidate in front of the right person in an organisation.
Over the past twelve years we have developed relationships with some of New Zealand's leading commercial organisations and professional services firms, meaning we know who to talk to and how to get results where others cannot.
Getting to Know You
Our consultants take the time to get to know you, what makes you tick, and what you are wanting to achieve.
This helps us to be targeted in delivering only the most relevant and exciting opportunities, specific to your key requirements.
Post Placement Care
We want every interaction we have to be a positive one that adds genuine value to your career.
That's why our job doesn't just stop when you sign the contract. We'll be there every step of the way as you get settled into your new role to ensure that your integration is successful.
