WHY CHOOSE FLUID TO MANAGE YOUR JOB SEARCH

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.

Hear what candidates say
about us.

Honest candidate feedback is important to us, so that we can continue to improve and innovate our service offering.

We have a longstanding relationship with Fluid Recruitment built on the hiring of a Director into the business ten years ago. They do the little things well, stay in touch, think differently, and are the ultimate professionals.

Chief Operating Officer, National Advisory Practice

Dunedin

I’ve worked with Marlene as both a candidate and a client and have established a positive working relationship with her. The line of communication was always open during the process and she always understood exactly what we were looking for.

Business Administrator, Accountancy Practice

Dunedin

Working with Jason at Fluid Recruitment has always been a simple, easy and personal process. His manner puts everyone he talks with at ease and he is able to hand pick the perfect candidates each time. He seems to know what you need before you do.

Business Manager, Health and Safety Sector

I had a great experience with Fluid. James Mason really helped in my application and I eventually got the job which I wouldn’t have been able to do without the effort and time he put in to helping me through the process. I would recommend to anyone.

Senior Accountant, CA Practice

Waikato

Chana and the Fluid team made the difference so that I could get the best possible job aligned to my profile. High level of professionalism and empathy, I truly recommend their services.

Legal Executive, Regional Law Firm

Hamilton

Emeka took the time to meet with me in order to fully grasp the nature of our work and the specific needs of our Firm. That extra knowledge proved very useful when he was later tasked with sourcing a candidate for a very specific role within our team.

Practice Manager, Corporate Law Firm

Wellington

I had a really good experience working with Fluid, they were very friendly and professional. Emeka was great, he kept me up to date with information relating to my application and provided me with timely feedback and updates.

Legal Executive, Law Firm

Dunedin

James was very helpful. He listened to me and understood what I was trying to achieve. He made the recruitment process easy for me. The follow-up phone calls show they care about their candidates. Highly recommended.

Commercial Analyst, Global Manufacturer

Hamilton

We have engaged Fluid Recruitment as our business has grown and they have consistently delivered. As we have expanded our geographical reach and opened new offices they have continued to provide exceptional talent for both planning and surveying.

Director, Multi-Disciplinary Consultancy

I recently worked with Eden to secure a role in a top tier firm. Eden was great to deal with, responding promptly to all questions and discreet when needed. He is very well-connected with the local market and an excellent source of the latest information.
