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.

Hard to believe it’s been over a month already since I moved, and I just wanted to say thank you again for helping me get a role there. I’m loving it, my only regret is not joining sooner!

Junior Accountant, CA Firm

Eden made the process of changing jobs and moving cities easy and stress-free. At the outset, he clearly explained each step of the recruitment process and I consistently felt as though he had my best interests at heart.

Litigation Solicitor, Large Full Service Firm

Tom has always been a very inquisitive recruiter! He is not your traditional “take the brief from the client and run with it” recruiter. He wants to understand the company, the culture and really invests in the company he is recruiting for.

HR Manager, Electrical Distribution Network

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.

Partner, Large South Island Law Firm

Christchurch

Eden was responsive and knowledgeable in terms of the market, but what really set him apart was his ability to listen to what I was looking for in a role. I never felt pressured to accept something that didn’t feel right. No hesitation to recommend Eden.

Commercial Associate, Large Full Service Firm

Christchurch

I would highly recommend Georgia. She is friendly, proactive and up-front. She always responded to queries promptly and even followed up with me after I commenced my new role.

Lawyer, Mid-tier Law Firm

From the outset, Tom took the time to understand our requirements and after an extensive search, he came up with an impressive shortlist for us to discuss and debate. Tom regularly touched base to bounce ideas and check alignment with our expectations.

General Manager, Electrical Distribution Network

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

Fluid’s specialist legal focus gave us confidence that they understand the challenges in the legal practice market and more specifically the strategic priorities of the firm. Eden actively approached and secured the interest of a wide range of candidates.
