Hear what people say about us.

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.

Senior Associate (Corporate), Top-tier National Firm

I highly recommend James Mason for his professional & excellent service. He showed how he cares, supports and understand jobseekers like me. He always make sure that things are on track & always gives you positive advice. Very efficient & genuine.

Payroll Manager, National Manufacturer

Hamilton

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

As our business has grown, Jason has gone above and beyond to recruit many successful candidates for us across the country. Jason is very easy to work with and we find him to be professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful.

National Sales Manager, National Retailer

We've used Fluid for a few years now in the recruitment of a number of our team over this time. James tunes in well to our needs, he has taken the time to understand our business, what makes us tick and what is important to us.

Director, Accounting Firm

Wellington

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

Over the last couple of years James has consistently provided an excellent service to our business in what is an extremely candidate short and highly competitive market. James utilises his networks and industry knowledge to great effect for us.

Chief Financial Officer, Electrical Distribution Network

Highly recommend. In just a couple of days I went from discussing with Emeka what role I was looking for to signing a contract. Thanks Emeka for your help!

Junior Solicitor, Regional Law Firm

Queenstown

I was extremely impressed on how much Marli listened to what my needs were rather than trying to force a role in me because of monetary benefits. I was communication with another recruiter who I felt was not listening to what it was that I needed.

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

Holly and the team at Fluid worked harder for me than any other recruitment firm I've ever worked with. Holly was amazing, even securing me an interview with a firm that wasn't advertising. I highly recommend Holly and the Fluid team.

Legal Executive, Regional Law Firm

Christchurch

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 has been a delight to work with, she understood what we wanted from day one. We recommend Fluid often.

Partner, General Practice Law Firm

Waikato

Jason has been super from start to finish. Not only did he go above and beyond when we asked for a last-minute temp, but he found us outstanding talent. When you do recruitment day in and day out, it makes a huge difference to have someone like Jason who

People Advisor, Shipping Port
