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.

Managing Director, Accounting Firm

Human Resources Advisor, National Wholesalers

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!

Holly provided great service from start to finish. She provided a detailed email summarising the experience, qualities and individual situation of each candidate that I was able to send directly to the hiring partner.

People and Culture Advisor, Mid-tier National Firm

Christchurch

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.

Fluid delivered a pro-active and detailed approach in providing high calibre applicants, resulting in us securing the services of a superb individual. An exemplary service was provided throughout.

Financial Controller, Health Sector

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

Eden at Fluid Legal made the job hunt from the UK stress free. He knew the market, gave a personal service and helped me find a great role.

Senior Associate (Property), Mid-tier National Firm

When we advised we would like to make an offer to Holly's candidate, she informed us of the other offer the candidate was expecting and really helped to 'sell' our offer to her, resulting in a timely verbal acceptance from the candidate. We have be
