Hear what people say about us.

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

Waikato

I had a brilliant hiring experience through the efforts of Jason, easily the best job application process I have been through. It was relaxed, easy to ask questions and bounce ideas around. It was more like having a coach in your corner.

Area Sales Manager, National Engineering Supplier

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

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

Christchurch

Excellent service! Blake catered for my requirements and offered me options that matched my preferences. Backed by great communication at all stages of the process, leading to me being successfully placed in a role and company I love.

BAS Accountant, Tax Accounting Firm

Christchurch

Nice and easy experience. Found a job much quicker than expected at a great quality firm. Great communication throughout.

Solicitor, Law Firm

Nelson

He promptly followed up with me to see how the interviews went and to make sure that the culture/environment of the employer fits me well. He was also prompt in following up with the employer to enable me to secure a job offer within a very short period o

Intermediate BAS Accountant, National Accounting Firm

The genuinely consultative approach and depth of insight as legal specialists sets Fluid apart. The level of transparency and trust in the relationship has given us complete faith in Fluid’s ability to deliver positive outcomes for the firm.

Partner, Large South Island Law 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

Auckland

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

I had a very good candidate experience. Jason kept me updated at all times. They also gave me tips with regards to relocating to Dunedin and offered support if needed. Fluid Recruitment has a professional approach, very friendly staff.

HR Advisor, City Council

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

We appointed Peter to help us build our corporate office leadership team. We were pre-revenue, operating in a highly complex and competitive industry, and our requirements were complex. Peter delivered on all fronts for us.

Managing Director, Agribusiness Exporter

Central Otago

I have worked with James for the last three years and he has delivered time and again excellent candidates for our business. I would have no hesitation in recommending his recruitment services and he is the first on my list whenever I have a need.

Director, National CA Firm

Blakehas partnered with us to make multiple placements in both a permanent and temporary capacity. Blake’s knowledge of the Christchurch CA market is second to none and I look forward to continue working with him for all things recruitment into the future
