From an Employer's perspective:
Even when you are really experienced in selection, recruitment and HR… at times it is not optimal to recruit your own team members. Like many business owners, when it comes to recruiting for my own team, I want to tell the potential new-comer all the great reasons for joining my team, especially if I quickly warm to them. Interview bias is certainly something that I can become susceptible to. It is for these reasons that I have used Tanya to recruit two of my top performers and will continue to use her going forward. Tanya is completely thorough and objective in her approach, she knows my business and me extremely well and she knows what to ask when it comes to meeting candidates or undertaking references. I know that by the time I meet short listed candidates that they will fit into my team. I trust Tanya implicitly when making hiring decisions for my team.
I highly recommend Tanya, she is an astute business woman who understands the needs and challenges of other business owners.

I am the owner of a Hairdressing Salon which has been in the family for some 35 years. It is a small suburban salon with myself and 1 senior hairdresser working in the business, after 8.5 years my senior stylist decieded to leave. Not having to have dealt with having to employ staff for some time it became obvious that I was out of my depth, (great hairdresser hopeless in recruiting).
Having had Tanya as a client, I called her in a panic, she meant with me immediately she could hear the panic in my voice, and took over asking several questions where upon I answered no to most of them, do I have an employment contract, do I have a description of the vacant job, do I have the advertising in place and if so where and so on and so on.
As I am a small business and do not have the excess funds to spend of recruitment, Tanya was upfront and discussed my cost options. I decided to use Recruit NZ's unbundled service as opposed to end to end recruitment to save on the costs. Tanya created an advertisement, she listed it for me in all the right places, monitored it on a weekly basis, and assisted in creating the necessary Employment Agreements, Letter of Offer and all other relevant documentation required to employ staff in today's environment.
Tanya was unbelievable, she keep me updated, constantly checking everything was going ok, and even when I got a bit down because the right person seemed hard to find, she explained the process to me again, assuring me that it was normal. Tanya has an amazing wealth of knowledge in her industry and was a huge benefit to me in this stressful time. Knowing that you had someone like Tanya there supporting you and sending through all the right information is hugely important.
