Testimonials

We have been working with SearchWorks for several years and they are the go to people in Wellington for those difficult to fill roles.  Their ability to understand the culture and personality types that make up our different service lines are what sets them apart.  They never fail to deliver high quality candidates who they know well, so there are never any dramas around competing offers or candidate quality.  And as a locally owned company, the stability and loyalty that brings is priceless.

Recruitment companies can be somehow tiresome when looking for a job. My experience with Searchworks though was a refreshing change to the usual. They provided me with good representation and helped me to secure great conditions and a position that has been very rewarding. I worked with a talented Recruitment Consultant with extensive experience and business networks who was also very enthusiastic and keen to help me to get on. I would not hesitate to recommend Searchworks and their consultants if what you need is a friendly, efficient recruiter who can generate excellent results for you

J.A, Candidate

Planview was expanding its operations in the New Zealand market and decided to use an agent to help research the market. The success of the recruitment relied on understanding the type of candidates required, the local market and understanding the right questions to ask. Planview looked at a number of sources and quickly realised that the recruitment process required an organisation that Planview could trust and could help guide Planview through the process to ensure success. Many recruitment companies offer a long list of candidates, simply matched by assessing the job description with a list of candidates that are kept on file. This approach did not provide a sufficient guarantee that the right candidate would be selected.

Planview looked for a company that would act in its interests and found Searchworks. A dedicated team of individuals, who has extensive knowledge of each its candidates, matching  them very closely to the requirements of Planview. Searchworks demonstrated a clear understanding of the market in which we operated, the type of people we looked to employ and importantly took time to understand the culture of Planview and what it was bringing to the candidate. Searchworks not only found candidates, they helped Planview consider what it was offering and how to find the best candidate. They guided and advised all the way through the process, from specifying job descriptions through contract signing.

The only problem I had with Searchworks was that they provided too many good candidates, all very capable of performing the job, making the decision much tougher.

I would strongly recommend Searchworks to any organisation who is recruiting and cares about the people it will employ.

Searchworks placed me in my latest role (at PlanView). They took a good deal of time and effort to understand the type of role I was looking for and making sure there was a good fit with the client's needs. It was a refreshing change to deal with a team who treat you as a human being rather than an entry in the candidates database. I would recommend Searchworks without hesitation to job candidates and recruiters alike.
