• Masterclass and Trusted Advisor approach to recruitment methodology
• Opportunity to reset how recruitment will help our NZ economic recovery
• Regional representation alongside a national presence

For us, during this crisis,our existing business model has meant we continue to operate business as usual!

Our expertise and success have spanned many decades through crises similar to the one that we are currently facing.  Innovation has seen us reverse industry trends, where we have experienced growth during difficult times when the rest of the recruitment sector has faced contraction.  Our Recovery Register is an example of proactivity during economic upheaval.

Our ‘virtual or remote based’ model, our focus and long term experience  in contracting, aligned with the unparalleled sector experience of our Associates, means that the next few years present an unprecedented opportunity.

It is quite clear that “talent conversations” going forward will need an entirely different “language”. We believe that recruitment’s “new normal” will be a constant and adaptable change of resource, and what we offer clients will have to align with this.  This is something we can respond to.

The Opportunity

In line with this, we are seeking Expressions of Interest from recruitment sector professionals to become part of our “hub” and present services we believe will offer relief and recovery resources to those wanting to engage the skills they need to move forward in the new economic environment.  We want to talk to those who may be part way on this “curve” and do not want to flatten it, but make it rise exponentially!

Criteria

There are proven criteria we need for success in our environment, so you’ll need the following:

• Have your own home office with the right technology
• Be financially resilient
• Possess a minimum of 10 years’ (preferably more) experience in external recruitment
• Have experience across all aspects of recruitment – permanent, contracting, etc.
• Have operated at a professional and executive level
• Be experienced in the end-to-end process of recruitment, right from BD through to fulfilment
• Bring value with strong connections and networks
• Be entirely self-motivated and be a self-starter
• Be comfortable working the hours you need – full or part-time
• Be a “mature” operator who can identify with all working generations

Attributes

Amongst the personal attributes, you’ll need are the following:

• Strong ethics and professional integrity, transparency, accountability, and reliability
• Ability to conceptualise and problem-solve, with a consistent and structured approach
• Have a flexible and adaptable approach to resourcing solutions
• Possess exceptional communication and relationship management skills
• Be able to influence resourcing decision-making with sound commercial advice
• Not be afraid to challenge convention
• Have broad commercial skills applicable to both the public and private sectors

Action

We are seeking genuine enquiries from experienced recruiters who may either be operating on their own and perhaps feel an “association” may be the best way forward, or perhaps high performers within larger operators who may find the prospect of heading out on their own somewhat daunting in the uncertainty of today’s recruitment climate.

During the GFC, talentnow! grew year on year, and we believe this experience is a strong foundation that will allow us to do something similar in the environment we are currently facing.

If any aspect of this opportunity has aroused your interest, then please call in confidence to Kevin Chappell, Principal Director, 0295-974739, or Amanda Scott Consulting Director, 021-784483 for more details.

You can also register your interest by following our Registration process.

• Quick start for SQL ETL specialist
  
• Innovative projects, exciting development
  
• Hamilton-based
  

So we are after a very good expert in this area, but who also isn't too technical that they get too immersed in the detail and not see the bigger picture!  Therefore, as well as your technical expertise, we need someone with strong communication skills and the ability to engage with key stakeholders during the process.

You'll be the key point of contact for all ETL/SQL Data warehouse queries, identify and deal with all errors and issues, and have the capability to quickly resolve things with stakeholders to keep the project operating smoothly.

You will have strong knowledge of SQL and SSIS, and have experience managing ETL in a complex environment.  Because this is data migration into a cloud environment, experience in a similar type of project is important.

If you are available, coming available, or looking for something stable over the next 6-12 months, then this project could be just the one for you.

Please submit an application as soon as possible via our registration process and complete all the forms for faster processing.  You can also call Kevin Chappell on 0295-974739 for further detail, preferably though once you have submitted an application.
