NEW KIWIS 
Set up for success: Find the right person the first time click here
Emerging from the recession, recruitment choices are more important than ever before. Finding the right person the first time may be critical to the future success of your business.
A recent Chamber of Commerce snap poll of 1,100 businesses revealed that employers recognise the importance of this and are applying a more proactive and stringent approach to their selection process.
According to Penny Smith, manager of the Chamber of Commerce’s Employment division, this is the reason for the increasing popularity of the New Kiwis recruitment and employment services, which are offered at no cost.
“Organisations can’t afford to make bad employment choices and are looking to professional recruitment services for advice and support and to speed up the process.”
“We find more and more businesses are eager to take advantage of our employment services. I think this is because they enjoy the convenience of being able to instantly construct their own shortlist from a variety of quality candidates.”
“Our New Kiwis website ( www.newkiwis.co.nz) links employers to highly qualified, migrant job seekers and returning Kiwis ready to start immediately, at no cost. These candidates are skilled and experienced in a variety of fields and have a wealth of local and international expertise to bring to your team“
Bobby Sharma, Export Manager of Turners and Growers and advocate for the service says: “We’d been looking for someone for a sales executive position and hadn’t had any success in finding the right person. Admittedly we were looking for someone with really specific skills. However, this was no trouble at all for New Kiwis - within a day they’d found the perfect person for the job who is still a very valuable member of the team, four years down the track.”
As the economy begins to recover and skilled job seekers get snapped up, Penny Smith believes it would be unwise to delay recruitment.
“Businesses need to act fast and be proactive by searching for quality candidates now if they expect to have the best pool of potential employees to choose from. The Chamber has access to a large variety of candidates who are flexible in their work requirements and are ready to start immediately.”
