Status Recruitment - HR & Recruitment Specialists, Christchurch, New Zealand

What People Are Saying

Our clients include professionals within the private and public sectors.
Here are some examples of what they are saying about us:

Jason Pegley South Island Regional Accountant I first met Craig Shutt and his team in late 2007 when I came to Status Recruitment & HR as a candidate looking to move on from my then current role of three years. Within days I had my first interview at a large Crown Research Institute, where I was successful and can still be found today. My role here as South Island Regional Accountant has some 15 staff reporting to it and during the 18 months in this role I have needed the services of Status Recruitment & HR on three occasions for both maternity leave and permanent positions. On all three occasions the calibre of candidates were of the highest standard, two of which were successfully placed, with the third coming a close second for the final role. I find that Status only send through CV's for candidates that have all the required experience and qualifications and can therefore do the job that is being advertised, which is not always the case when using recruitment agencies. It is obvious to me that the team at Status Recruitment really know the finance market well and have a great grasp on the type of candidate that I'm looking for to join my team, so much so that I have agreed to allow Status to be my primary recruitment agency going forward. In the current employment market any advertised role will receive dozens of CV's so employing the services of Status to do the recruiting for me is a much better use of my time and my employers resources. ....................................................................................................... Dave Brady Financial Manager Davis Ogilvie Financial Services When trying to get inside a target organisation, it is vital who you work with. That person must have the skills, contacts and integrity to not only get you in the door but also engineer you into a position of strength. Craig Shutt of Status Recruitment & HR was that person for me; opening the door, persistently working to get me in front of the decision makers, and finally assisting me in closing the contractual arrangements to secure an exciting new career opportunity.	Craig Harrington Director Computer Culture Ltd We recently engaged Status Recruitment & HR to employ a permanent IT Sales Coordinator. This was a critical addition to our small team as the successful candidate interfaces with our key clients and suppliers. Initially Craig Shutt visited our offices and took a brief for the position. He also conducted personality profiling with the management team to better understand the personality styles that would complement the existing staff. Craig then commenced the recruitment assignment which included advertising the vacancy and pre-screening applicants. Within two weeks we were presented with a shortlist of four very relevant candidates of which we decided to interview three. From this we were able to select our preferred candidate and Craig completed personality profiling and reference checking before we made an offer of employment. I would highly recommend the quality of service provided by Status Recruitment & HR and we will definitely continue to work with Craig and his team as our business grows. ....................................................................................................... K.W.Ward Administration Manager Transmark Fcx NZ Transmark Fcx NZ initially engaged Status Recruitment & HR in late 2007 and we have subsequently filled a number of full and temporary positions through them resulting in very low subsequent staff turnover. Although at times our criteria for applicants is somewhat demanding Craig and his team have always met or exceeded our expectations. I feel the key difference with Status is the level of professionalism to achieve long term results by accurately fitting the needs of candidates with the culture and direction of the company as opposed to just filling roles and claiming a commission. I would have no hesitation in recommending Status to other potential employers and they are without question our recruiter of choice.
