HR Recruitment Specialists Auckland

Recruitment is about more than filling a vacancy. The people you bring into your organisation can have a significant impact on your culture, performance and future success.

At Positive People, we take the time to understand your organisation, your culture and what you really need from each role. We look beyond the CV to understand the skills, experience, behaviours and values that will help someone succeed in the position and contribute positively to your team.

With extensive HR and recruitment experience, we provide practical, personalised recruitment support designed to help you attract, assess and select the right people for your organisation.

Recruitment that fits your business

Every organisation and every role is different. Our recruitment approach is tailored to your requirements rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all process.

We work with you to understand:

  • The purpose and responsibilities of the role
  • The skills and experience required
  • The behaviours and attributes needed for success
  • Your organisation’s culture and values
  • The type of person who will complement your existing team
  • The current employment market and candidate expectations

This gives us a clear understanding of what you are looking for before we begin the search.

Full recruitment or flexible support

You don’t always need someone to manage the entire recruitment process. That’s why we offer flexible recruitment support based on what works for your organisation.

We can manage the full recruitment process, or provide support with specific stages where you need additional expertise.

Our recruitment services can include:

  • Developing or reviewing job descriptions
  • Advising on the recruitment strategy and candidate market
  • Advertising and promoting vacancies
  • Candidate sourcing and screening
  • Proactive LinkedIn candidate searches
  • Approaching and engaging potential candidates who may not be actively looking for a new role
  • Shortlisting suitable candidates
  • Conducting initial interviews
  • Coordinating interviews with your team
  • Reference checking
  • Supporting offer and remuneration discussions
  • Assisting with the appointment and onboarding process

Proactive recruitment

Sometimes the right person isn’t actively looking for a new job — which means they may never see your advertisement.

Our proactive LinkedIn searches allow us to identify potential candidates based on the skills, experience and attributes you are looking for. We can approach suitable people directly and introduce the opportunity, helping you access a broader talent pool beyond traditional job advertising.

This can be particularly valuable for specialist, senior or hard-to-fill roles where the available candidate market is limited.

Finding the right fit

Technical skills and experience are important, but they are only part of the picture. We consider how candidates are likely to work within your organisation, interact with your team and contribute to your culture.

Our robust selection approach helps you make informed hiring decisions and increases the likelihood of finding someone who will succeed in the role and stay with your organisation long term.

Importantly, we don’t simply tell you who to hire. We work alongside you, providing experienced advice and insight so you can make the final decision with confidence.

Flexible recruitment pricing

We offer flexible pricing depending on the level of recruitment support you need.

9% Recruitment Fee

For a full recruitment process, our fee is 9% of the successful candidate’s annual base salary. This provides an end-to-end recruitment service, from understanding the role and sourcing candidates through to selection and appointment.

Hourly Recruitment Support

If you prefer to manage some aspects of the recruitment process yourself, we can provide recruitment support on an hourly basis. This allows you to access our expertise for specific stages of the process without committing to a full recruitment service.

Hourly support can be particularly useful if you need assistance with candidate sourcing, LinkedIn searches, shortlisting, interviewing, reference checking or other parts of the recruitment process.

We’ll work with you to determine the approach that provides the best value and level of support for your organisation.
