How We Helped an SME Save $71,512 on Recruitment

A Real Example From One of Our Clients

This Auckland-based business had grown to 100+ staff, and their recruitment costs had grown with it. They were spending close to $150k per year on agency fees.

They came to us frustrated. They were still doing much of the heavy lifting themselves and paying high commission fees on every hire. We showed them there was a better way.

Why It Worked

Here’s what changed:

  • No commission fees, ever

  • Less admin for their managers

  • Faster time-to-hire

  • Better candidate fit and longer tenure

  • End-to-end support, from advert to 1 & 6 month checkins

They stayed in control. We did the heavy lifting

What They Said
