Welcome to Yvette Harrison Recruitment

During more than two decades as a recruitment consultant I have worked with thousands of companies and candidates throughout NZ. Individual scenarios differ but they all have a common need that informs every aspect of my service – and that is to receive professional, personalised service that makes them feel valued.

I will deliver this – and more – when working with you. As one of New Zealand’s leading technical recruitment specialists, I work on a low-volume high value model. This means you will only be dealing with me at every stage of the process, gaining the maximum benefit from my years of experience and extensive industry networks.

Here are some comments from happy customers and candidates.

Yvette is a fantastic recruiter. You would be hard pressed to find someone who works as hard for both their clients and their candidates. With her deep market knowledge, intellect and strong integrity she is a credit to the recruitment industry.

Client

Yvette has excellent
knowledge of the local industry in New Zealand. She's skilful at finding the
perfect job for the ideal candidate. She demonstrates a deep understanding of
the company's needs and what the job description says. I highly recommend
Yvette and see her as an outstanding Recruiter!

Candidate
Filipe

Yvette has been very helpful in every step of the way - from preliminary screening to offering the job. She provides insight as to the nature of the job and working environment, interviewers' background, tips for interview, and more. Friendly yet professional. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Candidate
Tian

Yvette was very knowledgeable and responded to my enquires with professionalism and without delay.

Candidate
James

I had the opportunity of working closely with Yvette on several recruitment assignments at my previous company (Griffins Foods Ltd). I found her to be a person with whom I could relate to easily on a professional level. She has indepth experience and expertise in her chosen field hence the great calibre of quality candidates she had placed within the business who had a huge impact on driving improved performance.

I found that Yvette's level of service delivery was impecable especially at times when the the markets were low on good candidates. Sshe would find them for me....we are still in touch and I would continue to engage her services should I require them in the future and have no hesitation recommending her to other business.

Client

I'm truly thankful and grateful."

Yvette has quite literally gone the extra mile for me. She has applied her vast experience in recruiting to sift out the very essence of who I am and what qualities would best suit both her clients' needs and my aspirations. Not one to stand on ceremony, she is efficient and honest in her appraisal of my capabilities. This has given me great confidence that she can place me in a role that I will thrive in.

Yvette has good industry knowledge and the ability to match a person to an appropriate role, and visa versa.  She is thorough in making sure the candidate understands the company's requirements and sets them up in the best way possible to have a good interview.
