- Self-employed, full or part time - you choose!
- Based anywhere in NZ - but South Island preferred!
- Strong reputation in both public and private sectors
About Us:
We are a team that has been active in the recruitment sector for between 15 and 40+ years, so have a wealth of experience to share! And we have worked together in different iterations during this time. We'd like to add to the team in preparation for what we believe will be a “re-engaged” 2025!
TalentNow was established 18 years ago, and pioneered the remote-virtual business model before the “WFH way” became part of the business norm. We all operate from home offices and work the hours to suit individual lifestyle and other activities. We deal with some of NZ's largest public and private sector organisations and have a healthy mix of contract and permanent business that shifts with the business environment. Our market is from middle management upwards, and across all professional and commercial disciplines.
Our USP
During the pandemic, the business grew significantly because we were already operating a model that the market then adopted but for us was BAU.
So we were the first to operate the remote virtual business model. And because we eliminated overheads, we were able to offer much lower fees without compromising quality of service to clients, and also pay much higher “commission” to Associates, whilst still retaining strong profitability.
This has meant clients who are cost conscious for professional services, often the public or Govt sector, NGO, and the Not for Profit sector, find our offering very attractive.
About the Opportunity:
With what seems an optimistic uptick in the business mood for 2025, we would like to expand the team in anticipation of this.
Whilst this is a remote WFH role, there is a requirement for physical client and candidate meetings from time-to-time, so having South Island representation would be ideal.
You'll need to be an experienced Recruiter (mandatory), most likely having gained that experience by working for an external consultancy or agency. You may even have been on your own and finding it tough without the collegiality, database, and networking capability.
This is an opportunity to have the best of both worlds - flexibility to work as you want, but with colleagues to work alongside who are there to support each other.
About You:
As well as your recruiting experience and recruiting capability, there are some factors and “traits” that will make you successful in this type of environment. You'll need to:
- likely have at least 10 years experience in recruitment
- be self-disciplined and not easily distracted
- have experience in sales and business development, and not be “call reluctant”
- be strong in relationship management as relationships and trust in recruitment can take time
- be financially secure, because like any self-employment opportunity, it can take a moment or two to generate revenue
- work from home and have the the right technology
- have a balance in your life and perhaps even have other personal or business interests alongside this work
Please note that this is a role that requires experience as a recruiter, not someone who has done recruitment as part of a wider HR role. It is unlikely internal recruitment will have given you the business development experience you will need to be successful as an external recruiter.

PLEASE NOTE ONLY THOSE IN NZ WITH RECRUITMENT EXPERIENCE WILL BE CONSIDERED.
