This opportunity will suit an experienced Recruiter who wants the flexibility and freedom to work as you want, but enjoys collegiality. Full description.

• Self-employed, full or part time - you choose!
• Based anywhere in NZ!
• Strong reputation in both public and private sectors
• Highly experienced team with which to collaborate

All of us in the team have been active in the recruitment sector for between 15 and 40+ (shhh….) years, so have a wealth of experience to share! Having prior mutual connections through other companies,

Talentnow was established 18 years ago, and has operated since then very successfully, having 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 - fun, family, or favour! 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 and for us it was BAU.

So we were the first to operate the remote virtual business model, other than perhaps single desk operators who were small in numbers back then. 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, and the not for profit sector, find our offering very attractive.

About the Opportunity:

We are not looking for someone to learn this business. You'll need to be an experienced Recruiter, possibly from within an organisation, but 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.

We really don't need to spell out what you do, because you'll already know that!

About You:

As well as the technical recruiting capability, there are some factors and “traits” that will make you successful in this type of environment. You'll need to:

• be self-disciplined and not easily distracted
• be financially secure, because like any self-employment opportunity, it can take a moment or two to generate revenue
• work from home so will need some dedicated area to operate from
• have the the technology that allows you to connect easily with people
• have both business development and relationship management capability
• have a balance in your life and perhaps even have other personal or business interests alongside this work

Action:

You can submit an application by clicking on Apply, but I'd prefer a call initially to chat, or contact via email. Contact Kevin Chappell on 0295-974739, or email kevin@talentnow.co.nz

The Role

You will be focused on data gathering and analysis, data visualisation and strategy, leading to continuous improvement and enhancement of this company’s data platform. Plus improving database management, ensuring accurate and robust governance, and continually look at ways to innovate their strategy to leverage their data and improve decision making.

However you will still need the technical skills to be able to undertake the role and you will need knowledge and experience in most or all of their technology.

As you'll be gathering the info from many stakeholders, your communication skills, both written and verbal, will need to be excellent, and you'll need to be fluent in English. Therefore knowledge of the NZ commercial environment or experience in a comparative economy, is important.
