Finding their balance...
When I moved to Rotorua, I found it hard to find suitable employment. Luckily someone suggested I call Talent ID. They’ve been by my side since day one. They helped with improvements to my CV and cover letter, coached me through the interview process and have been my rock in a turbulent job market. They have been WONDERFUL in terms of placing me into employment comparable with my experience while learning new skills that will enhance my career. The work has been both challenging and interesting. I am very happy with the decision to use Talent ID and would happily recommend them to anyone who is looking for a job.

“Talent ID played a crucial role in assisting our company to find a new team member. Initially, we needed a temporary resource to bridge a gap in our workforce and Stefanie quickly understood our requirements. Her dedication and efficiency in sourcing a qualified candidate on short notice were impressive.
Thanks to Stefanie's efforts, we now have a valuable team member who has seamlessly integrated into our business, having transitioned from temporary to a permanent team member. We highly recommend Stefanie and TalentID for their outstanding services and look forward to continuing our successful partnership in the future."

“We have called in 7 temps in the last 8 months, partly because some have become so much a part of our work family, we have made them permanent employees and had to call in new temps to replace them!
We recently implemented a new Financial Management System which meant a delay in processing. Having reliable temp staff helped to clear the continuous backlog and allowed us to use our more senior employees where needed.
Talent ID has reliable staff, does the vetting and reference checking for us and they are amazing to work with.”

“I decided to register for casual roles with Talent ID while we got settled into our new town. After registering my interest and CV with the agency, I had an interview with Stefanie within a week. Two weeks and a formal job interview later, I received an offer for a casual role within my career field.
This has now turned into a permanent, full-time role. Talent ID is the professional, efficient recruitment agency to use if you want a quick, smooth transition into job roles. Thank you Stefanie and the team for the friendly service.”

“I highly recommend temping as it is a great way to use your skills and adapt them to different working environments. I have completed one 6-month temp role and on my second assignment through Talent ID now.
I have enjoyed meeting and working with new people, understanding different systems and processes, and learning about the culture and values of the organisations. Temping has been a great way to understand the NZ job market, which I am new to, and to guide me in the direction I would like to take my career.”
Allison, Rotorua
