"From the moment I walked through the door at Direction Recruitment, I felt that I was welcomed and the level of service I received was nothing short of outstanding.
Sandra encouraged me from start to finish and followed up promptly with feedback on my CV and which role I would be best suited to. Now that I have found employment, I would recommend the services of Direction Recruitment to any job seeker or employer I come into contact with."

Dear Sandra,
I felt the need to write and express my gratitude for your professional help in the task of finding employment.
From the first greeting by the lady at the reception desk I felt very at ease and welcomed, which means a lot when you’re nervous.
You started by listening to me and allowed me to explain what I was looking for in a job, very rare in recruitment as most are just interested in filling the roles they have.
Direction work differently to other Recruitment agents I have worked with in the past, You were very forth coming with advice on all aspects of recruitment including offering to re-structure my CV.
In times like these where jobs aren't easy to find having the help and support of a qualified / unprofessional team like you have at Direction Recruitment, made me feel a lot more positive.
Please use this letter in anyway you feel will let other people know about the excellent support you offer your candidates.
Once again thank you for all your help. With kind regards

"Firstly, thanks for the time that you spent with me today. It was refreshing to deal with someone who is so professional.
I have come away from our meeting feeling invigorated and ready for the next challenge."

“Over the last several years I've had the opportunity to employ temporary staff and have worked very closely with Direction. I found the Directions staff to be tuned in, intuitive and knowledgeable about their clients and to quickly understand my needs as a manager. I worked specifically with Sarah and Sandra who were both very responsive--understanding the urgency I felt to fill my positions.
The quality of people sent by Directions (I think there have been 5) was very high.”
Dr. Rita Shelley, North Tec
"Out of all the employment agencies I approached in Whangarei you and your team was the most professional and supportive and proactive in finding me opportunities that suited my experience and capabilities in a short time.
Your commitment to my situation and offering me solutions and advice gave me back the confidence I felt I had lost.
That means a lot when you are unemployed. Also you practice the lost art of communication and courtesy which sadly seems to be missing in today’s business climate.
Keeping a client informed shows your commitment in looking after their interests and that they matter. With my background I know how important that is. I will have no hesitation in recommending you and your team to anyone who wants to listen and be helped.”
Mat Simpson, Whangarei
"This was the first time I had ever used a recruitment agency and found your team the best. You should be proud and believe me, coming from the customer service industry, all the girls were great.
From the moment I walked in and saw the warm smile at the front desk I was at ease, felt welcomed and valued. The whole process right to the end was priceless.
All of you have started my career and opened doors to Early Childhood Education."

“As a successful provider of interim management and management consulting services to primarily UK public sector organisations for the past twenty years, I have had extensive experience of dealing with recruitment agencies of different sizes and public profiles. During that time I was fortunate enough to make contact with Sandra and, through her efforts, obtain numerous and varied assignments over a ten year period from 1995, until she left the UK for New Zealand.
I always found that Sandra’s great strength, when compared with other recruiters recruitment consultants, was that she took particular care to understand both the needs of employing organisations and those of her clients whom she was placing. Her competitors never appeared able or willing to match her care and attention to detail that secured successful ongoing business relationships. She always demonstrated the highest level of integrity in her dealings with her clients.
Whether or not you are an employer looking to recruit a new employee or someone looking for a new job or work assignment, I have no hestitation in recommending Sandra to you as someone who will help you to realise your needs. Sandra is simply the best.”

"The Direction team have been very professional in their conduct with me in as a job seeker. Whilst other recruitment firms have been very lax, Direction have shown me the professionalism and individual care that has been missing in the Whangarei recruitment market."
