    SOS Recruitment (SOS) is a fresh, new and creative boutique recruitment agency committed to removing the recruitment headaches of businesses and candidates on Auckland’s North Shore. We’re focused entirely on filling the widening niche which has appeared in the recruitment industry over recent years for a “real” and “down-to-earth” recruiter that understands businesses and job seekers because we’ve been there ourselves.Our talented and vastly experienced team delivers Permanent, Temporary, Executive and Contract services for a huge array of roles and industries spread across the office support and administration, accounting, customer service/call centre, information technology, sales and marketing and senior executive markets.SOS is a firm believer that recruitment is about people. Nothing less – and not much more! It’s about becoming as intimate as possible with your “employer client” in an endeavour to develop a genuine understanding of their business. It’s about really knowing what makes them tick, where their growth is coming from, where they’re heading, what their culture is and which people will fit best into that environment. We also understand that sometimes the best way to build these relationships is over coffee, a long lunch or a trip to the rugby!Recruitment is also about realising that a successful placement requires the “marriage” of two committed parties – not one! This means that real success is only achieved when a recruiter ceases to trade “candidate clients” like commodities – understanding they have feelings, names and personalities! They’re not numbers moving through agencies on a conveyor belt. They’re as important to the final placement outcome as the employer offering the position!Being a boutique agency, SOS’ owners/directors are key players in the day to day operations of the business and are therefore well placed to ensure SOS remains true to what we are. What is that you ask? Well, we’re about many things but in short – we’re about:•Taking away people’s staffing headaches;•Doing business in an old-fashioned, down-to-earth and genuine way•Creating meaningful (not lip service) relationships with our clients which lead to the provision of meaningful benefits to both parties;•Genuinely understanding your business and service offerings (we are one of the very few agencies owned and run by people who have held senior management roles within large companies);•Bringing the kind of passion and tenacity that only those with an ownership stake in a business can bring;•Being 100% locally owned and operated - with a vision of adding value to like-minded companies, and bringing the advantage of being a single source supplier;•Being a little bit different but most importantly – being REAL! This means that what you see is what you get. We don’t support falseness, facades, BS and political correctness.
