Just like the exoskeleton protects the body of the beetle, externalising your recruitment process might just protect your business. We know that recruiting is not easy. It takes time, money, and skills.

Chloe

With ten years of experience in recruitment in different countries, two years in internal recruitment and eight years in agency recruitment, Chloe has earned her stripes in the industry.
Originally from France, she first moved to New Caledonia for two years, working as an HR on a mining site. She then moved to Christchurch on a Working Holiday visa, fell in love with the country, and eight years later became a citizen.

Chloe brings over ten years of recruitment experience, both internally and in agencies.
Passionate about helping people achieve their goals in life, Chloe takes a very consultative approach to recruitment: it’s all about the relationship. Not here to make square pegs fit into round holes, Chloe calls herself a matchmaker: understanding the requirements extensively and making them match is key to success. Outside work, Chloe is passionate about fitness, teaching group fitness classes at Les Mills, boxing or hiking around her home in North Canterbury.
