Why use XO Recruitment as your recruitment partner?

When selecting a recruitment partner, it's essential to ensure you find the right fit for your business. Having an agency that understands your industry and unique needs is vital to securing the ideal candidate for the role. When engaging with XO Recruitment, clients can expect the following:

Personalised service: Not only do we know the industry, but we take the time to get to know your business and what it is you are looking for in a potential candidate before commencing the recruitment campaign.

A hassle-free onboarding process: We have streamlined the onboarding process for added convenience and less paperwork. First, we'll have an initial meeting to determine if we are a match. We are advocates for our candidates and want to ensure the smoothest process possible and a positive and beneficial outcome for all involved.

Experienced IT and Tech recruiters: With over ten years of combined experience in internal and external recruitment and HR, we know the industry, understand the dynamics and jargon of the tech sector, and prioritise securing the most relevant candidates for every role. This ensures high-quality job seekers are matched to suitable high-end positions.

An honest and ethical approach: We are fully transparent at every step of the recruitment process - including discussions about the role and its requirements, what we can achieve for you, and our standard business terms. We will also advise on salary benchmarks per the current market. We pre-screen potential candidates to ascertain suitability for available roles prior to making candidate recommendations. Ethics are what drive us. So if we feel that some practices, either on the candidate's side or the client's, are unethical, we will cut the process short.

After-service support. We do not disappear once a candidate is placed. Instead, we provide thorough aftercare for the first three months to ensure the candidate settles in and you are happy with their performance. We welcome your feedback and honest communication throughout the process and work hard to customise our services to your needs.

We know that not everybody can afford full-cost recruitment services, but we also know the service we provide is valuable, and we want to make it accessible to everybody. We offer unbundled services to take some of the load of recruitment of your shoulders without breaking the bank. Check out our unbundled services.

Frequently asked questions by employers

Q: Why should we work with you?

A: We have many years of experience in recruitment and the tech sector in particular. We are here to change how recruitment is done because we disagree with how big corporate agencies drive their relationships. We are knowledgeable, relationship-driven and honest. We are not here for the glory and see our name on a stadium or sponsoring a rugby team; we are here to make a difference in the lives of the people we work with.

Q: How are you set up?

A: We have the same licences that the big agencies use, without the limitations of an impersonal, large corporation. We use LinkedIn, Seek to build beneficial networks and relationships and proactively seek the unique people you are looking for.

Q: Do you negotiate your fees or payment terms?

A: No. We believe in our service and how we deliver it, and we value our work. Therefore, our terms of business are very competitive and non-negotiable.

Q: Can you recruit outside of Christchurch?

A: Yes! The pandemic has proven that we can run businesses remotely, and we recruit across NZ. Our director also has experience recruiting in NZ, being based in France. Want to recruit outside of New Zealand? No problem, we can help with that too!
