"Giltrap City Ltd have used the services of Automotive and technical Personnel, in particular Brian Wong, over a period of many years, to find and place a number of technicians in our Service Departments.

"I used Autojobs for employment placement over the last 10 years employing a number staff in sales and aftersales areas. I have always found Autojobs to be honest and factual about the short listed candidates put forward."

Warren Carter - Chief Executive - Teamnissan Auckland

---------------------------------------------
I have always found Autojobs to be very efficient and thorough in finding candidates for my Audi and Volkswagen departments. They seems to know exactly what we are looking for at the time and the information that is supplied to make an accurate decision on the make up of a candidate is very informative and helpful in making the right choice.
 
I would recommend Autojobs to any company looking for good candidates as the whole process is painless.

After several attempts trying to correspond with Recruiting companies, I came across Marine Jobs on the internet.
Hesitant to get involved with any more recruiting agencies, I gave them a call.  As well a polite phone manner, they were very clear and concise with what they needed from me, and contact was made within hours, not days on end.
After one week I had an interview, and within an hour of returning home, I received a phone call from Rob Everall at Marine Jobs telling me that my interview was successful and that I could start as soon as I wanted.
It seems the attitude and lack of feedback from recruiting agencies is quite a frequently seen problem amongst Job searchers. However, after dealing with 3 other recruitment agencies, I would not hesitate in recommending Marine Job’s to anyone.  Their service is second to none.

“We had always struggled to find good quality candidates and ended up paying too much with the newspapers, but now with Automotive & Technical’s expertise this is no longer an issue”

I have had an association with Autojobs in general and John Woods in particular for many years both as a client and a candidate. They have been uncannily perceptive in my requirements for staff and has never failed to secure some of the best candidates across the board in both the technical and administration areas of the automotive industry.

In addition to paying regular visits to fully understand the candidates required for any given position (including my present place of employment in the Cook Islands) he has done a sterling job in keeping managers in touch with his ‘Confidential industry review’s’.

In effect John has made my life immeasurably easier by making sure I get the right people first time.

As a candidate John has had a huge impact on the progress of my own career from Service Manager through to General Manager by recommending employment with companies that have always been professional, challenging and rewarding and I personally thank him for this

After ten years at sea moving ashore presents some tough challenges, one of the biggest being a change of career.
Marine Jobs, and in particular Rob Everall helped me to establish exactly what I wanted in my next appointment.
Rob's interview style suited me perfectly, very relaxed and informal, yet also helping to bring to the fore all of my qualities and attributes that would ultimately assist Rob to match my skills and career goals and personality with the right employer. 
Six months on as the Service Manager of a busy marine engineering workshop in Auckland is not as far away from being Chief Engineer at sea as I initially thought, Rob and his lateral thinking helped myself and my employer to realise this and for that I am grateful.

We have worked with Autojobs for several placements over the past few years and have found them, particularly their consultant Steve, extremely professional and easy to work with.  They have a large candidate pool and each person who was put forward for the positions available had the skills we required.    I also found the  presentation of candidate CV and references incredibly comprehensive and of a really high standard.

Katie Nobile - Managing Director - Allied Medical

“How have we been treated by Autojobs?” I guess the answer is that both people we’ve employed via you have worked out well and are still with us so that’s positive. I appreciate the proactive approach you’ve taken at times (e.g. the recent candidate for our Service Engineer position), this certainly provides value to a company such as us.
I usually don’t place a great deal of store in the psych testing that recruiters carry out but I have to say in the case of this recent candidate it seemed uncannily accurate – and useful.

Brian was very persistent in ensuring that the recruitment process was always progressing.  In this particular case, the process was unusually lengthy and complicated, and Brian's determination and focus lead to a successful placement.

"Having just completed my studies, I approached Marinejobs in February 2008 in order to get a placement in the yacht design field. Within 2 weeks they had secured me a position with a prominent leader in marine composites. I found Rob to be very Professional, easy to deal with and has great knowledge of the current marine industry in New Zealand. A very easy, stress free process with proven results."

"Just a quick note on what it is like to deal with Automotive Technical Personnel (2001) Ltd.
Firstly let me say I hate to single out individual people.

I have found Automotive Technical Personnel very good to deal with.  In my discussions with Steve Langford regarding suitable staff, Steve understands what I require in the skill base of the staff that I require. Steve himself understands the high standards I require, he does not waste my time sending me candidates that he knows I will not interview.  Other agencies continually send me, often unsolicited candidates which promptly get sent to my trash folder.  What I like about Steve is that he comes and catches up every couple of months for a chat, and at these discussion times he finds out what is happening in our business, what is happening in the industry, who has gone where, etc.  He has his finger on the pulse, as opposed to other employment agencies who seldom have the inclination to conduct a "customer visit".  One day the time will be right for UD Trucks to hire a new employee AND Automotive Technical Personnel to have the right candidate for me to review AND I know that it will be of the calibre I require.

I have also dealt with John Wood who is another person that has his finger on the pulse.  With his recent (two years now) "Confidential Industry Review" of charge out rates, staff wage costs, and the feedback of this review to the suppliers of the information makes this a worth while project for the industry.  

I think that Allan Breckell has a really good team of staff that understand peoples (companies & candidates) needs."

"My name is Eduardo Nery, a Brazilian citizen, who recently moved to NZ along with my family.
It was July 2007 when I contacted Marinejobs through their web site from Brazil, responding to a CNC Operator Job advert.
I was contacted by Rob Everall, one of their consultants, and he gave me a outstanding feedback via e-mail explaining every single detail that involves work and leave in NZ.
So I finally came to the country and I was very well assisted by Rob, who helped me in every possible manner in order to obtain my Job Offer and initiate my migration process to this wonderful and peaceful country.
I do have previous experience with a few job agencies in the past but none of then compares even close to the service and professionalism that marinejobs.co.nz showed as they handled my case.  They help me find the job as well assistance in all Immigration processes with professionalism and kindness.
I'm so pleased with marinejobs.co.nz that Ii would strongly recommend then for all the professionals and tradesman who want to come to a new life in New Zealand, it is very important to stick with someone you can trust when a huge life change is involved and they are the right guys.  Thanks Rob... thanks Allan, keep up the good work!!!"

“For a small company like Flexicon getting hiring decisions right is absolutely crucial. Hiring the wrong person is usually worse than not hiring anybody! Our requirements were very specific: we wanted an experienced, unflappable production manager with loads of initiative, a positive attitude, and the ability to bring order from near chaos. Phil's experience in the industry meant he could very quickly understand the sort of skills and attitude we needed. He also worked out the sort of personality that would be right for our business. We were delighted with the calibre of candidate Phil found. We hired him straightaway and we've never looked back. Phil's experience, understanding and enthusiasm were fantastic - we really enjoyed working with him and he produced a great result.”

"To whom it may concern, We have been very impressed with the work that Phil James of PRINTJOBS has carried out for us since we first employed their services in 2005. The consultation he has given has been professional, thorough and he has understood our business requirements.
The quality candidates they have presented were excellent, as is PRINTJOBS ability to deliver on time, especially on posts that are often not straightforward.
They have helped us in a number of difficult areas where the Technical understanding of the consultant has enabled the right people to be presented.
The detailed and very comprehensive hard copy profile presented on each candidate covered all aspects of the applicants’ history, qualifications and immigration status to a very high standard.

We found PRINTJOBS to be a professional and friendly company who are a pleasure to work with.

To this end I have no hesitation in recommending ‘PRINTJOBS’ to anyone who appreciates a good value solution.

Having arrived from Africa, and New Zealand being my first country overseas, I really didn't know how to go about getting a job in the area that I had worked in for so many years back in my country. I tried applying to so many companies but all in vain.
After about two to three months of struggle with no reply, it was then that I saw an agency known as PRINTJOBS, and thought of giving it a try. I was shocked when I called and spoke to this person who seemed to believe in me even before he had seen me. An appointment was made for me to meet him.
On the day of meeting, it was my greatest joy to meet this person , PHIL JAMES , whom I did not know neither did he know me,  but we spoke the same language , ie: the printing language.
This is because he has been a Printer and this made me feel so much at home and gave me confidence. He trusted in me and was happy with all my papers and assured me of a job.
Indeed true to his word, I got a job in my very loving field  as a flexographic printer in one of the biggest Flexo Label companies here in KIWI LAND and I have been working now for more than a year and a half. Im loving it.
Thanks Phil James and thanks PRINTJOBS.

Testimonial Ex Uk Heavy Diesel Technician
24th November 2004

I made contact along with my father with the autojobs team during the London
New Zealand opportunities expo in October.
On talking to the consultants on the stand I established that their approach to immigration
to New Zealand seemed sound and logical and ensured me the greatest chance of success.
Following their advice I confirmed a date to travel to New Zealand for Job interviews and was appointed a consultant to work one to one with.
Brian Wong has been available to answer all my questions and the advice has been found to be sound.
They organized interviews for me in Auckland and also offered me advice about other locations.
I have had advice on cost of living and other matters pertinent to my immigration and feel confident that any future information I require they will source for me if it is not on hand " ask and they will provide"
I have been offered a position with one of the largest franchise dealerships in the country utilizing my qualifications in my desired location.
I am now returning to the Uk after 13 days in New Zealand with a Job offer to put my affairs in order and return to commence employment.
They offer a truly nationwide consultancy service from their Auckland office the position I have accepted is with a company based in Wellington and yet due to the national affiliations securing the interviews was not a problem.

I feel confident to recommend the www.helpme.co.nz way to any qualified immigrant to New Zealand. They have performed beyond my expectations.

They have now started to liaise with my father over his applications and I feel confident he will be joining me in New Zealand in the near future.

It's a big decision to make but we did, surfing the net looking for a new job in a new country especially when you have children, going from one side of the world to the other is quite daunting but also very exciting.

You don't know what you are going to find at the other end, what the people are like, do they speak the same language, do they drive on the same side of the road and not forgetting the schools for our children.

We made the decision to go to NZ and see it with our own eyes and make up our own minds as to whether we were making the right choice or not, luckily for us finding Automotive & Technical Personnel on the internet made it a little easier for us, we kept in contact with Automotive & Technical Personnel up to the time of departure from the UK.
[ Since the launch of www.helpme.co.nz this process has been simplified - Editor ]

On our arrival in NZ we were met by the owner of the company Allan Breckell which really put our minds at rest knowing we had someone there to greet us. We were driven straight to our hotel, during our journey we were told a bit about the country and were made to feel very welcome, it almost felt like home, but with jet lag (which believe us isn't very nice but after a few days does subside)

During our meeting with Brian Wong we were advised to hire a car, which is something we had never done in any country that we had visited, but were told this would be the easiest way to get around especially getting to and from interviews that had been set up for us by Automotive & Technical Personnel. So we hired a car and believe it or not it's true! We found it much easier to drive around NZ compared to the UK, it's very well sign posted and you can't really get lost! All the staff from Automotive & Technical Personnel and the people that we came into contact with in NZ were very friendly and helpful and made us feel really welcome.

We are glad we made the decision to go to NZ for the interviews and for the experience, we enjoyed it that much and it felt like home that we are now making plans to start a new life in NZ with our children in the New Year.
Thank-you for taking the time to read this and we hope from our experience that you too can make the choice to start a new life for yourself.
