We Start differently

 

At Start we pride ourselves on our counsel and our connectivity with clients and candidates alike.  Because of our relationship based approach we ‘get under the skin’ of your business and understand that ‘making a hire’ is not just about ‘making a hire’ but a strategic investment into your future growth strategy. 

We’ll take time to get to know your business and we make no apologies for that as building foundations and relationships makes Start more valuable to you as a partner and the long-term results more impactful.  

We’ll ask the bigger questions so we get the to core of what you are looking for and what you need;  with precision focus, expertise and care.  We won’t be afraid to challenge you if we see opportunities for improvements – Start promotes a better, smarter, braver strategic approach to finding top talent. 

We are not a one-size-fits all business but will tailor our approach to your ambition, your growth strategy, your required subject matter expertise and your culture to ensure you get what you need. Strategically. Technically. Culturally.  Always.

We do it differently

We live by our principles day in and day out.  These are not values on a page, they are principles that come from who we are as humans as what drives our behaviour every day.

  • Open-ness [what you see is what you get]

  • Integrity [being the best we can be to our core and always doing the right thing]

  • Bravery [not afraid to challenge to create greater impact

  • ‘Start-ness’ – [the secret juice that the ‘Starters’ have. Energetic, fun, passionate and the team to have on your side in a fight]

This means you’ll always have a promise from Start that we will meet your business, strategic and recruitment needs, but we’ll do it in a way that’s more fruitful, enjoyable and fun.

We understand your landscape and work hard to solve a problem or find a solution

Since Covid 19 the world has changed.  The talent market has been uncertain. Making big bold moves around career changes has become more challenging.  

However, At Start. we believe the best talent always has options, even in the most trying of global times. And, that’s where we stand out with our candidate connectivity and our relationship-based approach.  

We take pride in the talent ecosystem we have built in the Top of the South region, New Zealand and beyond our borders in the last 20 years in terms of knowing, continuing to identify and engaging with top talent. Always.

And won’t rely on a CV. We’ll rely on our experience, expertise, and instinct, so if we see a fit that might be a little brave, but what we think will be a winning solution, we’ll go for it and work with you in a relationship-based partnership to convince you to do the same if its best for the business.  Always.
