Business support & admin recruitment
Admin recruitment specialists: people who keep organisations moving
There’s a lot more to business support, secretarial and admin professionals than meets the eye. Behind the calendar invites, scheduling and office administration, these people are the glue that hold organisations together.
As one of New Zealand's leading business support, and admin recruitment agencies, we listen to your aspirations and expectations, and can connect you to organisations who share our appreciation of the value you can add. Our admin recruitment team contains several ex- business support professionals, which means we understand where you’re coming from, where you want to be, and – most importantly – how to get you there.
