Hear what people say about us.

Peter is someone I have gone to on three separate occasions as I have looked to advance my career, including through to my current role as a Partner in a national consultancy firm. He is relationship led, down to earth and has extensive market knowledge.

Advisory Services Partner, National Accountancy Practice

Chana and the Fluid team made the difference so that I could get the best possible job aligned to my profile. High level of professionalism and empathy, I truly recommend their services.

Legal Executive, Regional Law Firm

Hamilton

Eden was responsive and knowledgeable in terms of the market, but what really set him apart was his ability to listen to what I was looking for in a role. I never felt pressured to accept something that didn’t feel right. No hesitation to recommend Eden.

Commercial Associate, Large Full Service Firm

Christchurch

I had a great experience with Fluid. James Mason really helped in my application and I eventually got the job which I wouldn’t have been able to do without the effort and time he put in to helping me through the process. I would recommend to anyone.

Senior Accountant, CA Practice

Waikato

As our business has grown, Jason has gone above and beyond to recruit many successful candidates for us across the country. Jason is very easy to work with and we find him to be professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful.

National Sales Manager, National Retailer

Holly assured and supported me every step of the way, and was always willing to answer my questions. She kept me updated through all steps of the recruitment process and always gave me timely feedback. Because of her, I landed my dream job.

Junior Solicitor, Mid Sized Law Firm

Christchurch

Fluid’s specialist legal focus gave us confidence that they understand the challenges in the legal practice market and more specifically the strategic priorities of the firm. Eden actively approached and secured the interest of a wide range of candidates.

Partner, Large Full Service Firm

Dunedin

The best recruitment company I’ve ever been in contact with. Holly has been absolutely amazing and it was great to have her support during the recruitment process. She has continued to keep in touch to ensure the move went smoothly and that I settled in f

Legal Executive, Law Firm

Waikato

Tom has always been a very inquisitive recruiter! He is not your traditional “take the brief from the client and run with it” recruiter. He wants to understand the company, the culture and really invests in the company he is recruiting for.

HR Manager, Electrical Distribution Network

Chana is also a delight to work with – she’s professional, real, and fun . She moved the process along really well and the candidates also told me that she was great to deal with and they had a great candidate experience.

HR Manager, Regional Law Firm

Wellington

Genuinely delighted with the outcome in being able to appoint someone of such high calibre. Our Planning team had been stretched and we needed to strengthen our team at a senior level. Fluid had a very proactive approach in sourcing for us to great effect

Team Leader, Planning, Local Council

I made the move from Auckland to Christchurch so I knew nothing about the job market. Eden found me a position by convincing my current job to make a position for me. He didn’t just wait for something to come up. Highly recommend.

Registered Legal Executive, South Island Law Firm

Christchurch

Fluid worked closely with us to fill difficult technical positions. Always a pleasure to work with and I have complete confidence in their abilities to deliver. Within the very competitive recruitment industry, the service remains unrivalled.

HR Manager, Energy Sector

Chana has been a delight to work with, she understood what we wanted from day one. We recommend Fluid often.

Partner, General Practice Law Firm

Waikato

Over the last couple of years James has consistently provided an excellent service to our business in what is an extremely candidate short and highly competitive market. James utilises his networks and industry knowledge to great effect for us.

Chief Financial Officer, Electrical Distribution Network

Waikato
