First impressions count 
Your job advertisement is often a job seeker's first interaction with your company. In our tight-knit Manawatū community, reputation matters. As professional recruiters we understand local business culture and can help position your role to appeal to local talent while also attracting job seekers from further afield who might be drawn to our region's lifestyle benefits.

Local employment market knowledge
Professional recruiters live and breathe the local job market. We can advise on:

• Which salary ranges are competitive across the Manawatu
• Which benefits job-seekers value most
• How to appeal to your ideal demographic (from experienced professionals and recent Massey or UCOL graduates)
• Which skills are in high demand across the Manawatū region

Speaking the right language 
A well-crafted job advert does more than list requirements. Recruiters know:

• The most suitable language and structure to attract quality applications
• How to balance technical requirements with cultural fit

Recruiters save you time and money

• A poorly written ad can attract unsuitable candidates, wasting your time
• You may overlook key selling points, turning away good applicants
• It can take longer to fill the position and results in higher recruitment costs long-term

Avoid common pitfalls 
Professional recruiters help you sidestep typical mistakes like:

• Being too vague about responsibilities or missing critical information
• Including unconscious bias in the language
• Setting unrealistic expectations

The power of professional networks 
When you work with a recruiter, your job ad doesn't just go public - it gets shared through established professional networks. This means:

• Access to passive candidates who aren't actively job hunting
• Reach into specialist professional groups
• Connection to talent relocating to Manawatū
• Tapping into word-of-mouth referrals

Better response rates
A well-written job ad will typically generate:

• Higher quality applications
• Better matched talent
• More engaged responses
