We are a team here at Technical Recruitment Solutions, and today I want to focus and reflect on the importance of teamwork, its role in recruitment, and what that means for you. Teamwork: What is it? “the activity of working together as a team, or the skills needed to do this.” – Cambridge Business English […]
Let’s say you’re about to start looking for work. You want all the help you can get. You can approach a recruiter like us yourself, but what if you could alert ALL of the recruiters in your industry at once that you’re looking for work? There are several ways to do this – let’s dive […]
A year ago today I started working with Technical Recruitment Solutions as their new Marketing Coordinator. As a recent graduate with limited experience in the workforce, I knew very little about the recruitment industry and even less about the technical industries that we specialise in. Here are the most important lessons I’ve learned about the […]
Having multiple job offers on the table can be a tricky situation to navigate. Generally speaking, it’s not a situation you prepare for when you’re job hunting, as you don’t expect it to actually happen. However, as we’ve seen throughout the 23 years that we’ve been operating, it happens more often than you’d expect. How […]
Some of the articles to make their way around the internet in the last few years would have you believe that sending CVs/resumes is an outdated practice and that we need to abandon them altogether. This sentiment originates from a generation of people that want technology to replace any and all archaic processes. However, if […]
Working remotely – or ‘from home’ as is often the case – is an option that is becoming increasingly more available to employees across many technical disciplines. If you’re a job seeker who lives a little far off the beaten track, or an employer wondering whether employing people remotely is the right move for your […]
How many articles have you read about what you SHOULD do in a job interview situation? If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably read your fair share. As such, it’s probably now more useful for you to read up on what you shouldn’t do rather than what you should! Here’s a modest list of just […]
Work breaks – do you know what you’re currently entitled to? And if you do, how about in May of this year when the Government enacts changes laid out in the Employment Relations Act 2018? Whether you’re currently working in New Zealand, or looking to move here for work, this will be relevant to you. […]
Firstly, happy 2019 to all of you reading our first blog post of the year. This week, lets talk about something topical. It’s the beginning of a new year. Many technical professionals will be considering looking for the next step in their career as a New Year’s resolution. It’s around this time that employers also […]
Just like that, another year draws to a close. At Technical Recruitment Solutions, we couldn’t be happier. We’ve had record-breaking success this year, placing more candidates than we ever have in previous years. The great thing about being in the recruitment business is that when we thrive, it means that you’re thriving as well – […]
There’s a lot going on during the holiday season. You’re busy buying gifts, making plans to visit loved ones or arranging to take time off. Perhaps all of the above. It may be that the last thing on your mind right now is hunting for a new job – after all, wouldn’t it be better […]
Do I need one? Do employers even read them? How do I write a good one? Applications comprised of a cover letter and CV are common sights for recruitment consultants – however, we often see applications containing only the latter as well. Every job seeker knows that they need to detail their experience in a […]
Last week we briefly touched on each of the cities of the North Island and some of their defining characteristics. One of these cities was that of Tauranga – an interesting place with a lot of history and one that has seen incredible growth both recently and over the last couple of decades. This growth […]
Let’s switch gears this week and move away from the recruitment discussion. We’re halfway through November, which means it’s not long to go until 2019 is upon us. The New Year often inspires a lot of change for people, especially job seekers looking to change their work-life situations. For many, this means relocating to a […]
When Technical Recruitment Solutions went through its re-brand earlier in the year, we made it very clear in all of our documentation and media content that we are recruitment consultants – not recruitment agents. Why did we do this, and why is it important to know the difference? Furthermore, let us share with you why […]
