About Yvette

A technical recruitment consultant with a difference.

As a technical recruitment consultant, I love helping companies successfully recruit highly skilled ‘technical’ people.

I am not merely matching buzzwords, but invest time to learn how your business works and the specifics of each role. I gain enormous satisfaction knowing I have helped make a difference to your business!

More than two decades in this field has shown me that a successful outcome for companies and candidates arises from connecting the dots between the hiring company needs, what the candidate has to offer, and their requirements.

This will include:

  • Professional skills and education
  • Experience
  • Personal attributes, attitudes and behaviours
  • Practical requirements: remuneration and location
  • Motivation

Get all of those five elements right and we have found the right person for the right job.

What is everyone else saying?

Here are some comments from happy customers and candidates.

Yvette is an outstanding recruiter. I trust her judgement implicitly and her network of candidates is second to none.

Client
Caro

Yvette has quite literally gone the extra mile for me. She has applied her vast experience in recruiting to sift out the very essence of who I am and what qualities would best suit both her clients' needs and my aspirations. Not one to stand on ceremony, she is efficient and honest in her appraisal of my capabilities. This has given me great confidence that she can place me in a role that I will thrive in.

Candidate
Bradly

Yvette has been fantastic. She has clearly assessed my experience and skill set to judge if further involvement in the interview process is appropriate and at the same time has supplied me with all I need to present myself and my skill set clearly to the client.

Yvette demonstrated exceptional dedication, insightfulness, analytical skill, technical proficiency, and empathy in my recruitment process. She definitely exceeds the traditional expectations of a 'Recruiter,' consistently maintaining honesty and transparency throughout the entire process. I'm extremely thankful that our paths crossed. I highly recommend Yvette Harrison as a recruiter for her excellent guidance and expertise.

I have met and known Yvette. H for quite some time, and I have seen and experienced quite a few recruitment agencies/agents over my 15 years of career in the NZ Food industry --- I am happy and confident to say that Yvette Harrison is certainly one of the best in this area, and have no hesitation to recommend to my friends or anyone who are looking for their next move.
