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 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 Harrison is very professional, articulate and detailed in her explanations. Very friendly and prepared to give both positive and negative feed back regarding C.V. presentation.

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.

It is an absolute pleasure to talk about Yvette H. and her recruitment services. I have the opportunity to meet Yvette approximately two years ago in a recruitment process. It was a remarkable moment in my personal life and career when I was looking for a change. She gave me such good advice and recommendations to be more assertive in my search and helped me to find the ideal job. She`s highly dedicated, insightful, analytical, technical, and empathetic. She goes beyond the classical `Recruiter` role, being completely honest and transparent through the process. I highly recommend Yvette to my friends looking for a better opportunity in their careers.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Yvette for the past three years and of all the agencies I have dealt with she was the only one that followed up and kept in touch. Yvette was also successful in placing me in a great role.

Great lady and great at her job.
