Our business had been servicing New Zealander's since 1998, we wanted to re-brand the company and give back to the community in areas that not only affect us but also our clients and candidates.Venturing into the "temporary placement" market in 2011 gave our clients another option to help grow their business, thus giving us the ability to offer them the full package.With our permanent market we offered 2 angles, one where we helped a client fill their vacancy and worked with them in their business to ensure the right candidate is placed for them to maximise their investment. The second where we work with candidates to "market" them to our client base to give them an opportunity to explore other areas they might not have explored previously.Our goal in the market was to ensure our client's and candidates had a memorable experience utilizing our services and they continued to see us as part of their workforce to help aid them in all HR related areas.Our aim was to be a fun, upbeat business who believed in providing exceptional service and who enjoyed "getting our hands dirty" to fill roles all across New Zealand.Our biggest goal - giving our clients and candidates the tools to help"unlock their potential".

In charge of the overall running of the branch, including marketing, account management, financial reporting and candidate management.I was employed by Adecco to manage the Hamilton branch and take it to new heights.

Within the TWL group I worked in a few different branches in a number of roles as promotions arose.

Two years later I transferred to The Hamilton Warehouse branch managing a team first on days and then on nights (huge challenge) but loved it. Two years later I transferred back to Warehouse Stationery in an ASM (Assistant Store Manager) role.After 5 years with the group I left and came back 6 months later opening one of the largest Warehouse stores in New Zealand, Sylvia Park. I was in charge of all in store HR related issues including disciplinaries, recruitment and managing the largest team in the store.I eventually moved back to the Waikato and at this point ended my time with The Warehouse Group.
