Human Team Member
The right person, recruited properly — and set up to stay.
When the work needs a human, we design the role, source the right people locally and internationally, and match on evidence rather than gut feel. You make every hiring decision. Candidates are never charged — employers pay recruitment costs.
It starts with the role, not the CV pile
Most hiring goes wrong before the first interview. We define what the role must actually achieve, then recruit against that.
Role design
We shape the role around the outcomes it needs to deliver and the capabilities that genuinely matter — so the search is aimed at the right target and candidates know what success looks like.
Evidence-led from the start
Every step produces evidence you can compare. AI supports the gathering and organising; people make the judgements and the final call.
Sourcing locally and internationally
We look in New Zealand first and, where a role genuinely cannot be filled locally, we can extend the search overseas.
Local sourcing
We reach candidates already in New Zealand through the free 247 Talent Network, targeted campaigns and direct approach — matched to the role you have designed.
International sourcing
Where a role genuinely cannot be filled locally, we can extend the search internationally. We refer any immigration questions to authorised immigration specialists and never promise sponsorship or visas.
247 Staff does not provide immigration advice and does not promise sponsorship or visas. Immigration matters are referred to authorised immigration specialists.
How a Role Launch works
A structured process from role design to a smooth start — with your decision at the centre.
Role design
We start by defining the outcomes the role must deliver, the must-have capabilities and the realities of your team — so we are recruiting for the right thing from day one.
Sourcing
We attract candidates locally and, where needed, internationally, drawing on the free 247 Talent Network and targeted campaigns.
WorkFit matching
We assess capability and fit against the role using structured, evidence-led WorkFit matching — AI supports the evidence gathering; people interpret it.
Structured shortlisting
You receive a clear, comparable shortlist with the evidence behind each person, not a stack of unscreened CVs. Candidates consent before we present them to you.
Employer selection
You interview and choose. Every hiring decision is yours — AI never decides who is employed.
Onboarding
We support a smooth start so your new team member is set up to contribute quickly and stay.
Humans decide who gets hired
Our matching gives you comparable, well-evidenced options. The employment decision is always yours.
- You interview and select — AI never decides who is employed.
- Candidates give consent before their profile is presented to you.
- Shortlists are structured and comparable, backed by real evidence.
- We support onboarding so a good hire becomes a lasting one.
Pricing
Pricing linked to retention, not just placement
We want the people we place to stay and succeed, so our pricing is built around retention rather than a one-off fee for a warm body. Employers pay recruitment costs; candidates are never charged for jobs, placement or recruitment.
- 7.5% of agreed annual base salary, paid in three equal 2.5% instalments — at commencement, six months and twelve months, with no minimum fee.
- Two-thirds of the fee is earned only if the person is still with you at six and twelve months.
- A Role Launch fee covers role design up front and is credited against the commencement instalment.
- Candidates pay nothing — ever — for jobs, placement or recruitment.
Approval placeholder: Fees are calculated on base salary for contracted hours, so smaller and part-time roles cost less. The New Zealand Role Launch amount is confirmed on approval and never copied from Australian pricing. See the pricing page for detail.
