OUR TESTIMONIALS

What employers say about us

We employed the services of Automotive Recruitment to employ our most recent technician here at Burgers Motor Works. The process was easy and we couldn’t be happier with Pavithre and his ability and attitude.

I would have no reservations in recommending Automotive Recruitment to anyone looking for a skilled quality employee.

- Jamie McDonald | DirectorBurgers Motor Works-Auckland

Earlier this year, we engaged the services of Automotive Recruitment Ltd to fill qualified technician vacancies, that we were unable to fill within New Zealand. The process was incredibly simple, yet very professionally managed by Automotive Recruitment Ltd. ARL sought detailed information from us on the type of technician that we were after, required skill sets and experience levels. We were subsequently presented with a number of very well put together CVs and selected a short list from which we conducted web-based interviews. We selected the two technicians that best suited us and other than completing a small amount of documentation, Automotive recruitment team did the rest.

We couldn’t be happier with our two new team members and the quality of their work and their work ethic, are an example to everyone in this business. After less than one month with us, one of the lads asked if it was ok if he bought his wife and son to New Zealand to live permanently. How great is that. Thank you Automotive Recruitment Ltd.
