Testimonials

"In New Zealand, who you know often matters more than what you know. Magnetic changed that for me."

After arriving with ten years of international experience, I kept getting rejection letters for jobs I was perfect for. That's when Magnetic stepped in. They took the time to meet me, understand my capabilities, and review my background. Within a week, I had an interview and started working soon after. They've even helped other international candidates I've referred to them.

Dr. Bahador Sabet

Structural Health Monitoring Specialist

"I wasn't even looking for a change, but Magnetic's opportunity was too good to pass up."

I connected with Magnetic through a LinkedIn job post, and from day one, their communication and follow-up was impeccable. Though I wasn't actively seeking a change, they delivered a package that offered a significant step up in my career and an exciting new adventure. The new role has been a gratifying challenge with promising long-term prospects.

Tom Bryant

Sales Manager

"After placing me in a great HR role, they found my partner a position too."

Troy helped me secure a new role when returning to NZ after a significant period in Western Australia. When I asked if they could help my partner find a Health & Safety position, within weeks they had uncovered several options. Since then, I've worked closely with them as a strategic recruitment partner across various functions. With their deep understanding of our business, we can lean on Magnetic to deliver.

Sue Caswell

HR Manager

"From both sides of the recruitment process, I've seen Magnetic's expertise make the difference."

I've worked with the Magnetic team as both a candidate and an employer. They're down to earth, highly professional, and excellent communicators. Their deep understanding of technical trade management and executive appointments, along with their strong grasp of industry requirements, ensures they consistently deliver great results. Whether you're seeking your next opportunity or top-tier talent solutions, they're a trusted partner in recruitment.

Wayne Earle

Engineering & Construction Professional

"Debbie made the process smooth and stress-free. Her communication was clear, consistent, and always professional"

I had a genuinely great experience with Magnetic Recruitment. From the very first interaction, Debbie made the process smooth and stress-free. Her communication was clear, consistent, and always professional, which gave me real confidence in the journey. What stood out most was how approachable and supportive she was, I felt listened to and well looked after every step of the way. I’m really grateful for the care and attention she gave, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Magnetic Recruitment to anyone looking for a trustworthy and efficient recruitment service.

Michelle Warren

Health & Safety Manager

"The assistance and support during the recruitment process was great."

Kat from Magnetic Recruitment has hugely been instrumental in landing my current job. The assistance and support during the recruitment process was great. As well as, great feed back from my employer.

Richmond Sollano

Project Engineer

"The whole team operates with a perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness, which made the journey feel supportive and stress-free."

From our very first interaction, Troy was incredibly personable and easy to connect with. He showed a genuine interest in my career history and skills, taking the time to truly understand my experience rather than just trying to fill a role. Throughout the entire process, the communication was excellent; I was kept well-informed and updated at every stage. The whole team operates with a perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness, which made the journey feel supportive and stress-free. What really set Troy apart was the practical advice and insight he offered. He provided invaluable details about the company I was applying for, which helped me feel confident and well-prepared for the interviews. His support extended right through to completing my reference checks, which he handled with exceptional care. It's a testament to his approach that both of my referees independently commented on how impressed they were with his professional and personable manner. That personal touch makes all the difference, and I couldn't recommend Magnetic Recruitment and Troy more highly.
