What is my claim to fame?

In 2001 I formed BUILDING INDUSTRY RECRUITMENT as the original Specialist Agency for the SME's who are the suppliers, distributors and manufacturers in NZ.

I am very passionate about the Sales Profession and Business Growth with a sense of excellence... and my approach to recruitment is to utilise my Database and industry connections alongside an active search & selection process to find the best TALENT available at any given time.

"After 10 years recruiting as a specialist I can add value to the process as I have an uncanny knack of getting the right fit for each position and have a 95% success strike rate for longevity. "

Meeting personally onsite with the Client is the only way forward to achieve a true understanding of any company's culture and needs.

Today, a great many of my current clients are in fact from an ongoing 15 year relationship derived from my own Sales Performance when I was selling the www.ralenti.co.nz information solution for Architects and Specifiers over a period of six years.

I have significant in-depth knowledge of most of New Zealand's building industry suppliers and the talent (Good & not so Good) that move within this industry...

"Joanne was used to find several top quality pro-active Business Development staff for a client of mine. Her outstanding success in finding several top candidates and weeding out the many 'others' saved the client a significant amount of time and hassle. Due to the outstanding quality of the people she found together with their new Sales and Marketing Manager her unique guarantee hasn't ever been required...
Joanne is a very competent businessperson who takes a seemingly complicated drawn out process and makes it easy and great value for her client. Her analysis of the culture and role and quality matching of the individual with a true hands-on effort is to be applauded. Please feel free to contact me for a verbal reference or more details.

I specialise in finding professional people with building industry knowledge who can help your business on a contract basis.

• For a variety of reasons it is often a better option for your company to have short term assistance rather than appointing a permanent employee.
   
• You might need to cover current employees for maternity leave, holidays or sickness.
   
• You may have seasonal peaks in activity or you could need specific expertise for a special project or product launch.
   
• As the business owner you may even want an acting general manager to take the reins while you have a break.

I have over 20 years building industry experience in management roles for major companies such as Winstone Group, Wilkins & Davies Construction, James Hardie, Golden Bay Cement and Firth Industries. These roles mainly involved marketing and business development. In recent years I have run my own business.

My qualifications include a Bachelor of Management Studies (Waikato) and a Post Graduate Diploma in Business (Auckland). I have strong communication skills on a one-to-one level or as a presenter. I am also Accredited in public relations by the Public Relations Institute of New Zealand.

I have a practical, hands-on approach to understanding what you need to add value to your operation and identifying professional contractors who will help you achieve it.
