say about us.

Peter is someone I have gone to on three separate occasions as I have looked to advance my career, including through to my current role as a Partner in a national consultancy firm. He is relationship led, down to earth and has extensive market knowledge.

Advisory Services Partner, National Accountancy Practice

We recently engaged Fluid on role that was particularly challenging and had proven hard to fill using other strategies. From the outset Marlene was able to identify and engage with our requirements, provide value and add a point of difference.

Human Resources Advisor, National Wholesalers

Dunedin

I’ve worked with Marlene as both a candidate and a client and have established a positive working relationship with her. The line of communication was always open during the process and she always understood exactly what we were looking for.

Business Administrator, Accountancy Practice

Dunedin

We have a longstanding relationship with Fluid Recruitment built on the hiring of a Director into the business ten years ago. They do the little things well, stay in touch, think differently, and are the ultimate professionals.

Chief Operating Officer, National Advisory Practice

Dunedin

I have been very impressed with the time taken to understand our needs along with researching the integral aspects of our various roles, to ensure that the placement is a successful one. The calibre referred to us is of a really high standard.

Workflow Manager, National Energy Provider

Dunedin

I had a great experience with Fluid. James Mason really helped in my application and I eventually got the job which I wouldn’t have been able to do without the effort and time he put in to helping me through the process. I would recommend to anyone.

Senior Accountant, CA Practice

Waikato

James was very helpful. He listened to me and understood what I was trying to achieve. He made the recruitment process easy for me. The follow-up phone calls show they care about their candidates. Highly recommended.

Commercial Analyst, Global Manufacturer

Hamilton

I highly recommend James Mason for his professional & excellent service. He showed how he cares, supports and understand jobseekers like me. He always make sure that things are on track & always gives you positive advice. Very efficient & genuine.

Payroll Manager, National Manufacturer

Hamilton

We've used Fluid for a few years now in the recruitment of a number of our team over this time. James tunes in well to our needs, he has taken the time to understand our business, what makes us tick and what is important to us.

Director, Accounting Firm

Wellington

I have worked with James for the last three years and he has delivered time and again excellent candidates for our business. I would have no hesitation in recommending his recruitment services and he is the first on my list whenever I have a need.

Director, National CA Firm
