An old’un, but a good’un

Auckland Recruitment Office Occupied by Protesters

Recruiters tend to get a lot of stick from those outside the industry. Well we actually like to give stick within the industry too, come to think of it. We are a great big bunch of stick givers. Our industry is a lightning rod for opprobrium and discontent, given that…
