NBR Talent is an online recruitment platform that allows employers to post jobs to a large network of specialist recruitment agencies through a single point of contact. Employers can access candidates from multiple agencies with only one briefing. There are no upfront fees - employers only pay a 12% success fee if they hire a candidate referred through the platform. NBR Talent provides access to a large pool of candidates and helps fill roles faster than going direct to agencies or using job boards alone.

TALENT AS THE SINGLE POINT OF
CONTACT AND I WANT TO ENGAGE WITH
RECRUITMENT AGENCIES DIRECTLY?
If you want to give a job exclusively to a single recruitment agency
via the NBR Talent platform, you still can. Or feel free to use a
phased approach whereby you can initially engage a single agency

you feel you need to cast the net wider. You remain in control to
tailor which approach best suits your requirements.
I HAVE AN APPLICANT TRACKING
SYSTEM. WHY DO I NEED NBR TALENT?
Think of NBR Talent as being complementary to your Applicant
Tracking System and as a single sourcing channel to access
candidates from a large network of specialist recruitment agencies.
Accurately measure and manage your recruitment agency hires
and spend through one vendor management system not multiple
recruitment agencies and vendors.
WHAT IF THE RECRUITMENT AGENCY
I WANT TO ENGAGE IS NOT ON NBR
TALENT?
If the recruitment agency you want to engage is not on NBR
Talent, you are welcome to invite them to become an approved
recruitment agency on our site so they can submit their candidates
via the NBR Talent platform. Think of our site as a cloud-based
applicant tracking and sourcing system and vendor management
system all in one.

Sir Graeme Douglas MNZM FPS, Douglas

growing pharmaceutical development and

laboratories, a specially-designed

registration dossiers in CTD format are
examples of our commitment to both the
domestic and global market.
“When you have a tight deadline
to recruit for, the ability to have a
coordinated effort between multiple
recruitment agencies is highly effective.
Our Management position was posted on
NBR Talent and the successful candidate
interviewed and on board in four weeks.
We have also forged new relationships with
recruitment consultants. A win win for all”
said Heather Jones, Group HR Manager.
“We’ve used the NBR Talent recruitment
hub to fill a range of vacancies over the
past few years and, when I need to do a
recruitment agency hire, I will go to this site
first.
“One of the things I like about NBR
Talent is that rather than having to get
on the phone to communicate a job
requirement to a number of recruitment
agencies and negotiate with them
independently, on NBR Talent there is a
ready-made network of agencies with a
diverse range of specialities to tap into.
Here you are able to get all of the agencies
you need in one spot. If we are going to
use agencies, I want them in one place.
“Using NBR Talent cuts down the time
to hire and gives you a pool of recruitment
consultants at a very cost effective price. I
like how the success fee is already sorted
out at a level that we are comfortable with.
“It also saves you a lot of time screening
through loads and loads of candidate
applications you get when posting jobs on
job boards. You get a better quality of CV’s
coming through and better job posting to
fill rates.”

“We had a key senior marketing role
in our business and we first looked to
recruit through a single agency approach,
which brought us a number of possible
candidates. Then we posted our job on NBR
Talent and were able to quickly tap into
multiple recruitment agency databases,
which returned a higher number of suitable
candidates. It took us 21 days to secure our
candidate.” Blair Stewart, General Manager
says.
“In all, Digital Island has posted five jobs
on NBR Talent and appointed a marketing
manager, national account manager and
operations specialist.”
“We have found the NBR Talent platform

roles. They enable us to search far-and-wide
to get the best person for the role.”

10. PET DOCTORS GROUP
Dr Stephen Merchant, Chief Executive
Pet Doctors
Pet Doctors Group operates a group
of 23 veterinary clinics and a number
of value-added businesses under their
own distinct brands (VetNurse+, VetFirst,
PetPost, VetSign), all supported by a
central support office. Its strategy is to
develop businesses which cater to different
aspects of the animal health industry. Pet
Doctors Group also looks to leverage its
growing number of clinics as a platform for
further technology-based solutions for the
veterinary profession, both in New Zealand
and international markets.
The Pet Doctors Group is already
New Zealand’s largest companion
animal business with over 60 vets and
approximately 250 staff and is about to
embark on a rapid growth phase.
“We were recommended to NBR Talent
by our private equity investor Pioneer
Capital who had successfully used the site
to appoint a hard-to-fill Chief Operating
Officer for one of their portfolio companies,”
Pet Doctors chief executive Dr Stephen
Merchant says.
“We had a mission-critical CFO role to
fill and were on the verge of rushing this
appointment. Through posting a CFO
contractor job on NBR Talent we were able
to appoint a high-calibre, 2-month CFO
contractor within 24 hours to help manage
the transition to a permanent CFO.”
“For the permanent CFO role we were
able to easily post the job on NBR Talent
and connect with specialist accounting
recruitment agencies within minutes.
We received an excellent shortlist of ten
passive candidates within five days which
compared favourably with the 100’s of
candidates sourced via job boards and
social media.”
“We would certainly use NBR Talent again
and would strongly recommend this to
other similar businesses.”

11. GREENTREE
Stephen Sims, Research & Development
Director, Greentree
Greentree has been building innovative
business software for more than 25
years, and in doing so has built a global
reputation for reliability, flexibility and
cost-effectiveness. We pride ourselves on
getting to know our customers through
our extensive business partner network,
understanding their needs, and providing
them with a solution that 99% of the time is
available straight out of the box.
Just as our customers are with us for
the long haul, so is our staff. Greentree
operates in a technology space where
there is a global shortage of candidates. We
recruit selectively to get the very best fit,
resulting in low turnover and a recruitment
programme primarily driven by growth.
“We have used the NBR Talent
recruitment hub twice over the last year
and have successfully found candidates
for Product Manager and Senior Developer
roles, within 14 and 9 days respectively,”
Stephen Sims, Research & Development
Director at Greentree said.
“By posting the jobs on the site, we
have access to a far wider coverage of
recruitment agency databases and a
larger candidate pool than was previously
possible through going to just a single
recruitment agency. Using a single
recruitment agency is unlikely to have as
much reach in terms of possible candidates,
particularly passive ones.”
“Being time-poor, we also found this a
more efficient experience than placing
jobs on job boards where you spend a lot
of time sifting through large numbers of
often inappropriate applicants. Through
posting the job on NBR Talent, we were
able to access pre-screened qualified
candidates where the recruitment agencies
have already done the filtering and
matching process for us. The time savings
are immense and we get a more qualified
stream of candidates.”
“NBR Talent has also recognised that
New Zealand recruitment agency fees are
typically higher than equivalent services
elsewhere. They offer a very competitive
fee payable when you successfully appoint
the candidate. This combined with the
recruitment success we have achieved
makes using the site a no brainer for me.”

Stellar Consulting Group

“Finding suitably skilled BI professionals

challenge as we continue to grow,” Travis
Barker, Consulting Partner at Stellar
Consulting Group said.
“What we like about the NBR Talent
recruitment hub is the efficiencies we
have been able to gain in our recruitment
processes. To us this is an intelligent way to
do recruitment.
“This is a way to both reduce the noise
around your recruitment process and
increase accuracy.
“Through posting our jobs on NBR Talent,
we have also been able to connect with a
better quality of candidates than we would
have traditionally seen had we posted these
on job boards or social media channels.
“The site has allowed us to build new
relationships with a wider range of
recruitment agencies.
“Now, when we want to broadcast a
job to the widest possible audience, we
can access a large network of recruitment
agencies through one platform rather than
dealing independently with just one or two
as we have previously.
“I would have no hesitation in
recommending NBR Talent to other
companies.”
