What Our Client Says
I first met Larry in October 2012 while researching opportunities to
work overseas. While our first contact was via email, we soon spoke by phone and then had the
opportunity to meet in person. As a single female In her 50's, it was extremely important for
me to feel comfortable with and trust the advice of a recruiter paving the way for me to make
a move 7500 miles away from home and to a different hemisphere. It did not take long for me to
ask Larry, "what don't you do?" From our first contact, Larry advised me every step of the way
and I do not recall a piece of advice, warning, recommendation, or suggestion that was not 100%
accurate. Everything he prepared me for made my journey a smooth transition and my experience
life changing. I have no idea how I would have navigated the ins and outs of moving to another
country without his help. Larry was always there for my questions and always had the answers.
He kept me focused and informed about each and every process from acquiring my credentials
overseas to advising me on visas. He stepped in and intervened on my behalf to facilitate
an employment interview that otherwise may have cost me the job. He remained in communication
with me throughout my stay overseas and welcomed feedback regarding my experience to ensure his
success recruiting other candidates in the future. I believe Larry to be a very gifted recruiter
and his professionalism is of the highest quality. I would not hesitate to recommend him to
anyone interested in pursuing overseas work in New Zealand.
Larry is a rare find in that he provides excellent professional service as a recruiter with the added personal touch. His attention to detail as well as his wide knowledge base is a great asset to this role. I have enjoyed his advice and strategic discussions with him and if you are seeking work in NZ either as someone within NZ or as someone who is looking at moving here from overseas, then Larry is someone who can help.
