“We used the services of Greenstone Recruitment for the first time this spring to fill a position in our sharemilking business. The effort Graydon put into ensuring that the expectations of all parties were clear and understood was a cornerstone in the process of establishing a successful employer - employee relationship going forward.
Graydon's selection criteria for employees is both thorough and transparent with reports of all reference checks available to prospective employers.
His continued contact with both parties shows a genuine interest in the success of the placement of employees.
We would happily use his services again.”

“Greenstone Recruitment has made our whole experience a positive one. Their encouragement and knowledge have established a successful employer-employee relationship. We will highly recommend anyone to use Greenstone Recruitment. From day one instructions were clear and everything well organized, because of that and the fact that we chose to follow their instructions to the letter we received a 3 year working permit and visa. Thank you Vanessa and Graydon.”

“We were a little reluctant to use Greenstone Recruitment at first because of the price, but when we compared it with the cost of advertising, the time fielding phone calls (which were usually when you were in the middle of milking or getting kids to bed) then interviewing, reference checking etc, Greenstone made it easy and came up with a suitable person in a very short time frame. We found Greenstone recruitment to be very professional and offers a great service. Thank you for your help.”

“To pack your belongings in a container and leave the familiarity of home, is not easy. However, by making use of a reputable recruitment company like Greenstone, this transition has been much easier than I anticipated. On his visit to South Africa, Graydon made sure that we understand exactly what we were letting ourselves in for and what to expect in New Zealand. He also established what our needs and expectations were so that he could make an informed decision as to our employment. Graydon was also always very helpful in answering all our questions and informing us as to all the necessary paperwork.
On arrival in Auckland, Graydon was there to meet me and Vanessa helped me to get all the necessities .They have kept in touch and made an effort to put me in contact with other South Africans.
I can strongly recommend anyone who considers a new future in NZ and want a reliable and professional service, to contact Greenstone Recruitment.”

“At our first interview, Greenstone Recruitment clearly explained the situation in New Zealand and specifically the hardships, to make sure one knows what to expect. Arriving here, Graydon and Vanessa were very helpful in getting me settled.
The work was hard but I personally expected it to be worse. Calving season is tough, but from December onwards it gets better and better. Important for new comers is that you should come in the right frame of mind. Be prepared to work hard, long hours and you shall succeed.
Thanks to Graydon & Vanessa for all their help. Good luck to those that wish to come to NZ - it is worthwhile. Make sure you get our telephone numbers that we can communicate.”

I'm very confident to recommend Greenstone Recruitment. To me, it's like a dream has come true in my career. I'm proud to say that after my job in New Zealand, I'll be confident to go back to South Africa with a large amount of experience and knowledge… I intend to start my own farming enterprise through the help from Greenstone Recruitment - thanks a lot for your support, it is really appreciated.”

“If you are looking for a new adventure and starting a new life, New Zealand is the place. We've been working for 5 months now in NZ in the dairy industry, and we are really happy. Greenstone Recruitment were helpful from day one (Graydon made a trip to South Africa to personally meet us for a interview) they gave us all the "info" we needed to know about the new country and their culture that we are going to take on, and the structure of the New Zealand dairy industry.
Everything was explained in detail, so all your questions will be answered and no empty promises. Greenstone gave us all the negative and positive points we needed to know. Assisting us with our visa applications, stayed in contact all the way, till the day you meet at the airport in Auckland, always nice to see a familiar face when you land in a foreign country. Greenstone put us in contact with other South Africans and have made regular calls and visits since we started working.
Greenstone have been helpful with our " big move". They are honest and show personal care for you as a fellow South African. We highly recommend Greenstone Recruitment to other applicants.”

“In recent years we have experienced problems sourcing quality labour for our 370 cow dairy farm in Gordonton, Waikato. We approached Greenstone Recruitment, to fill our Assistant Herd Manager position. We felt Greenstone took the time to understand our business and the type of person we were looking for. Despite some delays in our South African candidate arriving in New Zealand, Greenstone communicated with us regularly and made sure we were informed of our candidate's progress. We have been very satisfied with our worker and will gladly recommend Greenstone Recruitment to other farmers looking for a solution to their labour problems.”

“As a South African looking to move to New Zealand to work in the Dairy Industry, I was unsure of what I was getting myself into! From the first interview in South Africa, Greenstone Recruitment has helped me each step of the way. They explained the structure of the New Zealand dairy industry and the challenges our family would face fitting in to a new country. They assisted me in choosing a suitable employer and helped me with my work visa application. Graydon and Vanessa were very helpful in setting me up at my new accommodation by assisting me in getting all the necessary household goods needed for a first time arrival in New Zealand. They have also put me in touch with other South Africans in our area, and popped in often to see me since I started work. I highly recommend Greenstone Recruitment to other applicants. They have been genuinely helpful, honest and professional in their dealings. What awaited me in New Zealand was truly what was told to me in our South African dealings. Thanks for a great service!”
