Sunstone - not just an IT recruitment agency

After working in a number of IT recruitment agencies here & in the UK the one thing I saw missing was having HR support within an IT recruitment agency.

I was lucky that early in my career I worked out I love getting people jobs and helping different companies & organisations find their new team member is super satisfying too. So nearly 10 years ago the goal was to start an IT recruitment agency that could deal with any people issue. Easier said than done as HR is a completely different skill set than IT recruiting.

So it was lucky when I met Steph, who also has a psychology background but who is an HR generalist who’s worked in many senior leadership roles for companies both private & public sector in NZ & UK and as they say the rest is history….

At Sunstone we meet every candidate and don’t just run a process for you, we’re out & about in the tech industry at meet-ups, seminars and conferences. We love learning and meeting people - keeping up to date with latest technologies and new ways of doing things, which is all part of the fun.

Some assignments for specialist software & IT candidates can take months and we’re in IT (see what I did there ;-) for the long haul and will partner with you, to bring new ideas and solutions to help get you the right outcome - not just run a process. The accompanied HR support we can offer is super helpful with any issues that you may need help on - employment law ie contracts, immigration, accreditation, job sizing etc we can help with the trickier stuff behind the scenes to add real value for you.
