Why employers use Placed Partners

Built for sites, not spreadsheets.

Specialist corridor

We work one lane: NZ → Australia. We're not a generalist agency dabbling in trades.

Pre-vetted candidates

We've already had the relocation conversation. We know who's serious and who isn't.

Speed to shortlist

14-day average from brief to qualified candidates in your inbox.

Replacement guarantee

12-month written guarantee. If a placement walks, we replace at no cost.

Fixed transparent fees

One fee, milestone payment. No retainer games, no surprise invoices.

Operator-to-operator

You'll talk to someone who's been on a site, not a recruitment account manager.
