Recruitment FAQ
Can't we recruit best in-house without external help?
Recruitment is a specialised skill, much like your trade or profession. As an experienced recruiter, The Rightstaff adds value by saving time and ensuring you secure the best candidates who fit your business needs, often more efficiently than in-house recruitment teams.
Is external recruitment help too costly?
It may seem costly at first look, however, it is a small investment in making the right hire – especially when compared to the cost of getting it wrong. Studies show the cost of hiring the wrong person far outweighs the price of engaging professional services. In the Tauranga area, The Rightstaff’s rates compare very favourably and we offer cost-effective options that deliver exceptional results!
Isn’t outsourced recruitment only for large businesses?
Outsourced recruitment works especially well for smaller and medium-sized businesses, where the right hire is key and no dedicated specialised HR resource is available. If you’re an employer in the Tauranga area, we can save you time, reduce hiring risks, and ensure you find the right talent without overstretching internal resources.
Are recruiters uncertain and high-cost?
While some other recruiting agencies charge 15,000 -25,000$ for an appointment, our service caters to businesses of all sizes, offering tailored solutions with proven results at a fraction of that. With 20+ years of overseas and local expertise, we ensure certainty by following proven strategies and understanding market demands.
Can't our administrator handle recruitment?
Recruitment isn’t just another task—it’s a specialist skillset building on years of training and experience, while also requiring knowledge of the current job market and recruitment tools. A skilled recruiter ensures critical steps, like candidate attraction, selection and assessment, are executed flawlessly.
Is it hard to find good people?
Most individuals can be great employees. The key is identifying the right fit and then creating a work environment that lets them perform at their best.
Can our managers handle recruitment simply by placing ads?
Recruitment involves a lot more than posting an ad and interviewing. It requires, among many other things, analysing job fit, assessing culture compatibility and ensuring longevity of the new employee, especially for executive appointments and other key roles. All skills the Rightstaff brings to the table.
Is recruitment simple enough for anyone?
Recruitment is complex, involving hundreds of decisions that can make or break the process. For any specialised or management role, you’ll want a professional recruiter to mitigate risks and maximise success.
Isn't recruitment always a gamble?
Recruitment becomes systematic when broken into proven steps. Our structured approach eliminates guesswork, ensuring better hiring outcomes.

Are Personality Profiles reliable?
There are many different profiles, and several of these have shown good reliability. However, some cheap or free online tests can be unreliable or even misleading. Our Behavioural Profiling Tool, Extended DISC, from HR Profiling Solutions, undergoes regular validation testing and has proven astonishingly accurate over 20+years.
What makes DISC profiling workshops effective?
Our DISC workshops are not one-size-fits-all. They’re tailored to address your team’s specific dynamics, improving communication, collaboration, and overall engagement. Participants say they enjoy the workshops a great lot and they leave with actionable insights that improve their productivity and cooperation with clients, colleagues and managers.
Is Cognitive Testing useful?
For any executive, management or other key position, cognitive testing adds a valuable reference point in the recruitment process. It will give you a good indication of your candidates reasoning skills and the contribution they will make in your business.
How does DISC profiling support recruitment and HR?
DISC profiling helps us identify candidates who align with your team’s culture and requirements, ensuring not only a skill fit but a personality and values fit. For HR, it provides a framework to manage team dynamics and resolve conflicts effectively.
