TRANSCRIPTION:

Max: Hi. Today you’re going to learn some tips and tricks on how to find and hire awesome talents for your small business.

Alex: We have 25 years of experience in helping people to export or import goods in and out of New Zealand. We are happy to share our insider views about the process of hiring people and getting new personnel on board.

We are a team of 9 people. Some of us work here in Auckland while others help us to grow overseas.

#1. HIRING PROCESS

Max: To find motivated stuff during the hiring process, we ask some behavioural questions, and then look for their reactions.

We try to find out how they behaved in the past in different situations. It’s very important to figure out if the person can handle challenging tasks – it will tell you if it’s a good fit or not.

Alex: It’s also helpful for a candidate to check our website and research a thing or two about our company.

#2. HIRING TECHNIQUES

Max: We hired some of our stuff through word of mouth because it’s important to get recommendations from people you trust.

At the same time, we are excited that there is a New Zealand-based modern software like TalentHub. Personally, I love cutting-edge technologies, staff and systems that simplify my life and save my time.

Alex: We’ve tried it all. We’ve asked professionals to help us hire people, and they sat with us through every single interview.

Then we’ve done this process ourselves and went through every single CV. But, as Max said, nothing worked better than software – it’s the 21st century.

#3. ASSESSING CANDIDATES

Alex: We also pay attention to the candidates’ willingness to be open-minded, to try new tasks within our company. We’re still quite small; chances are the person will be trying a lot of different things. Ideally, we would like to see that the person is willing to do that.

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
