Are you ready to transition from university into your professional career, but unsure what employers are truly looking for in today's market? Join us for this special edition of the HRNZxAUT Student Café Connect. While many human resources events focus on internal workplace operations, this session offers a unique, external look at the job market through the lens of agency recruitment. We are thrilled to host Tara Fisher, the Founding Director and Principal Consultant at Need Recruitment. Instead of hearing from an HR generalist, you will get exclusive insights directly from a top-tier industry recruiter who spends every-day matching candidates with New Zealand’s leading organisations. Grab a coffee, connect with your peers, and discover exactly how to position yourself as a standout candidate before you graduate.
