Company Health Services expands into recruitment

7 May 2007

New Generation – Health, Safety and Medical Recruitment Agency launched.

New Zealands leading total Health and Safety provider Company Health Services Limited (www.chsl.co.nz) has acquired the New Zealand license for Advanced Recruitment Solutions (www.arsrecruitment.com) and expanded to now operate in Whangarei, Auckland and Christchurch.

“Earlier this year we identified a significant gap in the market where many of the Company Health Services team were being approached by both employers and job hunters seeking practical recruitment advice. It was apparent that even though there are recruiters in the health, safety and medical sector; it was extremely difficult for clients and candidates alike to engage with recruiters who had no practical health sector or medical experience.” Says Dr Jim McLeod, Company Director.

With over twenty specialist providers including many of New Zealands leading Occupational Health Doctors and Nurses; it was a natural progression to offer recruitment services. “After an extensive business search, we are delighted that ARS Recruitment was selected. Using their powerful 9 Stage 3-Dimensional Selection process, we are confident that their recruitment methodology combined with our health sector and business experience will provide clients with the confidence that the best candidates will be secured.” Says Gavin Austin, CEO Company Health Services.

ARS Recruitment has offices in Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland and now Christchurch and Whangarei; providing clients with a comprehensive Australasian solution to secure the best possible talent for the job. “A fundamental advantage of engaging ARS Recruitment is that all recruiters have considerable business experience, they are not just recruiters but successful business owners who understand the importance of getting the recruitment process right.” Says Gavin Austin.

For Health, Safety and Medical Recruitment the lead recruiters are Dr Jim McLeod, BHB, Mb, ChB and Karen Heffey, Reg Nurse, Cert Occ.H, Dip Occ SH.

For Health sector management positions the lead recruiter is Gavin Austin, CA Dip Acc, Cert Bus. who was most recently General Manager HR and Commercial Services for Northland District Health Board.
