My perspective was from a candidate employee. Sue was absolutely fantastic to deal with and was both professional and warm. She has a deep knowledge of my industry, which when combined with her recruitment expertise allowed for great insights to help me navigate the opportunity. She was readily available, proactive with communications, and made sure I had all the information and assistance I might need. I felt very well looked after, and authentically represented through the recruitment process. My application was ultimately successful, and I was offered the position. I would highly recommend Sue to both employees and employers looking for assistance in recruiting. Thanks Sue!Posted on Paul Scanlon2025-08-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I received great communication from Sue @Ryan.

I had an outstanding experience with Ryan Recruitment in Christchurch, and I can’t speak highly enough of Gabby Rush. From our very first conversation, Gabby took the time to understand my background, goals, and what I was truly looking for in a role. Thanks to her insight and dedication, she matched me with a position that was a perfect fit. The role turned out to be exactly what I needed — both professionally and personally — and I’m thrilled to say it recently transitioned into a permanent position. Gabby was supportive, communicative, and genuinely invested in my success throughout the process. If you’re looking for a recruitment agency that truly listens and delivers, I highly recommend Ryan Recruitment and Gabby Rush in particular. She made the whole experience smooth, positive, and ultimately life-changing
