We make recruitment straightforward, taking care of the process from vacancy brief through to post-placement support.

1. GET STARTED
Once you've accepted our terms, we discuss your vacancy in detail, including the role requirements, ideal candidate and expected remuneration.

2. ATTRACT
We create compelling vacancy advertising and promote your opportunity through our social media, network and relevant recruitment channels. Where additional paid advertising is required, you can choose from our Marketing Packages.

3. ASSESS
We screen and interview applicants using our Ripple recruitment protocols, assessing their experience, capability, motivation and suitability for the role.

4. SHORTLIST
We present the candidates we genuinely believe you should consider. Before interviews, you'll receive the relevant applicant documentation and our Interview Notes to help you make an informed decision.

5. APPOINT
Once you nominate your preferred candidate, we complete the necessary pre-employment checks. You then make the formal offer and provide the employment documentation.

6. PLACEMENT
Once your candidate has accepted your employment offer, we issue our Placement Service invoice in accordance with our agreed terms.

7. POST-PLACEMENT CARE
Our involvement doesn't stop when the candidate starts. Through our Post Placement Care Programme, we maintain contact with both you and your new team member to support a successful onboarding experience and sustainable tenure.

The result? A recruitment process that's structured, considered and designed to give you confidence in the person you're appointing.

Ripple works across a range of industries and doesn't limit our recruitment expertise to one sector.

While we may not have worked in your specific industry before, our recruitment experience, structured assessment process and understanding of people and business are transferable across sectors. We take the time to understand your business, your industry, the role and the experience and capability required before we begin the search.

We believe you don't need to have worked in an industry to recruit effectively within it — you need to understand what good looks like for the role and the business.

Where specialist industry knowledge is important, we'll ask the right questions, do the necessary research and work closely with you to ensure we're assessing candidates against the requirements that matter.

We use a combination of targeted advertising, network reach and proactive search to identify candidates who could be right for your role.

ACTIVE CANDIDATE SEARCH
We craft compelling vacancy advertisements designed to attract quality applicants and promote them across relevant channels. We also use our established personal and professional networks and social channels to reach active jobseekers.

PASSIVE CANDIDATE SEARCH
Not everyone who could be right for your role is actively looking for a new job. Where appropriate, we proactively identify and approach people whose experience and capabilities align with your requirements, opening conversations with candidates who may not have seen or responded to your advertisement.

EXTENDED REACH
If additional reach is required, our paid advertising options can extend your vacancy to a wider pool of active jobseekers through platforms such as SEEK and Trade Me.

Our aim isn't simply to generate applications. It's to find the people worth considering.

Our recruitment fees depend on the level of support you choose and the services you need.

We offer three ways to work with Ripple:

DO IT FOR YOU — FULL SERVICE
We manage the recruitment process from start to finish, with a placement fee applying when you appoint a candidate.

DO IT WITH YOU — PICK & MIX
Choose only the recruitment services you need and pay for the support you select. This can include advertising, candidate attraction, screening, interviewing, shortlisting, reference checking and other recruitment support.

DO IT YOURSELF — RAPIDRECRUIT365
A technology-led option for businesses that want to manage more of their own recruitment while accessing Ripple's recruitment tools, systems and support.

Additional paid advertising, such as SEEK or Trade Me campaigns, can be added where required.

We'll recommend the most appropriate option based on your role, your internal capability and the level of support you need.
