ABOUT SUCCESS GROUP

Welcome to The Success Group, your trusted partner in complete recruitment and HR support services. 

The Success Group is a New Zealand owned and operated company established in Hamilton in 1998. Since then, we have grown our talented team of specialists and expanded to offer our services nationwide.

We recognise that recruitment, HR and Health & Safety can be overwhelming for many business owners, especially with the constantly evolving legislative landscape in New Zealand. Whether you run a construction company, IT firm, restaurant or any other business, we understand that your passion lies in what you do, not in HR or Health & Safety complexities.

At The Success Group, our team of HR Support Specialists bridge the gap by offering expert support at a fraction of the cost of hiring internal HR and Health & Safety professionals. Our goal is to ensure that you remain compliant and up to date with regulations while you focus on growing and running your business.

We offer a full recruitment package for both Permanent Placements and Temporary Assignments. Negotiation of Employment Contracts, advice with career options or information on current pay rates. If it relates to the area of work, jobs, careers, Human Resources, or employment in New Zealand, then the team at The Success Group are ready to help you.

Our team of experienced specialist recruiters can also assist job seekers in securing rewarding careers that align with your skills, experience, and aspirations. We offer personalised support throughout the job search process, from resume optimisation and interview preparation to connecting you with reputable employers.
