External Recruitment
We offer recruitment services for both flexible and permanent positions for technical project and IT placements.
Contract Solutions
An effective alternative to hiring permanent employees through the use of technical contractors. We can provide technical staffing solutions tailored to meet your business and technical requirements.
Key Performance Indicators
Before you can attract the right people to your organisation you need to ensure you have the right job description and relevant key performance indicators in which to measure the success of your new employee. Often organisations rush to recruit someone but don’t take the time to ensure the right measures are in place.
Renumeration Advisory
We can help ensure you are paying your current staff fair market rates. Through the combination of market intelligence, salary surveys and expertise as 'knowledge workers' across the New Zealand IT market we can put together documentation advising different ways to structure incumbents renumeration to positively re-inforce your staff and get the best out of them!
Performance Management
Performance management - we all know the term but how well do we do it? For many this term means managing poor performance and is often something people do not enjoy and therefore avoid.
Psychometric Testing
Psychometric testing is a tool that is being increasingly used by companies in their recruitment process. It can assist in both managing and identifying the right talent for your business. We can provide solutions to fit your existing recruitment process or integrate it into our overall recruitment process.
Sapien is like your favourite chair. . .
Laidback, relaxed, made to last and best of all, the right fit for you.
Sapien has a straightforward, up front philosophy to placing people – keep it simple and be up front.
Our people have years of experience in managing recruiting and contractors in the IT industry and know how frustrating it is working with multiple fee structures and charge out rates. Sapien’s fee structure is easy to understand – two tiers for permanent placement, one charge out fee for contractors.
And we have a guarantee – if a contractor we place with you does not work out in the first two weeks then you will not be charged for this time and we will endeavour to find a suitable placement. We have a fee rebate scale for permanent placements should anyone not work out in the first eight weeks but really, this is just for your peace of mind. We are confident that people we place are right for the role.
Sorry if you were expecting mug shots of our staff here – we thought you’d prefer to cut to the chase and find out the nitty gritty, up front.
Our people are valuable assets and we like to treat you as such. We will work to get you the best role for your skills and experience, and keep you in the loop in the interim.
We like to run a ‘no surprises’ approach where we are up front about the role and packages so everyone has clear expectations. This makes the process smoother and decision making faster – great for everyone!
Contractors are a special group of people and we are working on a benefits package to recognise this – keep watching this space. If you are keen to explore contracting opportunities just let us know.
Sapien has some of the smartest people in New Zealand on our books and we are able to provide clients with the skilled resource to help their business operate effectively.
We consider the culture fit as well as the skill fit and work to place people in organisations where they quickly become part of the team.
Sapien's clients are in a wide variety of industries from travel to finance to software houses and health.

Welcome to our new website - 1/2/2011
We thought it would be a good idea to spend some time re-freshing our website. Feedback showed that the site was looking a little tired and a few people commented on the styling. We hope this new site is more informative.
We are in - 2/5/2011
Yesterday we moved into another new location 13a/212 Antigua St. It is great to have some stability and a place other than home to work from. We heard yesterday that our old offices are due to be demolished by Civil Defence and that we will not be able to retrieve anything. So if you have not heard from us for a while give us a call we may not have your details anymore.
