  • Skilled Labourer.
  • Apprentices.

We have a client new to Central Otago that is about to begin construction in a key site in Cromwell.   There are positions available for experienced hammerhands for this ongoing project.  Call 0272 416619 for further information.

We have positions for a qualified stone mason and a labourer (2 positions) for immediate start.   If you have a stonemasons ticket or are handy with a hammer give Annabel a call 0272 416619.

 Loving some down time at Karitane, the home of the great Dr Frederick Truby-King, founder of Plunket New Zealand.  Needless to say all our babies, all five of them - although they are no longer babies - were Plunket babies, three of which are with us this weekend.

Are you the outdoorsy, adventurous type?  Consider yourself a gnarly individual? Well have we got the thing for you. We have several positions for some seriously interesting work above the snow line at a well respected alpine facility near Wanaka.  The work is hard, hours long, views spectacular & you'll be working with some seriously cool people.  But we need to know NOW, this is for immediate start - after the obligatory Health & Safety Induction of course.  So if you've got a good set of snow boots (we choose Coronet) and have the right attitude then get in touch with Annabel TODAY 0272 416619.

Well after nearly 2 years in operation we are finally facing up to the fact we can't be all things to all people so we're putting out the feelers for a Temp Consultant to help keep our ever expanding family of workers employed, happy and above all safe from harm.   We need an experienced professional who has proven ability to manage our increasingly busy temp desk.  The role will involve ensuring that our clients needs and the needs of our expanding team of workers are not only met but exceeded.  An ability to bake awesome scones, know what a decent coffee looks like, can handle a vehicle, herd cats & tame sharks would be an advantage.  This is not a 9-5 job as we say clocking off is not our culture so it will involve some weekend and occasional night work to keep the ship running smoothly.   We're flexible in terms of tenure and hours and we're happy to entertain someone either living in Wanaka or Cromwell as the position will move between our favourite two wee towns in Central.  So if you think you're up for the challenge, enjoy working in a flexible, stimulating, fun environment give Annabel a call on 0272 416619 for a Position Description.

​Hi, I'm Annabel Blaikie, principal here at Blaikie Recruitment.  I've been involved in the recruitment sector since way back in the early 1990s when I started Select Personnel in Dunedin.  After moving on from there and graduating with a Postgraduate Diploma in Marketing from Otago University and raising my family, I've come full circle back to  recruitment.  I am passionate about helping people find temporary and permanent employment in a region that I love and adore: Central Otago.  I'm true a southern girl at heart having been brought up on the family farm in South Otago where my father taught me that if you are to succeed as a leader in life, you have to work harder, smarter, and longer than the rest of the team.  This ethic is reflected in our mantra "Clocking Off is Not Our Culture," and we mean it.  While our offices may not always be manned (now there's a term that needs fixing) my phone is on 24/7 to answer queries, sort out issues, or to simply providing guidance or a shoulder to lean on.
