comments - Welcome all to a New
Year and from all of us here at ICG hope
you had a fantastic Christmas break and
enjoyed the time off if you had a holiday.
Last year was a year of change both here
and abroad and we saw history in the making
with Barack Obama winning the USA elections
and on our domestic scene John was the
key to the election! We saw a totally
new employment environment here and this
year will bring to us more changes with
the governments new 90 trial period and
it will be interesting to see what impact
if any that this will have from the 1st
of April this year. With the dawning of
2009 and the new business year hopefully
the uncertainty of last year is well behind
us and that we are on the way to a change
in economic climate. As usual the team
at ICG is ready to assist you in your
recruitment needs as we are all well rested
from last year and ready to go to work
for you!

Jane comments - Wow, where did
that all go?! After starting at ICG officially
on the 17th November 2008, I cannot believe
we are now in 2009 and another wonderful
year in front of us. For a supposed down
turn in the market and coming into a brand
new industry for me, it has turned out to
be so exhilarating and exciting and so busy.
With placing candidates right up to Christmas
and kicking of the New Year with more roles
to fill it does not appear to be ‘slow’
at all. A change of industry for me after
20 years in finance has been very refreshing
but at the same time reinforcing to me the
importance of transferable skills between
industries of which it is very prevalent
in today’s market. Being able to ‘pick
up and go’ makes life so much easier
when faced with decisions after redundancy
etc. I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting clients
and candidates so far and look forward to
meeting more over the coming months.

comments - Well what can I say
we are back into the New Year after our
well earned break, new premises and moving
forward as we do at ICG. This is a big year
for the team with our expansion into Australia.
Our aim in Christchurch is to continue to
service our clients and candidates at the
highest level and better than any other
agency in town. We will continue to keep
you all informed and well communicated in
the market and what new trends are happening
out there. We are very excited to take on
the next project, watch people walk out
our door with stunning revamped CV’s.
Listen to the squeals of our candidates
when they have just had the news “they
just got the job”, hearing the sigh
of relief when we have managed to place
a successful candidate with the employer.
Send our fantastic ICG associates along
to companies that need that extra service
in Human Resources, Performance Management
and Employment Law. So here we are –
now 2009 and good to go for January and
ready to hit the next 12 months with attitude
and professionalism.

comments - I am now entering
my third year at ICG and it has been an
amazing ride. We are moving to our third
office that I have been in, and the locations
just get better as well as bigger. To
those of you who don’t know what
I do, you may have spoken to me on the
phone or had an email from me as well.
I perform most of the administration tasks
here and these include revamping your
CV for you as well as confirming your
appointments. I talk with you about the
roles that we have on as well as talking
to you as clients of ours to make the
process as easy as possible for you to
see our candidates.
