Follow-up is where relationships are won or lost.
I'm Allan Paterson, and I've spent more than 40 years in B2B sales across New Zealand and Australia: territory management, account management and business development. If that career taught me one thing, it's that deals rarely fall over in the first meeting. They fall over in the follow-up that didn't happen.
Recruitment is the same, only faster and more personal. Recruiters are some of the hardest-working people in business, juggling clients, candidates and targets all at once. When the week gets busy, the first thing to slip is the update to the candidate who's waiting to hear back. Nobody means for it to happen, but the candidate notices, and so does the placement fee when they accept another offer.
RecruitBot NZ exists to take the remembering and the first draft off your recruiters' plates, while keeping a real person in charge of every message. It's built here in Christchurch, for the way New Zealand agencies work, with our privacy and messaging laws in mind from day one.
What we believe
- People first. Automation should give recruiters more time for real conversations, not replace them.
- Every candidate deserves an answer. Including the ones who didn't get the job.
- Plain dealing. Clear pricing, no lock-in contracts, and straight answers.
Where we're at
We're onboarding a small group of founding agencies who get hands-on setup and a real say in what we build next. If that sounds like you, I'd love to talk.
