You can now find us at:

📍 Building 7, 15 Accent Drive, Flat Bush, Auckland

We’ve made some great memories at Harris Road, but we’re pretty excited about the move and what’s ahead.

If you’re:

☕ Or just nearby and want to pop in and say hi

Come and visit the team.

Same APS.
Same local support.
Just a new address.

See you in Flat Bush!

🌱 SPRING IS HERE. AND THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET BUSY.

Better weather means civil and construction projects start moving.

Manufacturers start preparing for seasonal demand.

Warehouses and logistics teams start looking towards the end-of-year rush.

And good workers start getting snapped up.

APS has been doing this for 39 years, so we've seen the cycle plenty of times.

The best time to talk about extra people isn't when you're already short.

It's before.

Need more people this spring or summer?

Talk to APS.

THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE LOVE MOST ABOUT RECRUITMENT. 👷‍♂️🚜🏭📦

No two days are quite the same.

One day we’re visiting a construction or civil site.

The next we could be in a warehouse, a manufacturing operation, a logistics hub or somewhere completely different.

We get to work with an incredible range of businesses, meet great people and help candidates find opportunities across all kinds of roles and locations.

And that’s something we feel pretty lucky about.

But wherever we go, the most important part stays the same:

building relationships.

🤝 Getting to know our clients
👷 Understanding the roles properly
📍 Seeing the work environment firsthand
💬 Staying connected with our candidates
🏗️ Learning how each operation really works

Because when you understand the people and the workplace, you can make better recruitment decisions.

We’re proud to be out there, meeting the people behind New Zealand businesses and helping connect them with people who can make a real difference.

Different sites. Different jobs. Great people everywhere.

OUT OF THE OFFICE AND INTO THE COMMUNITY. 👋

This is where some of the best conversations happen.

Our Advanced Personnel team has been out visiting clients, catching up with people and spending time in the communities we support.

No hard sell.

Just good conversations, stronger relationships and a better understanding of what’s happening in our clients’ businesses.

Because when things get busy, it helps to already know:

🤝 Who you’re working with
👷 What their operation looks like
📍 What’s happening locally
⚙️ Where the pressure points are
💬 How you can actually help

For us, recruitment is about more than filling jobs.

It’s about being present, staying connected and building relationships that last.

That’s Advanced Personnel

National reach. Local accountability.

24/08/2026

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO GET OUT FROM BEHIND THE DESK. 👷‍♀️

And when the site looks like this, you realise just how important that is!

At Advanced Personnel, site visits aren't just about ticking a box.

They're about seeing firsthand where our people work, understanding the environment they're stepping into and staying connected with both our workers and clients.

Because there's a big difference between reading a job description and actually understanding the job.

We want to know:

👷 What our people experience every day
⛑️ What the safety expectations look like in practice
🏗️ How the operation actually works
🤝 How we can better support our workers and clients

After 39 years in recruitment, one thing hasn't changed:

Good relationships are built by showing up.

Great to get the boots and PPE on and spend some time out on another impressive New Zealand site.

This is what local accountability looks like at APS.

WE CAME WITH PIZZA. WE LEFT VERY EXCITED ABOUT WHAT’S AHEAD. 🍕👀

Today, Tom, Orion, Venizze and the Advanced Personnel team headed down to one of our clients’ Christchurch offices for a good old-fashioned lunch shout.

With plenty of upcoming work together, it was a great chance to meet more of the team, put faces to names and start building the relationships behind the work.

For us, this is what a good partnership should look like.

Not just calling when people are needed.

Showing up. Getting to know the team. Understanding the operation. And building the relationship before things get busy.

Thanks for having us, team!

Plenty of pizza demolished and some very exciting things coming up in Christchurch.

Watch this space. 👀

MANAWATŪ, WE’RE ALREADY ON THE GROUND. 👷‍♂️🚜

If you thought APS was only in the main centres, here’s a little reminder that our reach goes much further.

Our Palmy team is out there supporting real local businesses with real local workers across Palmerston North and the wider Manawatū.

And if you’re looking for work?

We want to hear from you too.

We recruit across:

🚜 Civil & Construction
🏭 Manufacturing

🏗️ Labouring
🚛 Driving
⚙️ Forklift & Machine Operation
👷 Temporary & Permanent roles

APS has been Kiwi owned and family owned for 39 years, giving our clients national reach with local accountability.

FROM TEMP OF THE MONTH TO A PERMANENT ROLE! 👏🎉

Now this is the kind of update we love sharing.

Meet PJ, our Auckland South Temp of the Month for June.

Ashwini recently headed out to site to surprise PJ with his certificate, but there’s an even better reason to celebrate...

PJ is on his way to becoming a permanent member of the client’s team. 🙌

He’s worked hard, turned up, proven himself and made such a positive impression that once he completes his required hours, the client wants to keep him.

His warehouse manager and supervisor were pretty happy about it too!

This is what we love about recruitment.

Sometimes a temporary opportunity is exactly that. Other times, it’s the foot in the door that leads somewhere much bigger.

PJ made the opportunity count, and we couldn’t be prouder of him.

Congratulations PJ. Absolutely deserved! 👏

CIVIL RECRUITMENT IS NOT JUST MATCHING A JOB TITLE

A drainage crew does not simply need “a labourer”.

It needs someone who understands how to work safely around machines, trenches, services and changing site conditions.

The same applies to operators, drivers and skilled workers.

The job title is only the beginning.

APS takes the time to understand what the work actually involves, the type of crew the person will join and what success looks like on site.

Because the right fit helps the whole project move better.

Need people for upcoming civil work?

Send APS a message.

TAG THE BEST PERSON ON YOUR CREW

What makes someone great to work with on a civil site?

Is it their machine skill?

Their work ethic?

Their attitude?

Their ability to stay calm when the day does not go to plan?

At APS, we know tickets and experience matter. But reliability, safety awareness and being a solid team member are what build a strong reputation.

Tag the best person you have worked with on a civil crew and tell us what made them stand out.

Let’s give New Zealand’s great civil workers some recognition.
