Qualified, productive & reliable customer service and admin staff

Comprehensive screening

Every Sidekick passes our rigorous screening process, including interviews, document checks, OH&S, and tailored inductions. Whether you need administrative assistants or call centre staff, our process ensures you get the best of the best.

Staff profiles drive accountability

Unlike traditional recruitment agencies in Christchurch, you choose who works for you. Our Sidekicks are rated and reviewed after every shift. You can see their reliability score and past industry experience on their profile. 

Talent pools drive retention

Put your favourite hospitality Sidekicks in talent pools and send shifts directly to them so you see the same faces over and over.

Quick and simple to use

Industry-leading fill rates

Make a request at any time of day or night, and it is instantly sent to available local staff, making our fill rates faster than other customer service and admin recruitment agencies in Christchurch. Whether it be to cover sick leave or an ongoing placement.

You’re in control

Choose to select Sidekicks from available customer service and admin staff or have our system do it for you. 

We’re there every step of the way

Our 24/7, 365-day local support team is there to support you, whenever you need it.

Pay less for more

Save 30% on recruitment agency fees

Unlike a traditional Christchurch-based customer service and admin recruitment agency, we don’t have a branch network or require recruiters to fill all your requests. Our investment in innovation allows us to pass on cost savings to you.

Set the rates you want to pay

Our pricing engine allows you to control what your workers are paid.

Improved compliance

Digital compliance systems give you security that your customer service and staff are qualified, safe to work, and being paid correctly.

How do you pre-screen staff?
