What to expect from us

After Health and Friendship, a person’s career is the most important thing in your life. You give us a lot of your trust when we help you in finding the right role and we recognise that trust by treating you as an individual with feelings and not as a number.

You should expect us:

To return your phone calls as soon as we can and not ignore you.
To respond to your e-mails as soon as we can and not delete them
To properly brief you on a role and keep you fully informed on the progress of your application
To spend the necessary time with you, if we meet, to really find out what is best for you. It is about getting the right job, not the “Wood” job.
To help you to establish the criteria you will use to ensure that you make an objective decision on your role, not an emotional one.
To give you feedback after your interview with a client, regardless of whether you are successful or unsuccessful.
If you get an offer of employment, to help you decide. We will never put pressure on you to accept a role. We will always go back to the criteria you gave us when we met you.
After you have found a role to regularly keep in touch to see how things are going, even if you found that role through another consultancy. We want you to understand that Wood and Associates will work with you throughout your career and not for “one job only”

And if you feel that we do not deliver on our promises, or our service standard slips, please contact Sylvia Wood, Managing Director on 09 358 2838
