Last week Vicky met with Brendon Cook, Managing director at Kiwi Recruitment to discover what his job is all about.

Where does the company’s name come from?

We started out with five names and I couldn’t decide, so I let my friends choose!

How did you get into recruitment?

I started out as a Chef and after 18 years moved over to Canada from New Zealand as Head of Food and Beverage of Cyprus Mountain. Then it was back to New Zealand to work on the Family Business and after a time we moved here to Chichester. I came into Recruitment by accident after going for a job interview for something else, but interviewer asked why I didn’t work in recruitment. So I did, and I found it interesting and exciting. Sadly, the office I was working in closed down and rather than move with the job, it was the catalyst to start my own agency.

What do you love about the job?
