“I found working with Carol very easy and stress free”
“I was referred to Carol from Fraser People by two separate people within my network. We clicked immediately and I felt that Carol grasped very quickly what the business needed. I found working with Carol very easy and stress free. Carol did all the heavy lifting and I felt very secure in her hands. We were presented with three amazing candidates who had the skills we were looking for and would fit our business – I just needed to work out which one. During the process Carol was very engaging and kept me informed throughout the process. After the appointment of our preferred candidate, Carol has remained in contact to ensure all is working well. Our new Marketing Executive has been outstanding and began adding value to the business immediately. Our second preferred candidate was offered another role with our sister company. A win win for everyone! I will definitely use Fraser People again for my recruitment needs and I have already recommended her to others.”

“I wouldn’t hesitate to utilise Fraser People as both a company looking for a recruiter and a candidate.”
“I first met Carol over 10 years ago and have had the pleasure of using her as a recruiter in several different organisations. There is a reason Fraser People have been finalists in the RCSA Industry Awards for Excellence in Candidate Care. Their care for not only their candidates but the company they are recruiting for is exceptional and I am yet to encounter it with any other agency. The team take the time to understand all the requirements as well as getting to know the organisation to ensure they are placing their candidates in the right organisation for them. I wouldn’t hesitate to utilise Fraser People as both a company looking for a recruiter and a candidate.”

“Fraser People – and the indomitable Carol Fraser – is our go to for key appointments”
“Fraser People – and the indomitable Carol Fraser – is our go to for key appointments at Webb Group (Rockshop and KBB Music)
As we get bigger – and more complex – our staffing requirements have also changed significantly. We need higher quality candidates who are selected to suit – not only our capability requirements – but our unique and dynamic Company culture. We have less time to recruit and rely on Fraser People’s expertise to find, research and shortlist candidates.
By taking the time to thoroughly understand our business, and her combination of old school networking with innovative recruitment tools, Carol delivered – again – the right fit for our business.”
Brett Wells Executive Director Webb Group of Companies
“Carol’s professionalism and support through the process was brilliant”
“We were looking for the General Manager that could lead our charity from a pioneering organisation to the next stage of growth and change. We had previously been unsuccessful advertising, with a poor result. Carol was referred to us by word of mouth and met with our Board representatives, visited our community to get an idea of who we are and what we wanted, walked with us through the process and kept us fully updated at all times. Carol was successful in finding us the General Manager we required. Carol’s professionalism and support through the process was brilliant and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her service again and recommend her.”
Anne Read Chair of the Board Hohepa Trust
“I would HIGHLY recommend Fraser People”
“I was recruited into a General Manager role by Carol and also sought out Carol’s support when I needed assistance filling a management role within the same organisation. Carol and Fraser People were AMAZING. Carol was able to take the vision that I had for the person I required, and she went out there and found that person. And I was very specific. I would HIGHLY recommend Fraser People (Having experienced both sides of the desk – so to speak) and will definitely be using their services again.”
Michelle Ashby General Manager Hohepa Auckland
“you’d be mad not to use her.”
“In every interaction with Carol, I have been impressed by her candour, professionalism, proactivity, and sense of fun. In addition to getting the right types of outcomes, we have enjoyed the process. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Carol or Fraser People. Quite frankly, if you need results and you want a well-managed painless process, then you’d be mad not to use her.”
Marcus Morrison, CEO Zagga and Director, K3 Consulting
“Carol is the only recruiter you should contact.”
“After spending the best part of two decades working for one company, moving onto another opportunity was always going to be a journey.
When I first met you nearly 10 years ago, and knew she wasn’t like other recruiters. You took the time to get to know me by asking appropriate questions. Throughout the years, I haven’t spoken to any recruiters who made me feel like Carol, knowing she wouldn’t put me forward for just any job, but the right job and fit.
Her guidance throughout the process was invaluable. She made it less daunting to have her as a sounding board and keep me updated at every step.
I couldn’t recommend Carol more highly, for spending the time to get to know me, where my strengths and weaknesses were and ultimately placing me in the right fit for me.
If you don’t just want any job, but the one where it’s as right for you, as you are for it, then Carol is the only recruiter you should contact.”
Amber Cooke Marketing and Communication Manager Ford Motor Company NZ
“If you want someone that understands you… then talk to Fraser People.”
“I have known Carol for many years, having first met her back in 2012. She stood out back then and it was fantastic news when she started her own business, Fraser People, and could set out to do things differently for both clients and candidates.
I have been watching her business develop and have been impressed with her approach. Then I reached out to Carol to let her know I was available and looking for something different. My conversations with Carol have always been open, honest and direct with a big helping of humour and connection. At a time when I was losing faith in recruitment companies, she turned that around… effortlessly.
I recommend Carol if you are a candidate or a business looking to recruit someone, she has vast knowledge and a great network. If you want someone that understands you, or your business, and will work with you as you want to work, then talk to Fraser People.”
Jo Lawton Marketing and Engagement Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand
“would recommend her to any prospective client.”
“From the very first time I spoke with Carol, I could hear her genuine interest in understanding my application. She has an innate ability to communicate and connect with others and ensure everything is running smoothly; throughout the whole process she kept in touch regularly with me. I’ve found her warm, friendly, professional, and thorough and would recommend her to any prospective client.”
Lauren Beech Head of Community Engagement Spirit of Adventure Trust
“10/10 I can’t recommend Carol enough”
“Carol has been simply amazing from start to finish. Honest, transparent and caring, i felt supported every step of the way in transitioning my career. Her experience and knowledge of my employer really gave me confidence in pushing for the role, and her prompt and
accurate communication set me at ease. In what has been a huge personal step for me, i still feel like Carol is right there in my corner, even 8 weeks into the role! 10/10 I can’t recommend Carol enough”
Alec Webster Ford Motor Company NZ
“Meeting Carol was the best thing that happened to me in 2020.”
“Meeting Carol was the best thing that happened to me in 2020. After I was made redundant a week before one of my children was having surgery, Fraser People offered outstanding emotional and professional transition support from my previous employer and also on a personal life. Not only did her step-by-step coaching and support help me get my CV immediately recognised by employers on social media platforms including Seek and LinkedIn, but also helped me with job interview preparation, interviews Do’s and Don’ts and how to master virtual interviews. As an immigrant with family support thousands of miles away, she played a big role in my life. Thank you for every call and support after each interview I had, I really needed them all.
The icing on the cake is, in the end, through Fraser People Ltd, I am very excited to have started my new role this year at VOYCE – Whakarongo Mai. Nga mihi nui!”

“Carol’s combination of knowledge and experience, as well as her professional and friendly approach, are her trademark.”
“I met Carol when I was looking for a career change in 2011. She helped me find the right role to grow my career. I’ve since kept in touch with Carol to regularly discuss labour market trends and I was always look for opportunities to work together. An opportunity arose recently, and Carol’s expertise was really valuable. Our employees enjoyed her experience and advice on career transitions, training on new recruitment tools and extensive knowledge of the labour market. Carol’s combination of knowledge and experience, as well as her professional and friendly approach, are her trademark.”
Laure Chisaka, HR Manager NZ, Konica Minolta/CSG
“I highly recommend Fraser People Ltd.”
“A former colleague had been referred to Fraser People and raved about their support when looking for work. When I had lost my job due to Covid, I felt comfortable to reach out to Fraser People Ltd. I was very anxious about finding work, but Carol was awesome to work with. Carol’s positive energy is truly contagious. She’s very passionate about helping people find the right job and to help translate their skills and passion into their CV. I felt reassured throughout the whole process, and she was quick to respond to any of my questions or queries. I highly recommend Fraser People Ltd. They assisted not only with my CV, but they also talked me through creating a LinkedIn account (which was a whole new world for me), writing a good cover letter, Interview Preparation and reviewing my contract when I was offered a role in a company that I am very excited to be a part of.”
Cecilia Tuala Corporate Social Outcomes Programme Manager Downer New Zealand
