Our team
Honesty, transparency and integrity are at the core of all that we do.
Our story
Armed with an unparalleled commitment to people and progress, Franklin Smith Trades set out in 2016 to become the benchmark in labour recruitment in New Zealand. Franklin Smith’s Trades division was born out of a dedication to right the industries wrongs, determined to put people before profits and truly make a difference.
Behind the scenes, Franklin Smith Trades expects the best from the best team in the business. Now with five staff and offices in both Auckland and Christchurch, our trades and labour recruitment experts have first-hand industry experience and are at the top of their game.
Our values
At Franklin Smith Trades we believe honesty is the basis of a long and enduring business relationship. Our consultants deliver to our values and our expectations when we look steps ahead in the client’s vision to see where they’re going, rather than where they’re at.
Founding everything we do on the cornerstones of support, progress, honesty and transparency proves our long-term value to our clients and candidates who we believe will stay with us for a significant chunk of their career.
