Bishop Associates

Bishop Associates is a recruitment, HR and executive search firm based in Christchurch, New Zealand. It says it is best known for executive search and leadership recruitment, and that its recruiters also fill a variety of roles across industry sectors and at differing levels. The firm says it has been sourcing talent for more than two decades and draws on national and international networks. Its process includes job analysis, market mapping, behavioural and competency-based interviews, and reference and background checks.

Besides permanent recruitment, Bishop Associates provides temporary staffing to cover leave, sickness or gaps during a recruitment, and an executive lease service that supplies practitioners for short to medium term project or urgent needs. It also offers HR consulting, and surveys and assessments such as psychometric assessments, 360 degree surveys, culture surveys and emotional intelligence monitoring.

The firm offers a 40% discount on its standard fees when retained by registered charities and not-for-profits. One of its recruiters specialises in health, not-for-profit and generalist roles, and Rob Bishop has worked in recruitment, business consulting and human resources since the late 1990s.
