Get a Life | Get Southland

Businesses are facing unprecedented challenges in recruitment amidst a cost-of-living crisis and intense competition for top talent. To thrive in this environment, it's time for businesses to get clever and creative.

We need to sell our lifestyle (as well as the jobs we have), So we have created tools to support your efforts - the Talent Attraction Toolbox, inviting candidates to "Get a Life".

The 'Get a Life' toolbox is poised to support recruitment efforts within the business community. It challenges conventional career paradigms by posing a critical question: Are you ready to 'Get a Life' with us? Here in Murihiku Southland.

This initiative aims to attract professionals and their families to consider Southland as an exceptional destination for both work and lifestyle, a prospect they might not have previously entertained.

So, how does it work? Our toolbox features a bold and thought-provoking tagline designed to pique curiosity and prompt introspection among potential candidates. Departing from traditional recruitment strategies, we focus on showcasing Southland's unique aspects, highlighting its blend of career opportunities and quality of life. Instead of mundane office settings, we spotlight the region's natural wonders, local cafes, and scenic beaches, as well as vibrant modern offices and businesses, emphasising the importance of personal well-being and work-life balance.

By encouraging individuals to reassess their current circumstances and explore new possibilities in Southland, we're not just offering a job but an entirely different way of life.

We are here to help! The toolbox is free, and we want to share the lifestyle opportunities in Southland far and wide; if you can think of other tools you might find useful to showcase the great lifestyle and our region to support your recruitment, we want to hear about it. Join us in reshaping the future of recruitment by encouraging those in the rat race not just to get a great job but to get a life.

This toolbox has been designed with Southland's housing challenges front of mind as an essential resource for businesses with immediate and tangible recruitment needs, not a broad call for mass relocation. By providing targeted, practical tools for businesses, we empower local businesses to thrive by attracting the right talent efficiently, ensuring that Southland remains a vibrant and prosperous community to visit, work, live, study, and invest in.
