It might seem like a bold claim to say that recruitment changes lives, but we know that its always about more than just a job and a pay cheque. It's a passion, a lifestyle, a future, a calling. It's all about growth and giving back; about creating and contributing to something bigger.
Everyone's success lies in having good people around them. So, for talent co:lab, recruitment is about more than simply matching the right skills to the right roles, its about aligning the values and visions of a business with talented people who have the ambition to grow alongside them.
We also offer a CV Writing Service for jobseekers! Packages include, CV Re-design, LinkedIn Profile Optimisation, Career Advice and free CV Templates!

I'm Vicky Blake
Your Recruitment Partner
I’m a people connector and my superpower is helping NZ SME's find great talent!
With over 17 years in recruitment, I've left that big agency competitive/corporate attitude behind!​ The only KPI's I measure are genuine success stories.
​
I see my role as both ambassador for the brands I work with and as an advocate for great talent.
​
Recruitment is about people - so let's co:lab!
Here's what our clients say
"I had the pleasure of working with Vicky Blake from talent co:lab, and I can confidently say she is an exceptional recruiter. Vicky takes the time to thoroughly understand not only the job description but also the company's culture and strategic objectives.
Vicky has a unique style of recruiting, providing feedback to every candidate, which elevates their experience and leaves a positive impression of our company, even for those not selected. This approach has significantly enhanced our employer brand and positioned us as an organisation that values and respects all potential talent.
Furthermore, in our niche industry, we often face challenges in finding candidates with specific expertise. However, Vicky demonstrated a keen ability to identify individuals with transferable skills from other industries, and these hires are now thriving within our business, contributing significantly to the organisation’s success.
Vicky possesses a deep knowledge of recruitment practices and talent acquisition, and her expertise is evident in
the quality of candidates she presents.
​
I would highly recommend her to any organisation looking for a recruiter who is
insightful, results-driven and a pleasure to work with!"
