Success Stories
"We didn't get a huge response, I think due to the specialist nature of the position, but the important thing was the person we did get was of a very high calibre, so we are very pleased. We will certainly continue to use your services in future. "
Fine Wine Delivery Company
"Could you pull the vintage 09 advert please. An amazing response."
NZ Wine Co
"The winejobsonline website was easy to use and I was really pleased with the response – a good selection of appropriately qualified and experienced candidates. Clearly, it’s a service known about and used by those with industry experience, and those with a real passion for a wine industry career, which makes for a good pool of talent and minimizes time spent working with ‘tyre-kickers’. "
MJ Loza, General Manager, Seresin Estate
"The crew is just about finalised so I think we will be fine to let the ad run out. Great response again from it. Heaps from the US this year."
NZ Wine company
"We have had heaps of good quality replies - large majority international."
Amisfield Wine Company
