"1881 were a huge help getting triangular accreditation for our hospitality businesses in Akaroa, and they also placed interns with us at Ma Maison Akaroa for the full six months of our high season. The whole process was really smooth and straightforward. They sent us pre-vetted applicants with video interviews, we picked the ones we liked, and they arrived just a few short weeks later. The candidates have all been diligent, focused, well-trained, and ready to get stuck in and work hard. We've already decided to make intern sponsorship through 1881 a regular part of our seasonal recruiting. It's saved us so much time and hassle compared to our usual advertising, interviewing, and onboarding, plus it gives us much better security around staff retention. That's a game-changer when you're flat out during peak periods and don't have to be filling positions on the fly."
