Meet Jason, our accredited CliftonStrenghts Coach

Recruitment that sticks – that’s what you can count on with The Pond, New Zealand’s foremost recruitment agency for creative & design, digital & tech, marketing & design professionals.

The Pond has taken recruitment to the next level over the last three years by offering CliftonStrengths® strengths-based assessments in conjunction with Jason Biggs to further refine candidate selection alongside our standard, four-week full-time recruitment process.

“As our satisfied clients already know, we work hard to understand their business, define their recruitment needs, and place just the right people in the right positions to ensure they stick,” says The Pond Director Leighton Howl. 

Delivered in association with leading accredited CliftonStrengths® coach, Jason Biggs, this service promises to increase employee retention, up productivity, and drive better business performance for our clients. Considering the potential costs and downsides of getting a recruitment wrong when companies attempt to do it themselves, that’s significant.

Jason is an accredited CliftonStrengths® Coach and a member of the CliftonStrengths® Strengths Network South Pacific. In the past ten years, Jason has coached everyone from senior leadership teams to front line team leaders at more than 50 companies big and small, including Spark Health, Chapman Tripp, and Nestlé Purina. Jason gives clients confidence when it comes to key hires, he assesses team strengths, and he identifies gaps for future growth. 

CliftonStrengths® is a proven strengths assessment system developed over 30 years of research that enables individuals, teams, and organisations to identify and build on their key strengths. Already completed by 24 million people worldwide, CliftonStrengths® is used by everyone from Fortune 500 companies to small businesses to develop careers and teams.
