About Fazer
Straight talking.
Long-term thinking.
Fazer was founded by Chris Nicholas — a recruiter who came up through infrastructure and development, so he speaks the language of the people he places. That background shapes everything: sharper briefs, better shortlists, fewer wasted interviews.
"We take the time to understand what a business actually needs, and we go out and find it — people who can do the job, not just talk about it."
We don't chase volume. We work a focused number of clients well, move quickly, and stay in close contact throughout. If a candidate isn't right, we'll tell you — and we'll keep looking until we find someone who is.
