Auckland IT recruitment for teams with a delivery date to hit
I headhunt contract, permanent and leadership tech hires across NZ. No job ads. Exclusive roles only. I help you get clear on the role first, then find the person who can deliver.

What happened after the hire
Hired as a Service Desk Analyst. Eight years later, still with the business and now a Senior Technical Specialist.
One successful search led to another team, another function and later another business in the group.
A senior engineer resigned during a major e-commerce launch. An experienced contractor was found within five working days.
Why I start with the work
In this short video, I explain why I want to understand what changed before I start searching.
What experience changed
That has changed how I recruit.
I pay less attention to whether someone looks like the obvious match. I pay more attention to what they actually delivered, what they owned, and whether that evidence matters in this environment.
The same title can sit on top of very different hiring problems. And those problems often need different people.
Candidate trust
No CV is sent without consent.
I say what I know, and what I don’t.
If the job doesn’t fit, I say so.
That matters when the person you need is not actively applying.
When I’m useful
You should call me when getting the hire wrong creates a bigger problem than leaving the role open.
If getting the hire wrong creates the bigger problem, that’s usually when we should talk.

In 15 minutes, we’ll work out where the real hiring risk sits and whether the role is ready to go to market.
If the role is ready, we can talk about the search.
If it isn’t, I’ll tell you that too.
