Executive Recruitment
The foundation of our success as an Executive Search and Recruitment Specialist relies on an in-depth understanding of your business.
Leveraging over three decades of recruitment know-how, our deep understanding of business frameworks, the intricacies of New Zealand’s industry sectors, and the core competencies essential for exceptional executive performance, we provide quality processes and deliver successful outcomes.
We work with…
- Boards of Directors appointing a CEO to develop and deliver new strategies.
- Chief Executives strengthening their leadership teams.
- Business owners considering a strategy for exit or move away from active leadership.
Our industry insight and extensive networks afford us a unique perspective on individual career paths and accomplishments, enabling us to discern potential for leadership beyond specialised senior roles, into General Management and CEO positions.
For business owners looking to change their role or exit the business the process can seem daunting. Often, we will assist the owner or owners to understand their future role in the business and from this determine the appropriate leadership structure and the new competencies, skills and experiences required to take the business forward.
Our work as an Executive Search and Recruitment Specialist in the Primary and Secondary processing sectors since the turn of the millennium has provided the opportunity to engage with Iwi, Hapu, and Whanau owned enterprises.
In these contexts, effective leadership also demands a focus on kaitiakitanga (guardianship), whānaungatanga (relationship-building), and manaakitanga (hospitality, generosity, support) — emphasising the importance of proactive guardianship of land and resources, building lasting relationships, and caring for families and communities.

We can provide you access to candidates around the world. You can work with a local recruiting firm yet benefit from access to knowledge on six continents.
