The Accordant Group
JacksonStone & Partners is part of the Accordant Group, New Zealand’s largest recruitment and resourcing company and the only staffing provider listed on New Zealand’s stock exchange, the NZX.
New Zealand’s leading recruitment company
In 2019, JacksonStone & Partners became part of the Accordant Group, which has grown to become New Zealand’s largest recruitment company and only staffing provider listed on the NZX. The Accordant Group comprises five trading entities; JacksonStone & Partners, Absolute IT, AWF, Hobson Leavy, and Madison; with capability spanning all aspects of commercial and industrial recruitment services, including permanent, temporary and contractor assignments. The Group employs close to hundreds of full-time staff across 19 towns and cities, and the Group’s geographical reach and network are unmatched in New Zealand.
Whilst our businesses are best known for traditional recruitment services, our capability has expanded to provide staffing solutions designed to deliver specific outcomes such as change management programmes, onboarding and training, full executive search, executive sourcing, and recruitment services.
The Work Collective is an Accordant Group employment initiative that delivers social impact by connecting employers, employment support organisations and our group businesses to provide meaningful work opportunities for those who face barriers to employment.
The Work Collective’s initiatives are to empower individuals, foster diversity and inclusion, deliver measurable social impact within communities, and offer unique social procurement solutions to achieve impactful supply chain spending.
Corporate Responsibility & Community
Our contribution to the communities in which we live and work is very important to us. We promote equality by implementing diversity and inclusion policies, fostering a healthy work-life balance, and striving daily to improve ourselves, our communities, and our country. Here are some of the ways we do this:
- Creating a fair and professional work environment
- Fostering a working environment that respects each individual’s age, gender, race, sexual orientation, and physical abilities
- Implementing policies and procedures that help maintain work/life balance to support employees’ needs and lifestyle
- Taking time out annually from work to work in the community through volunteering and other community engagement
- Advocating for good environmental practice and sustainability in our day-to-day business activities
- Minimising our corporate carbon footprint by encouraging video conferencing wherever possible and reducing travel
