Kaupapa Māori
Tē tōia, tē haumatia
Nothing can be achieved without a plan, workforce, and way of doing things.
We tautoko you in the search and selection of qualified and experienced talent
Our role in executive search and recruitment is to find the right people to enable public sector and Māori organisations to achieve their kaupapa. With a respectful understanding of te ao Māori, we will assist you in making high-quality executive, board, trustee and specialised kaupapa Māori role appointments.
Nāu te rourou, nāku te rourou, ka ora ai te iwi
Our kaupapa Māori recruitment team will provide you with a unique, inclusive recruitment process. We work in a Māori-centric way and our candidates are at the heart of all our processes.
We work with manaaki throughout our process and take a whānau-centric approach. We approach every assignment differently but have the same overall principles. We treat our candidates with awhi, aroha and mana. We provide a robust, transparent process that is pono and tika. We work hard to ensure we tautoko our candidates and clients on this journey and want to ensure we are working with kotahitanga.
What We Offer
We manage your contractor recruitment needs end-to-end, with a robust process that ensures we know as much about your organisation’s culture as we do your technical needs – and everything in between.
Broad Experience
We have over 10 years’ experience in this environment and a deep understanding in kohikohi ana i ngā mahi a te Māori. Having placed senior Māori leaders across a wide range of both iwi and state-sector organisations, we understand the structures and needs, and which skillsets are required within each environment – be it commercial, academic, technical or cultural.
Extensive Networks
Using well-established networks and contacts across Aotearoa in combination with targeted attraction strategies across a variety of channels, we present you with the best pool of candidates in the market. We always aim to foster whanaungatanga and we enjoy long-standing relationships, with many candidates returning to us as clients.
Strategic Advice
While you make the final candidate selection, we are here to support, challenge, and guide you during the process with clear and balanced advice. We give you confidence in the process and the outcome, and we back the hiring decision with a 6 month guarantee for search candidates.
Tailored Approach
We approach every assignment differently but have the same overall principles. Our end-to-end process is transparent, consistent, targeted and auditable. Not only do we ensure you meet your legal obligations when recruiting senior leaders, we also operate with sensitivity and high integrity within the framework of tikanga Māori.

- Comprehensive search methodology
