Ko Wai Mātou
Me pēhea tātou e mahi tahi ai
How we will partner with a respectful understanding of Te Ao Māori
We find the leaders organisations need to advance their kaupapa
Our clients tell us where they want to head, and we help them assess who they need to help them on the journey. During our recruitment process we incorporate tikanga, and our purpose is to ensure alignment with te ao Māori. Together, we navigate the complexity and potential of the sector to get the best people for the role. Specifically for Māori organisations, this involves the need to manage multimillion-dollar asset bases, and guiding visions for a long and sustainable future socially, environmentally and fiscally. Furthermore, for all Māori and state-funded organisations there is a concern for hauora, mātauranga, and tikanga dimensions.
It’s important to me that when clients are carrying out our recruitment process for Māori that the process is inclusive, our people are supported and manaakitanga is shown.

Our Values
We approach every assignment differently but have the same overall principles that guide how we work with both organisations and candidates.
Whanaungatanga
Building Relationships
No matter how our approach is tailored to meet the needs of our clients, fostering whanaungatanga always remains a central focus, promoting the connections and relationships essential for a successful match for both clients and candidates.
Whakawhanaungatanga
Cultural Inclusivity
We offer sessions of whakawhanaungatanga with candidates to truly understand their cultural perspectives, values, and the journey they have been on to get to where they are. We share our connections, our passion, and our aspirations to work in a space for the betterment of Aotearoa.
Manaakitanga
Extending Hospitality & Care
We emphasise the value of manaakitanga by creating a welcoming and nurturing environment, especially throughout our interview process, ensuring our candidates feel supported, valued, and cared for.
Whakapono
Trust & Integrity
Our recruitment process is carried out with the upmost trust and respect. We are completely transparent in our approach with both our clients and candidates, ensuring they understand both our role and theirs.
Working with Clients
Our executive search methodology is a rigorous and in-depth process tailored to you, and based on developing an understanding of your organisation, the sector and context in which you operate, and the unique dynamics of your team.
This gives us a very clear picture of the person you need (experience, qualifications, skill set, and style) and enables us to find, assess and propose the candidates who will help your organisation thrive.
Working with Candidates
In alignment with our values, we offer an exceptional candidate experience. We provide you with support, resources, information, and timely communication throughout the recruitment process, ensuring you feel respected and cared for. Whether it’s incorporating aspects like hui with key stakeholders, or the chance for you to share your whakapapa, we give you the best possible opportunity to shine.
Our Designs
We believe it’s important that our brand reflects us as an organisation; our values, our purpose, and our people. We partnered with a talented Māori designer to incorporate elements into our brand look and feel that reflect our commitment to upholding the principles of te ao Māori.
Tūhono
The Tūhono represents connection and the bringing together of people. It’s a symbol of balanced and harmonious relationships that together create strength and unity.
Taukaea
The Taukaea design represents many different strands, bound together, like the Tūhono, creating strength and unity.
