• Ability to build trusted relationships across an organisation
• Knowledge of Springboard ATS – Not essential but an understanding of how an ATS runs effectively
• Work with competency profiles and psychometric assessments to identify ‘potential' in candidates who come from all walks of life. We use Talegent for our psychometrics across the organisation
• Facilitation of assessment centres

We are looking for a great human – first and foremost! You are a competent team-player who can show an understanding (or an openness to developing an understanding) of the Treaty of Waitangi/Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its application to the work of government departments.
