Kōrero mōu - About you

You will have at least a few years recruitment and onboarding experience and have contemporary ideas about attracting, hiring and onboarding excellent people for a hybrid workplace in a tight employment market, and have the skills to implement these. 

Experience designing and implementing new approaches or projects using customer centric design principles would be advantageous.

Customer centricity and a passion for providing excellent candidate and new hire experiences, along with making the lives of hiring managers easier, is essential. 

You will be able to demonstrate your ability to quickly build and maintain relationships with a wide range of people including senior leaders and candidates for a wide range of roles. You’ll be able to do this in person and remotely as we are a hybrid organisation where meetings are often held on Microsoft Teams. 

We currently do not have a HRIS and a lot of our processes (approvals, candidate management and onboarding etc.) are done via email, so you’ll need to have the organisational skills to work with that.
