Short description.Human Resources, Recruitment, OSH
- Warm client base to grow
- Access to All of Government sector
- High commission via fair, sustainable fees
- Fully remote – work where and how you perform best
The Market Is Changing. So Are We.
Traditional high-cost recruitment models are losing ground. Clients - both public and private sector - want smarter, more cost-effective, collaborative solutions.
That’s where we sit.
We operate as a senior, highly experienced collective (15-40+ years each), delivering flexible recruitment solutions without the overheads of big agency structures. Our model is modern, lean, relationship-led and commercially fair - for clients and for you.
TalentNow! pioneered the remote recruitment model 19 years ago - long before WFH became mainstream. We operate nationally from home offices, balancing lifestyle with performance, and supporting each other as experienced professionals.
Through our joint ownership of a mandated All of Government services provider, we have the platform and access to operate across the full public and private sector landscape.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for an experienced IT/Digital/AI Recruiter with both contract and permanent experience to build and grow within:
-
Central and wider Government
-
Corporate and private sector
-
Existing and developing client relationships
You’ll have the autonomy to run your portfolio your way - backed by credibility, brand, simple systems, and experienced peers.
This suits someone who:
-
Has worked in an agency/consultancy environment
-
Is confident in business development
-
May have considered going out alone - but wants collaboration, infrastructure and support
It’s the best of both worlds, entrepreneurial freedom without franchise-style control or hidden costs.
About You
You are a hands-on external recruiter, not an internal HR generalist.
You’ll likely have:
-
5+ years' recruitment experience (IT & Digital essential)
-
Strong BD capability and no reluctance to pick up the phone
-
The discipline and drive to work independently
-
Financial stability to build momentum
-
A professional home office setup
-
A balanced, self-managed approach to work and life
Action:
You can submit an application by clicking on Apply, but I'd prefer a call initially to chat. Contact Principal Director Kevin Chappell on 0295-974739, or email kevin@talentnow.co.nz.
PLEASE NOTE ONLY THOSE IN NZ WITH RECRUITMENT EXPERIENCE WILL BE CONSIDERED.
