Find Recruitment

What Find Recruitment does

Find Recruitment is a privately held, founder-owned New Zealand recruitment consultancy founded in 2008, specializing in permanent, contract, and fixed-term placements across Accounting, Finance, IT & Digital, Risk, Procurement, and Business Support roles. The firm operates from offices in Wellington (headquarters, Level 6, 11 Chews Lane) and Auckland (Level 1, 87 Albert Street), serving 200+ client organizations nationwide including ANZ, Xero, Spark NZ, the NZ Government, Ministry of Primary Industries, and Westpac NZ. Its core technology is a proprietary candidate database of 100,000+ profiles maintained by consultants averaging 13 years of NZ recruitment experience; there is no software-as-a-service product, with delivery conducted through direct consultant engagement.

The business model is contingency-based: clients pay a placement fee (typically a percentage of first-year salary) only upon successful hire, generating transaction-fee revenue across both permanent and contract/fixed-term streams. The firm also earns ancillary revenue via a Contracting Services toolkit (including IRD/GST/ACC administration integration with Hnry), a NZD 300 Refer a Friend incentive, and a productized Salary Guide that monetizes market intelligence indirectly via candidate acquisition. Go-to-market is dual-sided: a consultative sales-led motion on the client side, combined with a direct-to-candidate motion via an in-house job board, weekly email job alerts, LinkedIn presence, and content marketing (blog, industry guides, an AI-powered Salary Bot). An IT/Digital leadership spin-off (FindX) and a dedicated IT/Digital arm (Find IT Wellington, established 2013) extend the brand into higher-margin executive search.

Operationally, the company holds multiple certifications supporting its positioning (NZ Government Certified Hiring Partner, RCSA Registered Member, Chartered Accountants ANZ partner, PridePledge, Gender-at-Work, AutismNZ) and operates a multi-entity legal structure (Find Recruitment Limited, Find Recruitment Auckland Limited, Find IT Recruitment Limited, Find IT Recruitment Auckland Limited) under The Find Recruitment Group. There is no disclosed institutional investment, no funding history, and no parent company; the firm is 100% Kiwi-owned and operated, with a leadership team anchored by founders Julian Greaves, Rob Woodward, and Mike McKay.
