Executive recruitment

Source talent to realise the future potential of your organisation

With over 30 years of experience, we’re trusted advisors to public and private sector organisations across Aotearoa. Formerly offered by Intepeople, executive recruitment is now delivered through Brannigans, our dedicated brand focused on leadership appointments.

We believe an organisation’s success is shaped by the calibre of its leaders. That’s why we take the time to understand your ‘why’ and your strategy - sourcing top executive talent locally, nationally, and globally, including returning Kiwis and expats - so you get the very best people to drive your team’s success.

Looking after candidates, and your brand

We know that hiring the right executive is as much about candidate experience as it is about process. We protect and enhance your employer brand by treating every candidate with professionalism, warmth, and respect. From constructive feedback to thoughtful communication, we humanise the experience, because people remember how they’re treated.
