We recruit IT & digital roles for NZ organisations

Looking for New Zealand’s top IT talent? Our networks and recruiting know-how help you secure great people, whether that’s a single hire, a broader hiring strategy or specialist executive search. We work closely with your hiring managers every step of the way.

Private sector recruitment

We work with companies across New Zealand to hire the people who’ll actually move the business forward.

A new hire affects the whole team, not just the role they fill. So alongside skills and experience, we take the time to find IT professionals who fit your values too.

We don’t just go find talent, we take the time to understand your goals and projects first, so our search is sharper and more accurate.

Public sector recruitment

Government agencies have trusted us for years to find great IT talent for their teams and projects, and we’re part of the AoG recruitment panel.

We get it – with costs and efficiency under the microscope, hiring the right person for public-facing tech projects takes real care. From BA to Architect, front-end design to change management, we’ve got it covered.

Hiring for permanent roles

We find great people for permanent roles – the right fit both technically and culturally, not just on paper.

We’ve got strong local networks to draw from, and when you need a rarer skill set, we’ve got a solid track record of bringing the right talent in from overseas too. Either way, we’re helping you build the team that drives your growth.

We find the candidates you can't.

Give us a proper brief and we’ll do the search work to reach candidates your own process might miss – often people who aren’t actively looking, but who’d consider the right opportunity if it landed in front of them.

We use the full toolkit – smart tech, sharp searching, and our own personal networks, to find people with the exact skills, experience and domain knowledge you actually need. Not just people who tick boxes on paper.

Your partner agency in hiring decisions

We run a structured process – working closely with your hiring managers and giving you real-time salary advice, market insights and honest feedback along the way. We’re not just filling a role, we’re helping you make the right call.

And yes, we do the due diligence you’d expect from a proper recruitment partner: accurate application forms, verified identity and right-to-work checks, reference checks, and thorough probity checks. Once you’ve made the hire, we don’t disappear – we check in regularly to make sure it’s working out for both sides.

Contractor recruitment

Need skilled contractors to deliver a project or backfill your team? That’s exactly what we do.

We’ve quickly become one of the go-to names in NZ’s tech and transformation contracting market, having placed a serious number of people into great contract roles. Our team has a deep local network of highly skilled independent contractors; many we’ve placed more than once, because good contractors come back to us.

What our contractors can offer your project

Our contractors cover a huge range of skills and specialties, from tech upgrades and product development to business change and digital transformation. We’ve built a track record clients trust, because we consistently deliver quality people, not just available people.

Quality contractors, fast

Speed matters, and it’s one of the things we’re known for – we typically find the right person within 24 to 48 hours. For rarer or harder-to-find skill sets on longer engagements, we can also tap offshore markets to get you the right fit.

Best in class experience

Robust back-end systems, strong contractor management, real support, and competitive market rates – we make contracting easy for everyone involved. Our goal is a good experience from day one through to the end of the contract, for clients and contractors alike.

Contingent Labour Resourcing

Need to augment your team with a consultant to drive a technology or business transformation outcome?
Or are you seeking specialists, technical advisors or need additional horsepower added to your team for short periods of time? If so, our Contingent Labour Resourcing service offering could be for you.

Supporting your changing resourcing needs

Organisations choose to go down the contingent labour resourcing route primarily because they have restrictions on their ability to hire people due to internal HR headcount freezes, or have a preference to hire specialist consultants using service providers. Others may prefer crafting a more flexible staff augmentation arrangement, wanting the ability to shift resource numbers up or down based on variable demand.
In any of the above scenarios, the Younity team can provide a solution to suit, leveraging our vast network of highly skilled consultants, partners and technical professionals.

Capability across all areas of IT

Younity can augment your teams with individual consultants or teams of consultants across a wide variety of competencies. We are able to provide resource across functions such as project delivery, business change, digital transformation, software development and technology advisory.
Our team can source consultants or advisors in most of the major centres in New Zealand, be it full time or on a flexible hours basis. Let us provide you with the resourcing you need, wherever and whenever you need it.

Contractor Management & Payroll

Let us take the legwork out of managing your independent contractors.

Earn back time

Younity gives time back to you and your team, allowing you to focus on other more strategic business tasks. We take care of your team of independent contractors directly engaged by your business, by providing an outsourced solution that incorporates full timesheet, payroll and contractor support services.

Extension of your team

Our operational teams are customer oriented and pride themselves on getting it right, making every interaction as simple and accurate as possible. As an extension of your team, Younity take care of all the required processes and tasks, including reporting, purchase order management, issue resolution and contractor extensions.

Onboarding and reference checking – sorted

From on-boarding and initial contractor set-up, to probity checking and reference checking, Younity guide your contractors through the full life cycle of any assignment. We build strong relationships with these people and ensure that the engagement with your business is a good one.

Talk to us about designing a solution for your business that works seamlessly, efficiently and makes managing contractors easy.

Senior leadership and executive IT recruitment

Make the process of finding a specialist hire easier by outsourcing the entire end-to-end recruitment function to us.

Customised searches for critical roles

Younity can customise a bespoke search solution for critical permanent recruitment engagements, including senior leadership roles or hard-to-find technical roles. Some permanent roles are more difficult to fill than others and may require a deeper search of local or international markets to find the best person for the job.

Sourcing hard-to-find skillsets and experience

These roles normally take a longer period of time to recruit given their importance to your business and the need to get it right. Typically, these roles will be senior leaders or executives, people managers or specialist technical roles with rare skills that are more difficult to source.

Collaboration with your stakeholders

Younity can take the responsibility and accountability for delivering a successful placement. We’ll collaborate with all of your internal stakeholders to design a bespoke recruitment project to suit your needs, set delivery timelines, and agree milestones and service expectations.

End-to-end management of the process

We’ll filter and manage all internal and external applicants, whilst also running a highly comprehensive search process to identify, qualify and attract high value candidates. We’ll ensure you successfully land the right person for the job whilst protecting your employment brand by running a professional and polished recruitment process.

To discuss our customised search value proposition further, contact one of our team and we can give you more details about how we can use this approach to solve your most difficult recruitment needs.
