What they need
Build something that's yours, with a brand that's already winning.
This client isn't your average agency. They were started by some of NZ's best-connected recruiters who wanted to do recruitment the human way. Since then they've picked up back-to-back SEEK Medium Agency of the Year titles and a stack of five-star candidate reviews. They're NZ-owned, they're growing, and they want a proven Business Support leader to take their desk further.
The role
You'll lead the Business Support & Administration desk across permanent and temporary recruitment. You'll own your market, grow a loyal client base, and mentor a team who care about candidate experience as much as you do. Your day will cover:
- Running a full-desk, 360 portfolio across perm and temp office support, admin, EA/PA, reception and operations roles
- Winning new business and deepening existing client partnerships across Auckland
- Building and managing a strong temp workforce and ledger
- Leading, coaching and developing consultants or building the team as the desk grows
- Contributing to the wider business strategy alongside a senior, supportive leadership team
What you'll bring
- A proven agency billing track record in Business Support, Office Support or a closely related market
- Experience leading or mentoring others, or a clear hunger to step up
- Strong temp and perm experience temp desk management is a big plus
- An established Auckland network and the drive to build on it
- A people-first approach and genuine pride in candidate care
Why this agency?
- A reputation that opens doors: award-winning, trusted brand with strong client and candidate loyalty
- A leadership seat, not just a desk, with real input into how the business grows
- Competitive base, and benefits such as additional leave, bonuses and incentives
