A global government focus
To utilise our government specific knowledge, network and continue to attract the best candidates for the government sector, we have developed a Government Centre of Excellence (GCE). A global team of our Government and public sector recruitment specialists come together regularly to discuss changes to legislation, newly available candidates, major digital transformation projects and challenges facing Government departments around the world. This knowledge centre is just one example of what sets us apart.
Supporting rangatahi
In 2018, we launched our charitable foundation, Talent RISE in New Zealand. Talent RISE offers education and work readiness programs to young people with barriers to employment and works closely with potential employers to source job opportunities for our rangatahi. In New Zealand, our focus is to help solve the NEET youth crisis by bridging the gap between unemployment and employment.
Since launching in New Zealand, we have supported over 90 rangatahi into meaningful employment and have positively impacted the lives of over 300 young people through our outreach workshops and youth events. With our future plans to soon expand into Auckland, we plan to impact more young lives in New Zealand.
