About the Opportunity
Find your people.
At Tribe Group, that's not a tagline, it's how we operate. We're human and relationship-driven first, not transactional, because that's genuinely who we are. We back our people to be curious, collaborative, and upbeat, and to bring their full selves to the way they work with clients and candidates.
We call it being a Tribey: showing up for your team, backing the people around you, and caring about getting it right for the person on the other side of the desk, not just the outcome.
Tribe Group is evolving, growing, and rewriting what recruitment looks like. We're one of New Zealand's leading recruitment brands, and the most-followed New Zealand based recruitment company on LinkedIn, with a reputation built on being genuine people. We operate across multiple verticals, Tribe Recruit, Tribe Tech, Tau Mai, and Tribe Executive, connecting top talent with leading organisations across New Zealand and making a meaningful impact.
We're backed by technology and automation that takes the admin and repetitive noise off your plate, not the judgement. Every CV still gets a proper look, every candidate a real conversation. The tech clears space for that, it doesn't replace it. What you put in, you get out, and we make sure the platform underneath you is strong enough to make that effort count.
Our consultants get the room to focus on the human aspect, to get curious, lift the hood and really understand someone's situation, fully. Coach them properly, and deliver recruitment that feels considered.
Tech handles the noise. You handle the person.
About the Role
We're in growth mode, and that's exactly why we're hiring. We're currently recruiting within Tribe Recruit across various disciplines, for Consultants who want to grow with the business, not just clock in for it.
These are warm desks, where you'll pick up, build, and maintain relationships with clients, while also meeting, assessing, and selecting great talent to place with them. It's an end to end role, on a high-performing team with a reputation for excellence, working with some of New Zealand's leading businesses. You'll manage the full recruitment lifecycle, from sourcing to placement, while building and nurturing strong relationships with clients and candidates. With a collaborative and experienced team around you, this is your chance to step into an environment where you'll be supported to succeed, grow, and make a real difference.
You'll need to be commercially minded, be comfortable to grow our footprint with clients, and deliver a level of service that reflects who you and we are. We work hybrid, one day at home each week, with the rest spent where the actual work happens: with clients, candidates, and the team around you.
The ceiling on our roles is high. We have agreements in place across both government and private sector clients, giving you real infrastructure to work with from day one, alongside great OTE potential and benefits including birthday and quarterly "My Days". In return for the freedom and investment, we expect delivery, ownership and responsibility.
Key Responsibilities:
- Managing end-to-end recruitment processes
- Building strong, long-term relationships with clients and candidates
- Contributing to the team's success through open communication and knowledge sharing
- Delivering high standards of service and professionalism, ensuring all recruitment practices align with best practices
- Staying up to date with processes, systems, and market trends
What You’ll Bring
Relevant recruitment experience is welcome. You've been in the room, you know the game, you don't need a script.
But here's the twist: if your background is in sales, real sales, the kind where you coached, managed, and actually developed the people around you instead of just chasing targets, you're already halfway there. We're not hiring closers. We're hiring people who know how to build relationships.
You ask questions because you actually want the answer, not because it's step three of a process. You notice when something's off with a client or a candidate before anyone tells you. You'd rather fix a problem yourself than wait for someone to hand you the solution. And when something needs doing, you're already doing it, not scheduling a meeting about it..
What you'll need to succeed:
- A background in sales, client management, or recruitment where you were the one driving outcomes, not following a script
- Self-motivated and independent, the kind of person who spots an opening and moves on it rather than waiting to be told
- Sharp recall for people, so the right candidate comes to mind at the right moment
- Comfortable owning your space, your own database, your own LinkedIn Recruiter searches, your own process start to finish, and able to work efficiently across various recruitment platforms
- An inquisitive, curious nature, someone who'd rather ask a sharp question than assume they already know the answer, with a genuine desire to learn and grow
- Exceptional time management and organisational skills
- Strong communication skills and a team-oriented mindset
This is a genuine opportunity to join the market leader in NZ recruitment, in an environment built to back you to be yourself, build real relationships with the people you work with, and perform at a high level.
