Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Kirimana Consultants Full time NZ$60,000 - NZ$120,000 per year

Would you love an opportunity that has a high value impact on people's lives?  

We're looking for a proactive Talent Acquisition Partner to help build and maintain a high-quality candidate database to support workforce demands across the construction, manufacturing, and other key industries.

In this role, you'll be responsible for sourcing, screening, and interviewing candidates to ensure we have a strong, engaged pool of talent ready to deploy as new projects and roles are confirmed. Your work will play a critical role in ensuring our clients have access to reliable, skilled workers quickly and efficiently.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Sourcing & Recruitment: Identify, attract, screen, and interview high-calibre candidates across multiple industries (e.g. construction, manufacturing, logistics).
  • Workforce Planning Support: Collaborate with internal teams to anticipate staffing needs and ensure we have the right people available at the right time.
  • Candidate Readiness: Ensure all candidates meet role requirements and are pre-screened, inducted and hold all current and relevant qualifications and certifications.
  • Administrative Accuracy: Maintain candidate records, compliance documentation, and recruitment-related reporting using Microsoft Office and internal systems.
  • Talent Pool Development: Proactively build and manage a comprehensive talent database, ensuring up-to-date and accurate candidate profiles.

What We're Looking For:

This role would suit with previous talent acquisition experience, those that have transferrable skills from other roles or those that have a desire to enter the recruitment industry or become a recruitment consultant. Working in or understanding the construction industry and trades would be an advantage. You should be confident engaging with people from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures and have excellent communication skills both written and verbal. Solid administrative and Microsoft Office skills are essential, along with a methodical, organised approach to managing candidate information and documentation. Bilingualism is a bonus but not essential.

What's in it for you?

At Kirimana, we're more than just a recruitment company. We're a people-first, growth-focused company that values cultural diversity and long term development. You'll be joining a supportive team environment where initiative is encouraged, and your contributions are recognised. As we continue to grow, so do the opportunities for you to expand your skills, take on more responsibility, and progress your career. If you're looking for a role where you can make a tangible impact, help shape lives and provide opportunities, this is the position.

Apply now with your CV and a brief cover letter outlining your experience and why you're the right fit for this role.

Please note: Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. You must have a valid visa, residency, or be a New Zealand citizen to apply.
