Client: International Engineering Consultancy — Ongoing partnership
the consultancy, an established engineering consultancy in Auckland, needed to recruit two Principal Design Engineers — one specialising in Primary Systems and the other in Protection Systems. These are rare, senior-level roles requiring deep technical expertise in electrical engineering design, and New Zealand's engineering talent pool is notoriously shallow at the principal level. Previous recruitment efforts had stalled after months of searching.
HBG deployed a cross-border sourcing strategy, mining our extensive Australasian engineering candidate database and running targeted headhunting campaigns across both Australia and New Zealand. By positioning the roles with a compelling value proposition — Auckland lifestyle, career progression, and project variety — HBG attracted experienced engineers who were considering a move. Rigorous technical screening ensured only genuinely qualified candidates were presented to Edison.
A major demolition contractor had their regular labour hire provider fail to deliver workers three times in a row on a critical asbestos removal project. With strict regulatory deadlines and the site at risk of shutting down, they needed a reliable partner immediately.
A Tier 1 contractor securing a major road infrastructure project needed to rapidly scale from 5 to 55 workers within 2 weeks. They required traffic controllers, civil labourers, plant operators, and leading hands — all with current tickets and site-specific inductions.
A top-20 national builder had been searching for 4 months for a Senior Site Manager to lead a $120M mixed-use development. Previous recruitment agencies had sent unqualified candidates, wasting the client's time.
