Client: Leading NZ Food Manufacturer — Ongoing relationship
One of New Zealand's most iconic food manufacturers needed to fill highly specialised food technology roles in Christchurch. Finding candidates with the right blend of food science qualifications, HACCP expertise, and manufacturing experience proved difficult in New Zealand's tight talent market, where demand for food technologists far outstrips local supply.
HBG's New Zealand recruitment team, led by Murray, leveraged a combination of deep database mining and targeted LinkedIn Recruiter sourcing campaigns. By tapping into both the local NZ talent pool and cross-border candidates open to relocation, HBG identified passive candidates who weren't actively job-seeking but were open to the right opportunity. Each candidate was thoroughly screened for technical qualifications, cultural fit, and long-term career alignment with the client's values.
“Murray and the HBG team understood our business from the start. They found us candidates we simply couldn't reach through job boards alone — real specialists who fit our culture.”
Hiring Manager
People & Culture, Leading NZ Food Manufacturer
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.
