Job description

Recruitment Consultant - Permanent Recruitment

Kirimana is looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to focus exclusively on permanent recruitment from our Auckland office.

The Opportunity

Kirimana is looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to focus exclusively on permanent recruitment from our Auckland office.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of an established permanent recruitment portfolio while developing your own specialist market across construction management and professional services.

You’ll work with clients ranging from specialist contractors through to established national businesses, recruiting professional, technical and management‑level positions across New Zealand.

We’re looking for someone who understands that successful permanent recruitment is built around market knowledge, relationships and proactive search. You’ll need to understand your clients’ businesses, know where good candidates sit in the market and be confident approaching both.

What We’re Looking For

You will manage the complete permanent recruitment process while building a specialist desk and developing long‑term relationships with clients and candidates.

• Manage permanent recruitment assignments from initial client briefing through search, interview, offer negotiation and placement
• Proactively identify and engage high‑quality passive candidates through direct sourcing, networking, referrals and existing relationships
• Develop new business through client meetings, calls, networking and identifying recruitment opportunities within your market
• Build genuine knowledge of your specialist sectors, including key employers, projects, salaries, candidate movements and market conditions
• Take ownership of your portfolio, pipeline, revenue and the quality of service you provide to both clients and candidates

Previous permanent recruitment experience is preferred, particularly across construction.

We’re also interested in experienced recruiters from other specialist sectors who can demonstrate a strong record of business development, candidate sourcing and successful permanent placements.

What’s In It For You

You’ll be joining a locally owned recruitment business with an established client network and significant opportunity to further develop our permanent recruitment capability.

We want our consultants to build genuine specialist markets rather than simply work through vacancies. You’ll have the autonomy to develop your desk, build long‑term relationships and create a strong personal reputation within your sector.

• Competitive base salary with an uncapped commission structure
• Established client relationships and existing permanent recruitment opportunities to build from
• Dedicated resourcing and administration support, allowing you to focus on clients, candidates and placements
• Supportive team environment with flexibility, professional development and genuine earning and career progression potential

About Kirimana

Kirimana is a New Zealand‑owned recruitment company working alongside reputable businesses across construction, engineering and related industries throughout New Zealand.

We’ve built our business around relationships, industry knowledge and doing what we say we will do. Our permanent recruitment capability complements an established workforce contracting business and provides access to an extensive network of clients, candidates and industry relationships.

Our consultants are encouraged to become genuine specialists in their markets. We provide the systems, candidate support and wider team around you, while giving you the freedom and accountability to build your own portfolio and reputation.

We value people who are commercially driven, credible with clients and candidates, and take pride in delivering recruitment properly.
