A brief view

Our story

A passion for people, rooted in Kiwi community

HOME Recruitment was born out of a simple idea: to create a recruitment agency that does things differently. Founded in 2018, our roots run deep in the Auckland community, and we’re proud to call New Zealand home.

What started as a small team with big dreams has blossomed into a trusted name in the industry, known for our personal approach and commitment to building lasting relationships. Over the years, we’ve grown and evolved, but our core values remain the same – putting people first, every single time.

Culture is everything

Our company values

Our values don’t just live on paper – they’re woven into the fabric of everything we do. From the way we collaborate as a tight-knit team to the way we engage with clients and candidates, you’ll feel that personal touch and unwavering professionalism every step of the way.

We’ve walked in your shoes and  understand the journey. We’re here to connect, offer options and facilitate your growth.

It’s not about us, it’s about you. We build honest, genuine, long-lasting relationships because that’s what truly matters.
Make it count. We give our best. We choose quality. We share the laughter and celebrate success. Spread the word!
We start by listening and really want to understand you. Then, we do what we say we’ll do with care, accuracy and speed.

Diversity & inclusion

At HOME Recruitment, we value diversity and are committed to having an inclusive culture across all areas of our business where we can all feel safe to be ourselves at work.

We’re on a journey and proud to promote inclusion and diversity among clients, candidates and colleagues. It’s our company policy to support people who hold protected characteristics, both internally and externally. While legislation guides us, our motivation for positive change comes from a much simpler place – it’s the right, human thing to do.
