Specialist Accounting and Financial Services, Sales and Marketing, Supply Chain, Operations and Procurement Recruiters.
Our annual report offers an expert-led view of what’s shaping the employment market in New Zealand.
This year’s edition brings together salary data, market commentary and practical insight to help business leaders make confident decisions in a market that is finally starting to move.
Key insights include:
- Employment market trends: Detailed salary guides and talent analysis across Accounting & Financial Services, Sales & Marketing, Supply Chain, Operations & Procurement, including the roles that barely existed a few years ago.
- Economic commentary: A no-nonsense read from Infometrics’ Brad Olsen on a recovery that has been delayed rather than denied, and what rising rates and fuel costs mean for business.
- AI meets the hiring process: Both sides of the table are now using the same technology. A practical look at screening drift, candidate pitfalls, and where AI genuinely helps rather than filters out the people you most wanted to meet.
- Missing the bottom rung: What AI is doing to entry-level work, why youth unemployment has hit a 30-year high, and what employers should do about their graduate pipeline now.
- What NZ’s CFOs are really thinking: Key findings from 316 finance leaders in the Mood of the CFO 2026 report.
