Why Potentia?

We are connected

With established networks that have been built up over several decades, we’re one of the most connected tech recruitment agencies in New Zealand. For you, this means drawing on our partnerships with some of the best brands New Zealand has to offer. Tech jobs you actually want to apply for. Managers you actually want to work for.

We harness tech too

As a tech recruitment agency, it wouldn’t be right if we didn’t harness tech ourselves to support your job search. Every touchpoint you have with our consultants is supported with modern tools that we’ve either developed ourselves or integrated for efficiency.

We are prioritising candidate wellbeing

The first few months of a new job can take its toll on people’s mental health. Completely self-managed, all placed Potentia candidates (both permanent and contract) receive access to our unique wellbeing discovery programme, with in-house wellbeing expert, Gayle Johnston. All contractors also benefit from Te Aka Painga – our contractor wellbeing offering.

We are future-proofing the tech sector

Whether it’s helping to bridge the gap between studies and employment (through Taitamariki Potentia) or tackling the underrepresentation of Māori & Pasifika in tech, we’re passionate about building tomorrow’s tech professionals from the grassroots up.
