connecting good people

Kia Orana, I'm Apii (pronounced 'RP') Jack of Cook Island descent, born and bred in NZ and am a proud mum, a devoted nana and the brains behind this operation. In December 2023, after two decades in the recruitment game, I was needed to provide support in the care of our beautiful grandchildren, so I took 3 months off work to do just that. It was my granddaughter and a banana cake (yep, there’s a story!) that cemented the decision for me to start my own business in April 2024, right in the middle of an economic downturn. Who does that? Was this brave? Was this risky? The honest answer - it was necessary. So now I bring with me over 20 years of recruitment experience across multiple sectors, recruiting for temporary, contract and permanent roles from the warehouse floor to executive management and everything in between. 

Choosing to work with AJ Talent Recruitment Ltd means dealing with an experienced recruitment business that is professional, authentic, honest and up-front and this approach has worked successfully for me since I first started recruiting. I am always mindful of the fact that recruitment is all about people, that human touch and finding the right fit for both my candidate and client is pivotal, it is a 2-way street. 

With each placement I strive to weave together the perfect tapestry of talent and opportunity, ensuring every match is a win-win. Welcome to a world where recruitment isn’t just a transaction, but a journey. Let’s find your perfect fit together.
