In an industry that moves fast and is often shaped by pressure, change, and uncertainty, taking time to step back and connect matters more than ever. Recently, members of the Alignz Recruitment team had the opportunity to attend RCSA Australia and New Zealand events in Kirikiriroa and Tāmaki Makaurau. What stood out was not just the scale of the events or the insights shared, but the quality of the conversations that took place. These were real discussions with people who understand the realities of recruitment. Conversations about the...

Some events hit different. This one did. Over the weekend, Alignz Recruitment was invited to an NRL network event hosted by Sione Faumuina. His mission is real and personal. He is helping men find direction, rediscover purpose and prepare for life after rugby league. That spoke straight to us. Our work has always been about more than jobs. It is about people, identity and building futures that last. As soon as the invite landed, our CEO TJay Asiata and General Manager Brian Maposua made the call to be there. Not for show. Not for photos....

At Alignz, we’ve always said that people are at the center of everything we do. The work, the relationships, the small wins that turn into something bigger, it all comes back to people. While the business started in Hamilton, South Auckland has become a key part of our story. It’s where we’ve built strong relationships, supported local businesses, and helped countless individuals find their next step. So when our General Manager, Brian Maposua, was elected to the Board of the Manukau Business Association (MBA), it just felt right....

At Alignz Recruitment, our work takes us all over Aotearoa. One week it’s site visits in Christchurch, the next it’s project work in Queenstown. No two days look the same, and that’s exactly what we love about what we do. But it’s not just about the travel or the scenery (though Queenstown views definitely make up for cancelled flights). It’s about the people, our clients, candidates, and our own team who bring the mahi to life. Whether it’s Tjay and Isabella catching up with the Christchurch crew, or squeezing in a round of...

At Alignz Recruitment, we know recruitment is about more than just filling roles—it’s about showing up, being part of the communities, we serve, and building real relationships. Recently, our Tauranga team headed to the Tauranga Business Chamber’s networking event at Mercury Baypark Arena. Despite the rain, the energy was high and the conversations were genuine—reminding us that recruitment always starts with people, not paperwork. Over in Christchurch, George and Marissa spent time onsite with candidates, running toolbox talks...

At Alignz, we’re all about people. Finding the right ones. Supporting them into jobs. And building strong relationships with the businesses that help make it happen. So when the team from JDE Peet’s joined us at our Manukau office recently, it wasn’t just a chance to catch up—it was an opportunity to sit down, get real, and work out how we can do better together. This wasn’t a tick-box meeting. It was honest, open conversation—the kind that actually makes a difference. Together, we walked through the key things that matter in...

Pacific Fest 2025 at Eden Park was more than just an event—it was a celebration of community, culture, and connection. We were proud to be there, thanks to the Ministry for Pacific Peoples for the invitation. The day was filled with vibrant cultural performances from local high schools, delicious kai, and the chance to meet and connect with a diverse range of businesses. It was a reminder of the strength and creativity that exists within our Pacific communities and how much we have to offer. Our Alignz stall hosted the “Toss the...

Our General Manager recently headed down to Christchurch from Auckland, and it was a fantastic opportunity to spend some time with our Alignz team and meet with local businesses. It was one of those days that really made us feel connected to the people and the energy of the Christchurch community as we look ahead to 2025. What really stood out during the day was the feedback we received from our clients. It was clear that our team’s approach is making a difference. Clients were genuinely appreciative of the way we listen to their needs,...

Guess who’s back, Waikato? Salah Bahiss has made the trip from Melbourne to Hamilton, bringing with him fresh insights and a passion for growth. This visit isn’t just about reconnecting—it’s about learning, sharing, and making an impact. As a key player in our Australia branch, Salah is tapping into the expertise of business developers across our NZ branches, exchanging ideas, and strengthening the Alignz network. From market trends to relationship-building strategies, he’s taking in valuable lessons that will help drive success...

Last Thursday, the Alignz Recruitment team had the privilege of supporting Jason Venu and the Coversure team at Placemaker’s Annual BBQ in Wiri — an event that’s all about showing appreciation for the hardworking Placemaker’s team and connecting them with valuable community resources. Each year, Placemaker’s puts on this special BBQ to thank their team for their dedication, while also bringing attention to the many services and organizations available to support them and their families. This year, Coversure Insurance took the...
