Robert Walters ran a nationwide search, drawing over 160 applications and successfully delivered all four appointments.
REANNZ

Facing four senior appointments and an urgent need for interim technology leadership, REANNZ gained the capability it needed through a coordinated search that delivered every role.
Waikato District Council
Waikato District Council is one of New Zealand’s fastest growing regions, and it needed new leaders to help transform its customer experience. Robert Walters partnered with the Council to find executives who were skilled in their field and committed to te ao Māori, despite a challenging public sector talent market.
