Careers · Contracting & Recruiting
Recruitment that starts from relationships, not databases
Sixteen years of no-selling events means AFQY knows New Zealand tech people as people: what they're brilliant at, what they're like in a room, and where they'd thrive. When we place someone, contracting or permanent, it's because we know both sides of the match, not because a keyword search lined up.
Contracting
Proven contractors from the AFQY network, ready for delivery, transformation and specialist work. Because our people come through the community, you get the reference checks nobody writes down: how they actually work with others.
We back our contractors beyond the placement, with the community, its events and its yarns behind them for the length of the engagement.
Recruitment
Permanent placements the same way: person first. We introduce people we'd vouch for to organisations we understand, and we're straight with both sides, because our name travels with every introduction.
Particular strength in hard-to-assess talent: New Kiwis whose overseas experience reads unfamiliar on paper but shines in the room.
Case studies
The one that taught us the most
43 New Kiwis placed, pro bono
We once placed 43 skilled migrants into New Zealand tech roles without charging a cent: coaching them through Kiwi CVs, interviews and workplace culture, then opening our network until each one landed. Forty-three careers started. Forty-three families settled.
It was also unsustainable, and we say that openly. Goodwill alone couldn't fund the hours it took to do it properly. What it gave us was something no sustainable business could have bought at the start: deep, repeated practice at getting overlooked talent hired, and proof that the AFQY approach works.
Today's services carry those 43 placements' worth of lessons, on a footing that means we can keep doing it.
