About Us
Talinger is backed by a depth of global tech recruitment experience and long-standing local industry connections.
The technology sector is moving fast, New Zealand companies are standing shoulder-to-shoulder with enterprises on the global stage, and businesses are rapidly innovating to keep up. Technology companies need recruiters who understand the importance of innovating themselves, and the impact that technology can have on our own industry.
We saw the need for a more agile and technology-driven process, that keeps up with the speed and specific needs of the tech sector, while still drawing on the wealth of knowledge and industry insight that comes after 20+ years in the game. We also know that despite its changes, recruitment remains about relationships at its core, which is why Talinger is a boutique agency committed to maintaining a personal touch and tailored delivery.
When you partner with Talinger, you tap into this emerging landscape, with access to powerful tools that help you find great talent at scale while boosting your employment brand to a savvy and selective market.
