About Potentia
When we launched in 2004, Facebook and Skype had just been founded, the iPod was in its prime, and the first Androids/iPhones were still years away.
We’re more than just tech recruitment specialists
Kia ora, we’re Potentia! Spanning more than two decades as a technology recruitment agency, for us, it’s always been about people.
We may work in tech, but our story starts and ends with people. The ones who built digital shop fronts, the ones who developed new ways of sharing information and just about everything else we take for granted in business today. We know your potential, your limitations, what makes you tick, and what puts a smile on your face. From graduates to c-suite and everyone in between, our tech recruiters are here to help you stay on top of your game.
Potentiate Group
We’re a part of Potentiate Group, New Zealand’s largest locally-owned tech recruitment business, with 50+ people across two core brands, Potentia and Crew Technology Recruitment. After merging with Crew in early 2024, we’ve been able to expand our footprint and enter the South Island. With Crew becoming a part of the Potentia whānau, we now have most of the country's major tech hubs covered from four offices in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin.
Kaupapa Potentia
Values aren’t just something we talk about. Bringing together the shared beliefs and values that drive every decision, we developed a set of values that underpin the relationships we have with clients, candidates and each other.
