Contractor wellbeing | Te Aka Painga

Te Aka Painga gives every Potentia contractor access to a bunch of perks – developed with your wellbeing at front of mind.

While in the past, contractors haven't always received this level of care from recruiters in New Zealand, we thought it was time they got more…after all, contractors are a part of our extended whānau, so why shouldn’t they benefit from the same things our people do?

Hear from other contractors

“Great team here. They genuinely care about what you are looking for as a contractor, rather than bodyshopping you into a role. Really good support and communication, and transparent and honest at all times.”

Agile Coach

1/6

“Potentia is one of the best agencies I've ever used. They've got solid relationships with quality clients and always walk the walk. Everything from application to renegotiation and renewal has been smooth and easy. Adam and the rest of the support crew have been fantastic in dealing with my occasional admin lapses (ahem late invoices) and I absolutely recommend them.”

Principal Architect

2/6

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Aman at Potentia, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Aman's efficiency, clear communication, and great attitude were instrumental in helping me secure a fantastic contract opportunity in Auckland. What truly stood out was Aman's positive attitude and genuine willingness to assist me in finding the perfect fit. She went above and beyond to advocate for me and ensure that I was well-prepared for interviews, providing valuable insights and guidance along the way.”

Project Coordinator

3/6

“Abe gave me time to understand the values and culture rather than jumping straight into a transactional discussion. By far the most authentic conversation I have had with a recruiter.”

Project Manager

“One of the best recruiters I've ever worked with! They were quick to reply, helpful with prepping me for interviews and excellent at helping me navigate any questions I had!”
