Executive and Leadership Services

When it comes to hiring leaders, the stakes are much higher. Productivity, employee turnover, brand reputation – the list goes on. While getting recruitment right is important at all levels, the risk of leadership recruitment is something that organisations can not afford to get wrong.

As one of New Zealand’s only agencies with a tech-focused search offering, we have a long track record with senior appointments and unique roles with a strategic remit. Having been in the leadership space for more than two decades, our networks run deep within local, national and international tech communities.

Common leadership jobs we recruit for:

  • CTOs
  • CPOs
  • CIOs
  • CFOs
  • Heads of Delivery
  • Heads of Technology
  • Heads of Product
  • VPs of Engineering
  • VPs of Product

Words from employers and candidates

“I am more than very happy to recommend Potentia, they were exceptional in enabling me to obtain my current role. I was contacted by Sarah via Linkedin regarding a senior role that fitted my skill set, and throughout the process her professionalism, communication and care was second to none. I would also like to thank Julian for his excellent approach in providing background and coaching prior to my interview.”

“Julian and Sarah from Potentia did an exceptional job in recruiting for a Chief Product Officer in what is a unique and niche market segment. Their commitment and dedication resulted in a world-class talent, based overseas, taking up an executive level role for our company in NZ. They exceeded all expectations and I couldn’t recommend them more highly!”

I’ve worked with Potentia as both a candidate and a client multiple times over the last four years and have had nothing but great experiences. Sarah and Julian are wonderful, genuine and caring people who both took time to really get to know me and understand what I was looking for (on both sides of the recruitment process).
