Trusted Introductions for Technology Hiring in New Zealand

Who came to mind?

You probably know one technology leader carrying a hiring problem that has become harder than it should be.

Someone left.
The team is stretched.
A critical role is still open.
Or the deadline stayed while the people problem changed.

If someone came to mind, introduce us. I’ll take care of the trust behind it.

Make a trusted introduction

No cold outreach · No mailing list · You stay in control

The most important part

Your reputation comes first.

A warm introduction is not just a name. You are lending me some of your trust.

You know what happens next. You choose how the introduction is made.

They stay in control. I only continue if they want the conversation.

I make the conversation useful. They do not need to have a vacancy ready.

The introduction should make you look helpful, not make them feel sold to.

Up to
NZ$2,500

A trusted introduction can earn a referral reward if it leads to qualifying technology search and placement outcomes.

The reward matters. The relationship matters more.

Who is worth introducing?

Usually, the problem has already started showing itself.

The work stayed

Someone left, but the workload did not. The team is carrying the gap.

The deadline stayed

A programme, migration, cutover or delivery milestone still has to happen. The capability or capacity is not there yet.

The hiring problem stayed

They have already advertised, interviewed or searched. But the problem is still sitting there.

They do not need an approved vacancy. A real problem is enough.

Keep it easy

You decide how much you want to do.

Introduce us yourself

Copy me into a quick email or LinkedIn message.

Let me write it for you

Tell me who came to mind and why. I’ll draft something you can forward.

Talk to me first

Not sure whether the introduction makes sense? Tell me the situation first.

You do not have to risk the relationship before you know the conversation will be useful.

Why people are comfortable introducing me

“I’ve worked with Jessica over the years to find people with the right skills, experience and team fit. We’ve had some high-calibre people join our teams as a result of her work. More than once, she’s been able to get us out of a bind when we needed a specific skillset at short notice.”

Peter Zavoda
GM Technology

The best introductions have turned into relationships that lasted years.

What this can look like

It does not need to be complicated.

You know a Head of Technology carrying an open role.

You introduce us.

I have a useful conversation with them.

If it later becomes a qualifying search and placement, the reward applies.

If the introduction creates value

I share some of it.

Does it qualify?

The simple version.

Usually yes

A new relationship.
A genuinely re-opened relationship.
Your introduction gives me access I did not already have.
The person knows you are making the introduction.

Usually no

I am already actively working with them.
There is already an active route into the account.
The introduction is made without their knowledge.

Make the introduction

Who came to mind?

You do not need to write a perfect introduction.

Who they are
Why they came to mind
How you would like me to handle it

Only share their contact details if they’re comfortable with that.
If not, just tell me who came to mind and why, we can work out the introduction together.
