We focus on creative and strategically driven recruitment solutions

Our
Story
At RWA People Ltd, our story is rooted in a long history of professional services, strong relationships, and a deep commitment to delivering meaningful outcomes

Originally established as a traditional consulting business in 2000, RWA was formally developed in 2007 to bring a sharper focus to IT recruitment and people solutions. Our journey has been shaped by decades of real-world experience in recruitment and contract resourcing solutions that continues to guide everything we do. We take a pragmatic, people-first approach, helping clients unlock tangible business value while supporting professionals to thrive in their careers.

Leadership transitions over the years, including the 2018 handover from founders Mike Hogg and Denis Parkinson, have allowed us to evolve while staying true to the values that shaped us: integrity, insight, and long-term relationships.

In more recent years, RWA is being led by Josh Halligan who is supported by an experienced leadership team focused on evolving our services beyond IT.

In response to the shifting needs of our clients, we have expanded to offer specialist recruitment in the finance and security sectors bringing the same people-centric, results-driven approach to these growing areas.

Another of our key ambitions is to extend our presence across more cities throughout New Zealand, by expanding into regions such as Canterbury, Otago, and beyond, we aim to provide more businesses with direct access to top-tier talent and give job seekers the benefit of local support backed by national reach. We believe being present in the communities we serve allows us to build deeper relationships, respond more effectively to regional needs, and create tailored solutions that reflect the unique character of each market.

We continue to innovate by engaging with clients and candidates to tailor solutions that truly fit. Whether you’re a business looking for the right talent or a job seeker ready for your next move, we’re here to make the journey positive and rewarding.
Our strength lies in our team: a group of dedicated and experienced practitioners who are passionate about matching the right people with the right opportunities.
