We recently partnered with the team at Tribe to execute a search for an epic candidate to lead our Sales Operations and Strategy function. From the outset, Ben Horne made himself super available and brought a real energy to the search. We always felt well informed and the candidates he brought to the table were of high calibre.

The current climate made this a challenging position to fill, but Ben tackled it with great perseverance. His communication was top-notch throughout the entire process, keeping me informed and engaged. Not only did he find a fantastic candidate, but he was also genuinely nice and easy to work with. We would absolutely use Tribe again in the future.

Catherine Parlane | Head of Sales & Marketing

Where to start? I’m a big supporter of Tribe, its professionalism, and its people – they also helped me find my own professional ‘tribe’ and source brilliant people for my own Teams.

Long known for matching the right talent to the right opportunity and for comprehensively understanding his market, Cameron King successfully placed me with Momentum Life as Head of Direct Distribution, where a few short months later I was promoted to Chief Distribution Officer – a ‘win win’ for his client and for his candidate! My personal experience of Cameron’s approach to Senior/Executive level search and recruitment was one of flawless execution and outstanding communication every step of the way.  Truly ‘best in class’.

Now with two new Teams to build from scratch, Tribe again delivered the goods.  During this phase of my engagement with Tribe we have worked closely with Alex Rutherford, an outstanding professional whose consultative approach enabled my team to source over 20 New Business Consultants and two fantastic Sales Team Leaders.  Alex was able to draw upon her own prior career experiences, and tireless search activities, to provide us with the best in-market candidates available. Alex’s clients are fortunate that she typifies the very best client-facing approach - she’s a natural relationship-builder who delivers. Alex’s proactive and consultative professionalism has been a breath of fresh air and a great advertisement for Tribe and its organisational values.

Jonny Knox | Chief Distribution Officer, Momentum Life

We worked with Josh and Dan to recruit two crucial positions to launch our business into New Zealand. We had chosen to work with Tribe as upon meeting with them, they seemed fast-paced, energetic, proactive and no-nonsense. We also liked the effort they put in to helping us put our best foot forward in marketing our business. The results did not disappoint when they presented us with a list of high calibre candidates in record time! We look forward to working with them again.

Natalie Johnson | HR Lead, Calbee ANZ

Ben from Tribe was great to work with! He was efficient and communicated well through the whole process.  He helped us fill the role within 1 month from advertising to contract signed, which was ideal as we had a short timeframe to work with.

Sarah Fraser | Business Manager, Essano

Partnering with a client is something many providers claim to do, but few actually achieve. I found Tribe to absolutely be the exception. From my initial conversation with Cameron and throughout our interactions, I found Cameron and Suzie to be knowledgeable and client led. They were accessible, listened, and then went and did what they said they would: found us an excellent candidate. It's clear that they were acutely aware that their success was our success and worked hard to find us the right candidate. I would highly recommend working with them to anyone and would jump at the chance to do so again myself.

Adam Harvey, Business Performance Partner, The Learning Wave

"I have been working with Tribe for a number of years. Initially, they helped me to establish a new Sales & Marketing senior leadership team following an organisational restructure.  

Although working at NZ Post may not have immediately been at the top of potential candidates’ wish lists, the team at Tribe were able to articulate the opportunities these roles presented in order to secure a strong pool of candidates. In addition to understanding the specific skills and capabilities required, they were able to recruit to the desired team culture I was seeking to establish.  

The outcome is that we have established an extremely strong and collaborative leadership team with diverse and complementary skillsets. More than two years down the track that team is still together and delivering great results. 

We continue to use Tribe for external recruitment of key sales and marketing personnel."

Bryan Dobson - Chief Marketing Officer, NZ Post

"We recently engaged Tribe (Jenny and Cameron) to assist with the recruitment of a CEO for About Health Supplements Ltd. Following a short advertising and search campaign we were presented with three very diverse and highly capable candidates. All fitted the brief.  Working with Cameron who was our main contact, was a great experience. Regular communication and follow-up allowed us to be well informed throughout. I know Tribe is well respected by both client businesses and candidates. Recruitment decisions are some of the most critical and important you face in business. Tribe made the process easy and we trusted their insights along the way. Great follow-up after the candidate was placed was also excellent. 

We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Jenny, Cameron and the team at Tribe."

Peter Tinholt - Director, Oriens Capital

"With regard to our recent CMO appointment, you guys hit it out of the park – so thank you. Cameron is an absolute professional – he understood our needs and took the time to understand our business. The process was great with some really good candidates put forward!

Thanks again to Cam and the team! Great job."

John van Rensburg - CEO, Bevie

"I wish to take this opportunity to advise that the response to our recent announcement of the recruitment of CEO Bruce Pilbrow has been both humbling and outstanding. We enjoyed the journey through the briefing, interviews, and selection with you, the Tribe Group, who second-guessed what our Trust was seeking.

As we are a ‘not for profit’ organisation, you were empathetic in your approach for us. We were only presented with persons of high calibre which made for robust, considered, and easy decision making. You remained in constant touch with us and the communication and time frame culminated in a most successful outcome.

As we approach our 50^th Anniversary of operations in delivering life changing voyages to the Youth of the Nation, we are highly motivated to enter our next dynamic phase.

Thank you for the part you have played."

Steve Fisher - Chair, Spirit of Adventure

"Working with Tribe was a pleasure from start to finish. The process was seamless, with excellent communication and understanding of our needs, we received very high caliber candidates."

Lizzie Brett - Marketing Manager, House of Travel

"Tribe excelled and we were extremely happy with the candidates, the processes and the support from Tribe, especially Cameron."

Derek Slatter, Director - Tectrax

"Rachael and the Tribe team have been a delight to work with. In a challenging market they helped to find superstars to join our growing, purpose-driven team. Thank you for our partnership and supporting our success."

Charlotte Tremewan, Brand & Marketing Director, Tax Management NZ

"Rachael was great to work with - she asked insightful questions to help extract exactly what I was looking for in an ideal candidate. She listened clearly to my feedback after each interview, and would get new prospects through to me quickly. Rachael was always available to help, and once we wanted to make an offer, she guided that process through to a successful hire. I wouldn't hesitate to use Tribe and Rachael again in future."

Eleanor Buchan - GM Marketing, Electric Kiwi

Really taking the time and asking the right questions to get the brief on the role and candidate we are looking for, communication is always strong, and we always know where we are at in the process.

The candidates always arrive into our business on day one, well briefed and highly engaged from the support we have received from Tribe across the recruitment process.
