Client Testimonials

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.

"Having worked with Dan for over 7 years, I have found him to be one of the most agile Supply Chain and Procurement recruitment specialists I’ve dealt with. His attention to detail, ability to identify the right fit – almost with a sixth sense - and his knowledge of the wider industry ensures the best candidate selections are brought forward – a vital service component when time is precious and talent is hard to find. I highly recommend Dan as the solutions provider of choice to fill those challenging Supply Chain and procurement roles."

"I’ve worked with Dan previously and he was the main reason I used Tribe for this role. Dan moved things quickly and all worked out for us in the end and I was glad to have the outside help to push this through. It was a critical role and one that myself and the team needed expert experience."

"After 9 senior roles were approved to hire as a part of a significant transformation and acceleration of our procurement team, we evaluated several top specialist search firms including Tribe for the delivery of this project. Tribe were appointed to the delivery of this project based off their business partnering focus, specialist knowledge in the team, and delivery model.

They executed to their SLA’s perfectly, and continued to partner and advise rather than ‘sell’ throughout the whole process. Prior to this engagement, our senior leaders and recruitment team had little understanding or relationship with Tribe. After their delivery, they cannot speak highly enough of them nor would we hesitate to use them again for any Procurement resourcing.

The fact that they were able to execute in a market as depleted as this, makes their delivery all the more impressive."

Ryan Mulholland - Talent Business Partner, One New Zealand

REM Systems

“We have engaged Tribe for several positions in our Purchasing department. We were impressed from the first moment when we started the process: from asking proper questions, professional and rigorous process, asking for full job description and matching adequate candidates exactly as per our requirements. They listen, they promise, they deliver."

"Tribe were brilliant, three vacant roles, three placements and all perfectly skill set matched. I dealt with Joe Francis, he was great, followed up with me, checked in, put forward great candidates and was a pleasure to work with Joe and Tribe"

Louise Denham - National Supply Chain Manager, New Zealand Blood Service

Rocket Foods LTD

"Joe is an asset to your company. His knowledge of his field and understanding of who we were looking for produced the best candidate."

Matesha Ababa - Chief Operating Officer, Rocket Foods Limited

"Joe is an amazing consultant, and I would highly recommend him to any company seeking high quality candidates."
