Some people are naturally curious. Max is one of them.

He enjoys getting to know people, hearing their stories and understanding what drives them. Whether it's helping someone take the next step in their career or working with a client to build the right team, he believes the best outcomes always start with understanding what success really looks like.

Max specialises in recruiting professionals across New Zealand's construction sector and brings a broad background spanning recruitment, operations and business leadership. Throughout his career, he's recruited across construction, engineering and project management, led teams of more than 70 people, managed complex workforce operations and helped businesses improve the way they attract, organise and develop their people. That combination of commercial and people experience means he understands that every hiring decision matters. The right person helps a business grow. The wrong one costs time, money and momentum. That's why he invests the time upfront to ask the right questions, challenge assumptions where needed and make introductions with confidence.

What Max enjoys most about construction is the people. It's an industry built on trust, relationships and backing your word, and that's exactly how he approaches recruitment. Straightforward, honest and focused on building long-term relationships, he wants clients and candidates to know they'll always get genuine advice and someone who follows through on what they say they'll do.

Outside of work, Max enjoys football, travelling and making the most of New Zealand's outdoors. Whether he's helping a business grow its team or supporting someone through their next career move, his approach is simple: listen first, be honest, and always leave people better informed than when the conversation started.
