About Us

Rising to the challenge. Leading the way. We don’t just lift the standards in government recruitment—we set them.

The Johnson Group is New Zealand's only specialist recruitment agency for government jobs. We work in the areas of management, administration and policy, and have built a strong reputation in the market for both our professional service and our personal touch. We go the extra distance to find the best fit for employers and candidates, listening, evaluating and carefully matching the needs of both parties.

We're members of the Recruitment and Consulting Services Association (RCSA), a professional body that sets out the guidelines and standards for recruiting in Australasia. You know we'll always be professional, ethical and responsive in everything we do.

The Johnson Group were awarded Highly Commended in the EEO Trust Work & Life Awards in 2009;  and the "Best CSR Development Initiative by a Small Business" in the 2008 RCSA CSR Awards. Join our talent community or one of our social networking sites listed below:

  I have worked with the Johnson Group for over 6 years. I like the fact they display a sense of social responsibility and I’ve been impressed by the professional yet personal service provided to me as a candidate and to prospective employers. The Johnson Group represent their candidates accurately and go the extra mile to ensure the best fit for all concerned. As Steven Covey says in his work about leadership, the one thing that changes everything in business is trust. I can recommend The Johnson Group as a Public Service Recruitment Agency that can be trusted – they are leaders in their field..
