How Standup Recruitment became the Trans-Tasman bridge for New Zealand workers and Australian employers.

The Beginning
Founder, Les Wikiriwhi was frustrated by how hard it was for Kiwis to make the move across the ditch, that’s where Stand Up Recruitment was born. What started as one man’s mission quickly turned into a bigger vision: to create a clear, reliable pathway for New Zealand’s top talent to connect with Australia’s top businesses.

Building the System
We refined our process, tested our first relocations, and proved the model worked. From job placements to relocation support, we built a system that made moving not just possible, but smooth for both clients and candidates.

Growth & Recognition
Stand Up Recruitment became the go-to relocation service for Kiwis wanting to move across the ditch and the Trans-Tasman bridge was built. With more clients, more candidates, and bigger partnerships, we cemented ourselves as the only premium service of its kind. Our mission grew beyond recruitment, it became about discipline, leadership, and building legacies for the people we move and the companies we serve.
