How
we got
started.

First Base People + Potential was launched with the goal of helping Kiwi businesses and job seekers come together. With backgrounds in civil construction and business management, our team noticed that there were many agencies available for general workers, but few that focused on tradies and vocational work. 

For New Zealand companies, we wanted to help take some of the load off of recruiting, training, and retaining good workers. By handling these essential services, businesses can focus on what they do best and not have to be concerned about spending time preparing interviews and talking to candidates who don’t have the skills or abilities that they need for the position. 

For New Zealand job searchers, we wanted to help them become prepared and ready to work. By providing helpful resources like CV and Cover letter templates, market trends, and updates to employment law, job seekers find the information they need and then apply for jobs straight from our site. 

We are always looking to add more New Zealand businesses and job searchers to our network so that we can make a better workplace for everyone.
