Recognised for our staff tenure, our recruitment consultants are in it for the long haul. This long-standing expertise means we’ve had the privilege of partnering with organisations throughout their growth and assisting candidates on their career journeys.
In 2021, after nearly a decade as a member of our leadership and recruitment team, Julie Gilmore took the helm as our Managing Director. Under her leadership, we’ve not only continued our legacy of success, but we’ve flourished, reaching new heights of achievement and service excellence.
Supporting our community is central to our values. We partner with Assistance Dogs NZ, sponsor Canterbury Ice Hockey, and support various sports clubs in our community. We’re also proud members of Safe Space Alliance and Diversity Works promoting diversity in Aotearoa.
At Ryan, we believe we’re accountable for the effect our business practices have on the environment. We take a proactive approach and have built sustainability into our operations—for example, partnering with CarbonInvoice allows us to offset our carbon footprint whilst contributing to a more sustainable future for generations to come.
