Creating Ripples of Positive Impact
At Ripple Recruitment, we help businesses build high-performing teams and empower job seekers to find roles where they can thrive. We combine small-team agility with national reach, delivering hands-on support and broad access to top talent across New Zealand.
Our approach is personal, strategic, and values-driven – because we believe that small actions create ripples of positive impact for our clients, candidates, and communities.
Our Story
Ripple Recruitment was founded on the principle that recruitment should be simple, ethical, and effective. Kayleen, our founder, noticed that many businesses struggled to find the right talent, while candidates often missed opportunities because recruitment felt impersonal or transactional.
That inspired a different approach: a recruitment agency that treats every connection with care, integrity, and accountability. Today, Ripple continues that mission, helping companies and individuals achieve the right outcomes – every time.
We take pride in building long-term relationships, not just filling vacancies. Our team invests the time to understand your needs, culture, and goals – whether you’re hiring or seeking your next opportunity.
Why Ripple Recruitment?
We’re different because we combine strategy with personal service.
✅ For Employers: We simplify hiring by matching you with the right people, fast. Our rigorous screening ensures candidates are not just skilled, but the right fit for your culture.
✅ For Candidates: We help you navigate opportunities with confidence, representing your skills and potential to the companies that value them most.
We focus on long-term relationships, building trust and transparency every step of the way. Because the right hire or the right role shouldn’t be left to chance.
Our Service and Standards
Our service is guided by Christian principles, which shape how we operate, the relationships we build, and the support we provide. Central to these principles is the belief in the inherent worth of every person – fostering connection, respect, and inclusivity in everything we do.
✝️ Through our Faith Filter, every decision, action, and interaction reflects integrity, empathy, and care. We actively seek to create meaningful relationships with all individuals and organisations, welcoming everyone who seeks guidance, opportunity, and support.
What sets Ripple apart is this combination of professionalism and purpose – connecting top talent with the right opportunities and creating lasting value for businesses. Our Christian values drive us to serve with intention, helping our clients create inclusive, supportive, and thriving workplaces that support vibrant communities.
To reflect our values and serve the wider community, we allocate a portion of all billable services to our community focused Passion Projects through Kindness and contributions to The Hibiscus Coast Salvation Army.
OUR VISION
To be New Zealand’s preferred partner for recruitment, human resource management, workplace training and development, and health, safety, and wellbeing services – consistently delivering value through ethical, people-focused practices.
OUR MISSION
We connect top talent with the right opportunities, creating value for businesses, empowering individuals, and enriching communities. At Ripple Recruitment, we achieve this through ethical, people-focused recruitment practices, anchored in integrity, and delivered with passion and dedication.
OUR VALUES

🟢 A – Ask, don’t assume
🟡 B – Be curious, not credulous
🔵 C – Check everything, trust wisely
Together, DELIVER + ABC reflect our commitment to doing things the right way – for our clients, candidates, and team.
