Welcome to Henson Recruitment NZ – a boutique FMCG & Consumer Retail recruitment consultancy unearthing the very best Sales, Marketing, Category & NPD talent across New Zealand. Henson Recruitment NZ provides first class recruitment solutions for permanent opportunities for your business along with an honest and transparent approach whilst delivering the candidate experience every candidate needs throughout the process. Henson Recruitment launched it’s first operation in the UK in January 2016 and has since successfully partnered a number of high-profile and well-known FMCG businesses across Branded and Own Label categories and continues to build on these relationships going forward.

In September 2021, Henson Recruitment NZ was launched after business owner Craig Henson moved to Auckland from the UK and endeavours to mirror the UK success within the NZ FMCG and Consumer Retail market.

The Point of Difference
  1. FMCG businesses use Craig because of his wealth of experience and the fact that someone with such a high level of experience (18yrs), still personally headhunts and unearths talent – which is refreshing and distances himself from other recruiters. Craig provides 1st class recruitment solutions for permanent opportunities for your business along with an honest and transparent approach whilst delivering the candidate experience every candidate deserves throughout the process.
  2. Being relatively new to the NZ market, Craig is not limited to companies that he can target talent from versus the larger recruitment houses who have endless client lists and whether contractually or ethically, cannot approach talent from these businesses because of the client relationship already in place.
  3. Craig has full access to the LinkedIn community as he is not limited to usage or reach where other recruitment companies have to share the LinkedIn licence between their consultants - limiting each user.
