Kelly George – HR recruitment specialist
With more than 25 years in the recruitment industry — and well over a decade dedicated solely to the Auckland People & Culture and HR market — my heart and soul truly lie in the New Zealand human resources recruitment arena. This is the space where I’ve built my career, my reputation, and countless long-standing relationships.
My successful placements have spanned disciplines, industries, and countries. Many have been life-changing for the people involved, and all have been a pleasure to follow as they contribute to New Zealand’s working landscape. I’ve placed more than 2,000 candidates, and some of my favourite moments are still the conversations shared over a coffee, hearing what they’ve learned and how they’ve grown — insights that make me even better at what I do.
Exceptional candidate care sits at the centre of my approach. I take the time to genuinely understand people — their careers, motivations, and aspirations. It’s why candidates often become clients, and clients often become candidates. These trusted, long-term relationships are something I value deeply and consider a true measure of success.
When I’m recruiting for you, here’s what you can expect:
- Unmatched knowledge of the most talented HR professionals in the Auckland and wider New Zealand market.
- Fully competency-based interviews, conducted in person wherever possible to ensure depth, accuracy, and genuine connection.
- A smooth, confident, and successful process — one that feels well-managed, transparent, and tailored to your needs.
I firmly believe honesty is the best policy. Integrity, transparency, and open communication guide every interaction — whether it’s discussing the realities of the market, what great talent looks like, or what’s required to secure it. I’ve consistently partnered with a wide range of clients across multiple industries and have enjoyed long-standing relationships with many inspirational leaders.
These industry leaders tell me they choose Ruby Recruit because I offer valuable insight, a highly connected network, and an unwavering commitment to people. In short, I have my finger on the pulse — and access to the very best HR talent in the market.
So what are you waiting for? I’d love to talk about how I can support you and your team.
