New Zealand Executive Job OutlookThe Association of Executive Search and Leadership Consultants has 10 member firms working out of New Zealand which employ about 30 executive headhunters, also known as recruiters. These AESC member executive recruiters in New Zealand specialize in finding top talent across a diverse group of industrial sectors, with a particular focus on the highest levels of management and most senior executive jobs in New Zealand.

Beyond the local market, AESC New Zealand executive search consultants work on international assignments, particularly serving the Asia-Pacific region which is projected to be the region with the highest growth in the executive search industry in the remainder of 2011. In its small but mature local executive search market, New Zealand executive recruiters serve companies such as Lion Nathan, Air New Zealand, Fonterra and the Guinness Peat Group.
