The quality of relationships extends past the engagements between people. It is the process of establishing and maintaining meaningful, reciprocal, and respectful relationships.

As a Māori owned and operated business, we are guided by principles of building relationships that serve and strengthen each member of our community.

We want to support our Clients and our Candidates to have positive workplace partnerships.

While we lead with Māori values, principles and perspectives in the way we operate, we understand the cultural diversity of which we belong, and the industries we operate in.

We welcome every individual to come as they are, and to feel empowered in their abilities, skills, and experiences to make valued and meaningful contributions in employment that is sustainable and secure.

We aim to work towards an ethic of care for our clients and candidates that is based on integrity, support, and respect.

The nature of Rangatiratanga is often applied to leadership and is seen as having courage, being assertive, determined, and persistent, exercising problem solving skills and applying these factors to achieve greatness for each other.

'Ranga' means to weave, and 'Tira' is a small party or collective of travellers.

In our context at Ahikā Recruitment, we like to apply Rangatiratanga as the ability to have courage in the pursuit of success towards secure and sustainable futures, weaving together the potential for greatness, wellbeing, and sense of value.

“Te wero” holds deep cultural significance as a challenge or invitation, often associated with a ceremonial challenge or a call to action.
This concept goes beyond mere competition; it embodies respect, honour, and the
forging of connections through shared experience and mutual respect.

It encapsulates a profound cultural ethos of testing one's limits, demonstrating courage, and fostering growth through adversity.
 

Embracing challenges promoting respect and integrity, cultural sensitivity and inclusivity, encouraging personal and professional development, differentiation and competitive advantage.

We cultivate a dynamic organisational culture that thrives on challenges, respects diverse perspectives, and fosters continuous development.

Embracing "te wero" enables businesses to not only navigate uncertainties but also emerge stronger, more resilient, and better
equipped to seize opportunities in an increasingly complex global landscape.

We pursue excellence, we strive for excellence, and we get results.
