WHO ARE SUMMIT EXECUTIVE SEARCH?
Summit is your executive talent hunter.
We specialise in search recruitment, which means we use our expertise in the talent market to find the best candidate for you. This includes approaching what we call passive candidates – those who are currently in roles but open to opportunities. Because let’s be honest, how often are the best people for the job actively hunting for jobs at just the time you need?
We use a robust process developed over 14 years to recruit executive roles. One built around discretion, consultation and gaining a thorough understanding of the needs of both our clients and the candidate.
We always look at people’s values when we are recruiting. And we couldn’t do this without reflecting on our own. At Summit, we believe in social good, in strong ethics, in supporting diversity, in helping our beautiful country prosper – both economically and environmentally. We love working with clients with similar values, building relationships that outlast a role being filled. We believe business is about people, and we like to surround ourselves with good ones.
We love what we do. It is a privilege to help great Kiwi companies appoint key executives to drive business success.


“Philippa was a critical partner in helping grow our technology function several fold over in a short period of time. She proactively developed a deep understanding of our business which she turned into an exceptional representation of our brand in the market. We truly felt that she was part of the team and deeply invested in our success. A true partner in recruitment at all levels.”
