Joel Norris knows tech recruitment isn't just about filling roles - it's about getting the right people into the right places at the right time. Based in Wellington, he works with organisations across New Zealand that are hiring, scaling, and transforming, helping leadership teams secure talent across Software Engineering, Data, AI, DevOps, Infrastructure, and Cybersecurity. With a focus on building genuine partnerships, Joel helps tech teams scale high-performing functions, establish new capability, and solve complex hiring challenges - including tracking down those hard-to-find skillsets. He combines real market knowledge, salary benchmarking and an extensive tech network with a tailored approach that's built around each organisation's specific needs. At the heart of Joel's work is a simple belief: recruitment is fundamentally about trust. That means honest communication, meaningful feedback and a commitment to relationships that extend well beyond the placement. Outside of work, Joel can be found on Wellington's mountain bike trails, chasing snow on the ski slopes, or loudly backing the Broncos (yes, he's a Brisbane boy!) or hanging with his young family. He brings that same energy and dedication to every client and candidate he works with.
