“We were having real difficulty filling a role … Working with Taumata made a huge difference. Their approach helped us reach candidates we wouldn’t have found on our own and gave us a much stronger shortlist. They made the whole process easy…Communication was clear, friendly, and always timely…. Most importantly, we found the right person for the role, someone we may have otherwise overlooked. Taumata genuinely went the extra mile, asked the right questions, and were a great sounding board throughout. Their support, care, and down‑to‑earth approach really stood out, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”

“John supported me through every stage of my appointment with clarity and care. The process was smooth, respectful, and well run. His insight and dedication made all the difference.”

“In my career I have worked with many agencies both as client and applicant… Very recently I have been involved as an applicant for an executive high profile role, run by Taumata and led by John Bell. This has been the most professional process I have been involved in,  very informative, upfront, and reactive…I have no hesitation in recommending Taumata, and in particular for those executive roles requiring the highest level of professionalism and support.”

“Naomi quickly earned our trust by delivering a service that felt both personal and professional. Her ability to understand what we needed—and to act on that with care and integrity—really set her apart. While many recruiters are capable, not all take the time to match the right person with the right role. Naomi did! We’d be more than happy to work with her again and would confidently recommend her to others, particularly for those hard-to-fill or specialist positions.

“We engaged Taumata to appoint a new Chief Executive. John and Dave quickly understood our needs and brought forward exceptional, well-considered candidates. Their insight, professionalism and process leadership were first-class.”
