About One Personnel

People First.Always.

A 100% New Zealand owned recruitment agency, built in Christchurch for the trades — and the people who power them.

Our Story

A couple of legends got fed up.

One Personnel worker on site, viewed from behindOur people

Fed up watching good people get treated like line items. Fed up seeing businesses struggle to find skilled workers — while those workers struggled to find someone who actually had their back.

"This isn't a call centre with a database. It's a team of people who actually know your industry, your pressures, and what good looks like on the tools."

So we built something different. A recruitment agency that advocates for the worker as hard as it works for the business. One that picks up the phone, tells the truth, and turns up when it matters.

Christchurch is our base. New Zealand is our home. These are our communities, our neighbours, our mates, our whānau. That means something to us — and it shows in the work.

One Personnel — People First. Always.
