The posting

Do you enjoy judging people professionally?

Perfect. We’ll pay you for it.

Before anyone gets offended - we mean it in the best possible way.

SmartGrass is scaling nationwide, and we’re unapologetically selective about who joins our team. We don’t hire “good enough.” We hire people who raise the standard.

Right now, recruitment sits across leadership. It works - but growth demands a specialist.

We’re looking for an experienced Talent Acquisition Lead to take full ownership of our hiring function and build the team that builds SmartGrass.

This isn’t about posting ads and waiting. It’s about recognising exceptional talent, proactively finding it, and building a recruitment function that supports a high-growth business.

What You’ll Own

  • End-to-end recruitment across NZ
  • Proactive sourcing and headhunting of high-calibre talent
  • Screening, interviewing and assessing candidates across multiple business functions
  • Partnering with our marketing team on targeted recruitment campaigns
  • Continuous improvement of recruitment systems and processes (including AI integration)
  • Delivering realistic job previews and maintaining high hiring standards
  • Offers, pre-start experience and onboarding oversight
  • The opportunity to expand into broader people and HR leadership responsibilities as the business grows
  • Hiring a large diversity of roles - from our salt-of-the-earth installers, to our legends-in-loafers leadership team.

You’ll be given the autonomy to shape how recruitment is run - with leadership support and clear expectations around quality and performance.

Who This Will Suit

This is not an entry-level recruitment role.

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has significant experience leading recruitment in-house or at a senior agency level
  • Brings established professional networks
  • Is confident assessing talent at all levels of the business
  • Understands what high performance looks like
  • Is commercially minded and growth-focused
  • Wants ownership, accountability and influence

Why SmartGrass?

  • A growing, nationwide business with meaningful hiring volume
  • Direct access to the Managing Director
  • High-trust, high-autonomy environment
  • The opportunity to build and shape your own function
  • Flexibile working arrangements for the right person
  • Strong onboarding and internal training to ensure you understand the business, the roles, and what “great” looks like at SmartGrass
  • Access to external people and organisational support to help sharpen hiring decisions and build strong talent practices
  • The ability to directly influence the trajectory of the business

Our Head Office is based in Christchurch (HQ), however this role can be based in Auckland or Wellington as we recruit across all regions. For the right person, there is flexibility around hybrid working arrangements.

If you’re the type of recruiter who loves finding the needle in the haystack - and refuses to settle for second-best - we’d love to hear from you.

P.S. If this isn’t you, send it to the most terrifyingly competent recruiter you know. You know exactly who we mean.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
