New Zealand-based recruitment firm Frog Recruitment announced that it has acquired Capital Recruitment.

Capital Recruitment, established in 2005 in Wellington, New Zealand, operates across a wide variety of sectors and is a public sector specialist.

Shannon Barlow, Frog Recruitment Managing Director New Zealand says the two agencies ‘are delighted’ to consolidate their businesses under the Frog brand after over three years of partnering on recruitment projects across New Zealand.

“The cross flow of opportunities between offices will continue with the Wellington team accessing Frog’s leading technology systems and sophisticated recruitment sourcing tools that we are known for in the market,” Barlow said.

Part of the All of Government panel, the agencies jointly led the recruitment of call centre staff for the swiftly established Ministry of Health national close contact centre last year.

Frog’s current portfolio includes government entities Ministry of Education, NZ Post and MBIE (Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment), and clients with accounting, business support, HR, legal support, sales, supply chain and tech roles. Capital Recruitment has over 20 years of experience as a specialised government sector recruiter in policy and project management.

Frog Recruitment merged with Australian-owned recruitment firm, People2people in 2019. The recruitment firm has 110 staff in offices across Australia and New Zealand in Auckland, Wellington, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
