Recruitment
Leaders who fit. Careers that land.
Boutique recruitment for legal professionals and senior leaders across New Zealand.
Wilco is a boutique recruitment agency specialising in legal and leadership placements. We connect top-tier talent with leading law firms and organisations across New Zealand.
We place exceptional lawyers into private practice and in-house roles, and outstanding senior leaders across commercial sectors.
What is Wilco
We’ve built careers in the industries we recruit for, and held leadership positions. With a background in legal practice in New Zealand and overseas, and over a decade in recruitment, we understand what makes a hire stick and a career move land.
Our process is sharp, efficient, and built on relationships - not transactions.
What sets us apart
Why Wilco
More than a decade recruiting lawyers and senior leaders. Over six years in legal practice.
We’ve practised law in New Zealand and Singapore. We’ve recruited lawyers at every level and placed senior leaders across accounting, finance, sales, marketing, and tech. We’ve worked agency-side and in-house, managed teams, and had a seat at the leadership table.
That dual perspective - professional practice and recruitment expertise - means we don’t just fill roles. We read the room, the culture, and the career arc.
For clients
No padding, no wasted shortlists, no surprises at offer stage. Every candidate we present has been assessed against the brief, the culture, and where your organisation is heading. We tell you the truth - even when it’s not what you want to hear - because that’s how the best outcomes are reached.
For candidates
A recruiter who understands high-stakes careers, knows your market, and has the network to put the right opportunity in front of you.
