ALAN WARD, AUCKLAND UNIVERSITY; KEITH MUIRHEAD, AIR NEW ZEALAND & VICTORIA HAYWARD, BANK OF NEW ZEALAND
Inhouse teams and RPOs now dominate recruitment within major corporate and public sector organisations, and many recruitment centres and talent teams are involved in market mapping, succession planning, workforce development, onboarding and internal mobility programmes, thereby reducing the reliance on traditional agency services.
