Our values
Whanonga pono
Building and maintaining great relationships, that’s why we’re here
We are a like-minded group of people who together, thought long and hard about our values. We wanted values that reflect how we work and who we are.
The heart of our values are in building and maintaining great relationships. To do this, we promise to:
- Do the right thing. Always
- Listen to understand
- Collaborate to Innovate
- Be true. Be honest. Be Authentic
- Make a difference, no matter how small
We hope all those who work with us, can see we live and breathe our values, as this is who we are.
Equal opportunity
We proudly promote equal opportunity, working closely with our clients to encourage collaborative, inclusive and diverse working environments.

Paying it forward
Paying it forward is important to all of us at Likemind. That's why for every placement we provide, we make a donation to Pet Refuge to care for pets affected by domestic violence.
In support of diversity and inclusion, we also make regular donations to help Gift a Safe Night and Rainbow Youth.
Pet Refuge was established to provide temporary shelter for pets affected by domestic violence, keeping them safe while their owners escape abuse.
Gift a Safe Night is run by Women's Refuge.
Every night, over 200 women & children in New Zealand need a safe place to escape to.
Gifting a Safe Night helps the victims of family violence by booking a room for someone you’ll never meet, in a place you’ll hopefully never visit.
Rainbow Youth provides support, information, resources & advocacy for Aotearoa’s queer, gender diverse, takatāpui and intersex youth.
Their motto resonates so much with us - “Whāia tō ake ngākaunui, i te pono, i te mārama. Know who you are, be who you are”.
Out of all the recruiting companies I have been through, Likemind has been the one with which I've had the best experience and connection on a personal level.
Thanks to you and your team for the opportunity with your client. You have in place a very professional setup to support prospective candidates. I have dealt with a couple of recruitment companies in past roles, and none come close to the service and efficient, supportive communication you have provided.
It is a pleasure to work with you and I remain hugely impressed with the calibre of people you are finding for our roles in a tight market. You have a real talent for matching people to the roles, both in terms of skills and experience and personality fit for the role. Long may we continue to work together.
It is so nice to be with an agency that actually cares and is real. I want to commend you on the amazing genuine way you have taken me on the Likemind journey. From the constant communication about where the role was at, to checking in with me has been faultless on your part...I will be recommending my colleagues to be part of Likemind.
We can’t sing your praises highly enough! You are landing excellent candidates at speed and we are very grateful
From my perspective you have been an amazing team to work with, communicative, responsive and very pro-active. I couldn’t ask for more.
Thank you Kim! I was so anxious about returning to work as a working mum, at the time when Jonny responded to my LinkedIn post I'd already had potential employers question whether I'd be looking after my daughter while working, or pushing me to accept more hours or less pay. It meant all the world to me to have you two confidently backing me up. I really do appreciate it.
