You’re not wading through a talent pool anymore.

You’re bracing yourself for the tidal wave.

Jobseekers are increasingly using AI tools and if you don’t modernise, your talent team will be stuck drowning in CVs.

Our AI recruitment agent is the tech you need to stay afloat.

It’s time to stop hiring like it’s 1996.

Great hiring doesn't have to be this hard.

We recently polled HR pros and the results are clear - 45% are struggling to find the right candidates, and 15% say slow hiring is actively holding their growth back.

Our AI-powered recruitment agent is designed to be your unfair advantage. It identifies, vets, and delivers top talent in a fraction of the time.

Off The Record: “I think it's really easy to get to the day before an interview and be like, 'Oh, the interview's tomorrow and I haven't done anything.'”

Hannah Consitt discusses the importance of intentional preparation for hiring managers. Showing up is only half the battle, and respecting a candidate's time starts long before the interview begins.

Is AI actually making human connection more valuable?

Alex Olley thinks so. He says that while AI can automate your busywork, it absolutely cannot replace the human element that drives a successful sales process.

Finding support workers with the perfect mix of grit, empathy, and integrity is incredibly tough.

For NDIS providers like SEQUAL, hiring the right person directly impacts the clients they support.

But your talent team doesn’t have to do ALL the heavy lifting to find those dedicated candidates.

By partnering with the Hero Foundation, businesses get access to pre-vetted candidates who are genuinely motivated and prepared for the role, for free.

It reduces the operational and financial headache of posting job ads and screening hundreds of resumes, so you can focus on finding the candidates with the right skills and attitude.

"Stop thinking there is some magic powder that you can sprinkle over your business to make it sell more, and really go back to basics.”

In our latest article, author and digital marketing expert Kate Toon breaks down why the “pushy hard sell” no longer works.

She offers a highly practical framework to help business owners escape marketing land, uncover what their buyers actually want, and build a cohort of loyal customers without the sleaze.

What can business leaders learn from elite sports teams?

At our recent Hero Exchange Leaders' Lunch, brilliantly moderated by Courtney Pomerenke, we explored the intersection of elite sports and business growth with Manly Warringah Sea Eagles CEO Jason King and our Global Head of Talent Kate Jolly.

The biggest takeaway of the day: workplaces can benefit from the basic disciplines of high performance sport.

As Jason King pointed out, elite teams thrive on brutal, ego-free accountability. So how do you bring that mindset into your business?

✅ Discipline builds trust: Simple, non-negotiable standards, like arriving to meetings on time and greeting your team every day, build the baseline of respect required to push people harder.

✅ Feedback is not a personal attack: Elite athletes review game tape and expect blunt feedback to improve. Workplaces can benefit from that same level of radical, ego-free candour.

✅ Top performers require recovery: You cannot expect your team to run at 100% capacity year round without providing the proper tools, coaching, and rest periods that athletes rely on.

High performance is not an accident. It’s a system.

A huge thank you to Jason, Kate, Courtney, and everyone who joined us at Capella Sydney for such a thought provoking afternoon!

We're halfway through 2026. How's it actually going?

We asked business owners and HR pros, and the results were eye-opening.

Only 11% feel like they're truly hitting their stride. More than half said they're overwhelmed and stretched thin.

The good news? It doesn't have to stay that way.

When the right tools handle your admin and HR busywork, your team gets to focus on the work that actually moves the needle.

Our AI-powered Employment Operating System takes the heavy lifting off your plate, so you can stop running on empty and start running at full potential.

Building the future of work takes a village. 🚀

Over the past few weeks, Employment Hero has partnered with incredible brands and communities to bring together founders, people leaders and business decision makers for a series of impactful events across NZ.

Here’s what we’ve been up to:

✅ Going behind the scenes for an exclusive experience at Eden Park alongside Airwallex and the Blues.

✅ Sponsoring TechWeek'26 and hosting senior leadership discussions on AI and People Ops.

✅ Running intimate founder roundtables with Caffeine focused on scaling teams and workplace culture.

These conversations matter. They create space for leaders to connect, share challenges and explore how technology, AI and great people practices are reshaping the way businesses grow.

A huge thank you to our partners, attendees and speakers including James Keene and Neil Webster for helping drive these discussions forward.
