Why Us

When you partner with Candidex, you’re backed by a team genuinely committed to your success. We have a proven record in finding the best talent for early childhood education, and our approach is always clear, focused, and outcome driven.

We build our success on deep sector expertise, truly understanding the needs of both employers and educators, across all of New Zealand. With our insight, we deliver tailored recruitment solutions that save you valuable time and money, allowing your team to focus on what matters most: delivering quality education.

We manage the entire recruitment process for you. If the right local candidate isn’t available, we lead the way in international teacher recruitment and are experts at navigating the Immigration New Zealand visa process. You’ll be supported every step of the way by your own consultant and account manager, complete with clear monthly reporting as needed.

We supply same day reliever cover, we make staffing simple, fast, and reliable. Our pre-vetted kaiako are ready to step in for planned leave or sudden absences.

Our ongoing work with the Ministry of Social Development and the Tuakana-Teina pilot isn’t just a program, it’s our investment in the future of Wellington and New Zealand. We choose to partner with the Ministry of Social Development because we believe in creating better opportunities for our local young people, supporting wellbeing, and breaking down barriers to employment. For us, recruitment is about community impact.

Candidex. Recruitment that’s simple, honest, and direct with proven results and a heart for your community.
