Hudson upweights ICT team to meet increasing demand

Auckland – Wednesday 9 June 2010 – Leading recruitment and human resource consulting business, Hudson has made a number of new appointments to its ICT practice in Auckland and Wellington – making it one of the strongest specialist ICT recruitment line-ups in New Zealand.

John Coventry has been appointed director of Hudson’s national ICT practice, based in Wellington. He brings more than 20 years international experience to the role. He has been responsible for managing the resourcing of large specialist teams for some of the world’s leading technology companies, including Hewlett-Packard and British Telecommunications.

“A wave of demand for top quality ICT people is fast approaching as New Zealand businesses ramp up their IT investment post-recession and the government defines the way forward for large-scale projects, such as the government ultra-fast broadband plan,” says John.

“I look forward to working with the team to help high performing organisations succeed by attracting and retaining the best ICT people, and working with candidates to find opportunities to further their careers within our clients’ businesses.”

Annabelle Klap has been appointed as director of the highly skilled Auckland ICT practice, further supported by four new specialist ICT recruitment consultants. Annabelle comes to Hudson from another recruitment firm where she has specialised in ICT recruitment for five years, after a career in sales.

Her team, with 20 years combined ICT recruitment experience, includes new recruits Pri Sandhu, Kara Smith and Monica Mahendru, and Martin Wong with five years experience at Hudson.

“My team truly understands the skilled experts that are needed to help New Zealand businesses shift IT from a cost centre to a department that delivers real competitive advantage,” says Annabelle.
