Madison is a proud supplier of recruitment services to government; we are an accredited All-of-Government (AoG) supplier and have had a positive, successful relationship with our government clients over many years. We offer a full range of recruitment services, as well consulting services to complement and support the employee lifecycle. 

The Public Service is the ultimate destination for those who want meaningful work, and the chance to make a difference in the lives of New Zealanders. The breadth and depth of jobs available within local and central government and across Aotearoa is huge. Whatever the role, a job in government offers rewarding employment; the opportunity to work in an organisation with a genuine commitment to inclusion and diversity and to give back to the community. 

With our focus on the candidate experience, and providing excellent customer services, we are the go-to agency for job seekers wanting to find their next public sector role, and government organisations who need to hire talented people to build their workforce.
