Heather Kerr

A bit about me

I arrived in New Zealand in 2008 after spending most of my life in England and France. In 2016, I returned to the UK briefly and stumbled across a Facebook ad from a Kiwi moving back to New Zealand, looking for someone to take over her role as a Recruitment Resourcer in London – and that’s how my journey into recruitment began!

In 2017, I returned to New Zealand and joined Madison, initially supporting recruitment in the government sector. I’m now part of our Professional Services team, where I specialise in contractor and senior-level roles within the government space.

My focus is on truly understanding the needs of both clients and candidates to deliver tailored recruitment solutions that add long-term value. Building lasting, genuine relationships is at the heart of what I do – ensuring a positive experience across every step of the recruitment process.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me out on a walk, in the garden, or spending time with my two energetic little boys!
