About Decipher Group
Decipher Group is a values-led recruitment consultancy where Recruitment with Heart is at the centre of everything we do. Since 2008, we have partnered with organisations across New Zealand and internationally to connect outstanding talent with businesses where they can truly thrive. For us, recruitment is about more than filling roles – it’s about building genuine relationships, acting with integrity, and enabling long-term success for our clients and candidates.
With a recent refinement to our operating model, we are looking to welcome a capable and experienced Administration Assistant to our team.
About the opportunity
This role is well suited to someone who enjoys being the backbone of a business, can hit the ground running, and takes genuine pride in supporting others. We are looking for a proactive, capable administrator who will complement our established team and contribute positively to our culture.
Reporting to the Business Operations Manager, you will provide high-quality general administrative support to our recruitment consultants and the wider business. You will also provide cover for the Business Operations Manager as required, ensuring continuity and smooth day-to-day operations.
Key responsibilities
  • General office and business administration
  • Administrative support to recruitment consultants
  • Managing databases, documentation, and records
  • Assisting with scheduling, correspondence, and reporting
  • Supporting internal processes, systems, and compliance
  • Providing cover for the Business Operations Manager when required
About you
We are seeking someone who:

  • Is organised, detail-focused, and reliable
  • Takes a proactive approach and anticipates what needs to be done
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office and general office systems, including social platforms
  • Is comfortable supporting a busy professional team

  • A supportive, experienced, and collaborative team
  • A trusted role with responsibility and variety
  • The opportunity to be part of a successful recruitment business that truly cares
