Microsoft recruitment in New Zealand, run the same way.
FERG Search recruits Microsoft AI, Dynamics 365, Business Central, Power Platform and Fabric roles in New Zealand, for Microsoft partners and the businesses that run Microsoft, permanent and contract. The search is run by the founder, Fintan Ferguson, with the same process as Australia.
The Microsoft market on both sides of the Tasman behaves as one pool: the same partners, the same programmes, the same people moving between Auckland, Wellington, Sydney and Melbourne. Treating New Zealand as an afterthought is how New Zealand briefs end up with Australian shortlists. We do not.
Three cities. One search.
Auckland
Most of the New Zealand briefs we work are Auckland seats: Copilot Studio and Dynamics 365 roles inside Microsoft partners, and Business Central and Power Platform roles for the businesses that run them. The first shortlist comes from people we already know across the city.
Wellington
Public sector programmes and the partners that deliver for them. Tell us the vetting or clearance the seat needs and whether the work can be done from Auckland or Christchurch, because the Wellington pool is small and the right person is often one city over.
Christchurch
A compact Microsoft market where Business Central, Dynamics 365 and Power Platform roles are often filled from a pool that spans both islands. We tell you early whether the person you need is in Christchurch or will need to be relocated or remote.
The same specialisms, both sides of the Tasman.
- Microsoft AI and agents: Copilot Studio builders, Microsoft Foundry engineers, AI architects, adoption leads.
- Dynamics 365: Customer Engagement, Finance and Operations, Field Service and Contact Center consultants, developers and architects.
- Business Central: functional consultants, leads, AL developers, cloud migrations.
- Power Platform: developers, architects, Dataverse specialists, governance leads.
- Microsoft Fabric and data: Fabric engineers, data architects, Power BI developers.
- Azure and integration: integration engineers, DevOps, cloud architects.
