Mike Messenger

With over 11 years of experience in Technology and Digital recruitment, Mike is one of those rare recruiters who truly gets tech – because he’s lived it. Before recruitment, he spent 12 years in the Telecommunications sector, holding leadership, relationship management, and channel management roles. It’s safe to say he can both talk the talk and walk the walk which makes him one of the best tech recruiters you will find.

At Consult, Mike is recognised as a thoughtful leader, a trusted advisor, and a domain expert in his field. He specialises in recruiting across PMO, Business Analysis, Change, Software Development, Testing, Architecture, Network/Systems/Cloud Engineering, DevOps, and Product.

Throughout his career, Mike has built trusted, long-lasting relationships with some of New Zealand’ and global best-known brands – across industries including Insurance, Telecommunications, Financial Services, Aged Care, SaaS, MSP, Transport, Agriculture, IoT, Retail, Healthcare, Warehousing, and Robotics.

Mike’s excellence has been recognised with multiple Super Achiever Awards (2016, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022).

Outside of work, Mike enjoys spending time with his partner Courtney and their son George. He’s an enthusiastic (if self-confessedly average) Football, Cricket, and Golf player and an Arsenal fan through and through – used to watching them finish second most seasons. A passionate traveller, Mike has explored over 30 countries, with Egypt holding the top spot as his favourite destination so far.
