Presenter Details
Kimmi Deys, Beyond Recruitment
Kimmi has built her career across recruitment, real estate, and retail management, gaining over 10 years of hands-on experience along the way. She's had the opportunity to lead teams, grow businesses, and consistently deliver strong results, whether that’s improving profitability or creating great experiences for clients and customers.

Kirsty Clarke, Beyond Recruitment
KIrsty started off my career on the academic path, doing tutoring/junior lecturing in history of health at Otago University. After moving to London, she joined an HR consultancy where she led a team to create and implement outsourced recruitment solutions for a large UK retailer. From 2016-2020 she provided Executive Search and OD advisory for clients across the UK and Europe. Her clients spanned private sector (including FTSE50), organisations at the interface of private and public sector, local authorities, and central government departments. She returned to New Zealand “by accident” in 2020 – extending a two-week holiday over lockdown, and ultimately deciding that Te Whanganui-a-Tara was pretty hard to beat! She joined Beyond Recruitment’s Government & Policy team during a period of huge change and a talent shortage – what a fantastic insight that provided into our public service and the important work being done by kaimahi across the board.
Sarah Prior, Site Safe
