Motion Recruitment was founded in Christchurch in 2011 with a simple purpose — to help people find work they love and help businesses find people who make a real difference.
After years working alongside people and businesses, founder Jason Seaward discovered the part he enjoyed most was creating the right connection. There was nothing more rewarding than helping someone find a role where they could succeed, feel valued, and build a future — while helping businesses find the people who would strengthen their teams.
Recruitment is about far more than filling positions. It’s about understanding people — their goals, values, strengths, and potential — and matching them with businesses where they can truly thrive.
Built on the values of People, Service, and Integrity, Motion Recruitment has grown from its Christchurch roots into a company supporting businesses and candidates across New Zealand, including our Auckland branch.
Six years ago, Jason’s son Jordan joined the business and has played a key role in driving Motion Recruitment forward, bringing new ideas, energy, and innovation while continuing the same people-first approach the company was built on.
Today, Motion Recruitment remains a family business with a national vision — to create genuine connections where everyone wins.
Because when the right person finds the right opportunity, businesses grow, people succeed, and lives change.
