The Do's & Don'ts of using Māori Culture in the Recruitment & Interview Process

In this honest and practical conversation, we bring together two highly respected leaders who offer perspectives from both the recruitment and Māori governance and leadership worlds.

Together, Amy Tea and Gina Rangi will discuss:

• How organisations can create culturally safe and welcoming recruitment experiences.
• Practical ways to incorporate tikanga Māori appropriately into interview processes.
• Common cultural mistakes organisations make when engaging with Māori candidates and how to avoid them.
• Whether traditional recruitment approaches unintentionally disadvantage Māori applicants.
• What organisations should avoid asking, assuming or doing during recruitment.
• How HR and people leaders can respond appropriately when they make cultural mistakes.
• Practical “quick wins” that organisations can implement immediately.
• What Māori candidates can expect, how to engage with tikanga elements in interviews, and what to do – and not do – as an interviewee.
