Rebel Recruitment

Rebel Recruitment is a New Zealand recruitment business that works in the construction and engineering sectors. It fills permanent roles and places professionals as freelance contractors. It says its mission is to keep New Zealand's talent working in the country rather than seeking opportunities overseas. Its head office is in Christchurch.

The company was founded by Duncan Hasson, who worked as a freelancer in the UK for 15 years and comes from a long line of engineers and construction professionals. The company says its team has built and worked alongside freelancers on UK projects including Crossrail and Terminal 5 at Heathrow, and has experience in New Zealand and global markets.

Freelancers are backed by XL Strategy, the company's own in-house coaching and development business, which provides mentorship, training and career development.
