Recruitment & HR Services

New Zealand’s primary sector supply chain is quickly evolving into a modern, technology-driven industry with broadening demands for recruitment and HR. Inspired by this evolution and Rural Directions’ expanded focus reaching ever further beyond the farm gate, we felt it timely to reimagine our branding to better represent our people, our place, and how we help careers and businesses grow.

Our new branding represents a fresh Rural Directions with a clean, modern typeface and a deeper story of our service and our roots told through the curved symbolic RD emblem. Within this we see a path leading to a crossroad, symbolising the career paths and opportunities we facilitate. As a proud Hawkes’ Bay, New Zealand business, a koru shape within this emblem symbolises our anchor to the land and its history. The soft orange curves take inspiration from the undulating earth our industry is rooted in, and the upward ’tilt’ of the emblem – like a tilted map – draws the eye upward, forward, onward towards a new direction. We look forward to joining you on yours.

The experienced team at Rural Directions has been delivering recruitment and HR services to the primary sector for close to 20 years and we maintain those grounded values. Our brand evolution includes how we do business, the systems we deploy, our people, the knowledge we impart and the outcomes we drive for your business and ours.
