A trusted source of outstanding executive talent in New Zealand

Search for current jobs

Let us introduce ourselves...

Farrow Jamieson was founded in Auckland in 1985 by Tony Farrow and Charlie Jamieson, who saw a need for dedicated executive search in Aotearoa New Zealand, and a values driven approach. They decided to use the owl as their logo (inspired by a trip to Athens) representing wisdom. This has since been expanded to include the four WISE values outlined below.  Clients and candidates repeatedly tell us how the values apply to an outstanding recruitment experience.


With clients up and down the motu, a South Island office was opened in Otautahi Christchurch in 2001.


Since then Farrow Jamieson has operated as one national team, with specialist consultants in both locations serving clients from Kaitaia to Invercargill.


Managing Director, Iain MacGibbon has led the team since 1991, with a clear vision of being a trusted partner in delivering outstanding executive talent to our clients time and again.

We are in the incredibly fortunate position of being in the middle when magic happens.

A client is presented with a candidate that they may not have otherwise seen.
