Our technology expertise covers all common IT groups with a variety of skills & job titles from permanent, contract and fixed term engagements. We pride ourselves on service.

Our Team
Erin Kelly
Co-Founder & Principal Consultant
Co-Founder & Principal Consultant of Socialite, Erin is the Operations Director & backbone of the company. Erin’s aim is to remove the barriers that divide the “recruiter” from the client during the recruitment process by harnessing the RPO model & offering onsite account management solutions.
In addition, Erin also offers end-to-end recruitment to her service portfolio, including targeted search, retained assignments & can help scale project teams on a contingent basis.
Her agency experience spans across London, Australia & New Zealand with a broad understanding of technology. She is fantastic at sourcing hard to find skills that many just simply give up on.
When she isn’t doing her day job, you’ll find her in the gym punching the crap out of a boxing bag, running or juggling her second job of negotiating between her two little boys.
Tasman
Chief Pooch
Our youngest member of the Socialite clan. We felt like we needed a furry little friend to join us in the office – so we went and picked up the cutest, cheekiest little lab ever!
Tasman likes chewing on pigs ears, sleeping under desks, kisses and hugs from us all – and our visitors. He is often found wondering around Te Aro Park with the locals (on a leash) and has brightened the day of many.
He’s not very good at recruiting but he’s the best at mellowing our typically manic team.
Lindsay Braganza
Co-Founder & Principal Consultant
Co-Founder & Principal Consultant of Socialite, Linz has worked as a Technical Recruiter in London, Australia and New Zealand. His extensive technical knowledge has enabled him to become a trusted advisor to his clients & candidates & he works collaboratively to achieve the best outcome.
He provides support across all technology verticals & is Socialite’s Account Director. Linz is possibly the most annoying person to walk the face of this earth with hundreds of poorly timed dad jokes & constant banter which drives his team mad!
When he isn’t smashing out phone calls, sending CV’s or hunting for business, you’ll find him on his kayak wrangling sharks, mountain biking, at the gym or fishing with his kids somewhere in the land of the long white cloud.
