Founded by Meta and Lesa Tyrell

Meta and Lesa founded Alignz Recruitment, a Samoan owned and led recruitment agency over 20 years ago after seeing and experiencing the struggles of Maori and Pacific communities, being unrepresented in the local labour market.

Today, our founders bring with them the same desire to help people in the form of Puatala. Where our training and programmes lead to real job creation for you.

Creating Real Opportunities

Our Reviews

An amazing opportunity to partner with Puatala, to continue our work in the social procurement space, build our cultural capacity and invest in our Maori and Pasifika workforce.

There was so much in common and a real excitement about what we can do together to increase training and employment opportunities for Maori and Pasifika people as well as bringing more cultural understanding to our practices.

It’s been great working with Tjay Asiata and his team at Puatala to support local employment on the Peacocke Strategic WW Project for Hamilton City Council.

"One factor that makes the training different is the shared cultural beliefs which I could relate to. It has given me an urge to make plans and to work towards my dreams/goals that have been set for some time."

"The training made me think about all aspects when making decisions. To have more of a growth mindset when it comes to life. This looks at all aspects when we face life and helps us be more confident in what we do and set goals to reach within a timeline. Was good to relate to as a Pacific Island man."

"The training was easy going it and quickly made me feel comfortable. These aspects ensured that I got the most out of my experience as I was easily able to communicate any ideas. I also liked that the training made me feel confident and expressed that set backs were normal. This training has got me excited for the future"

"The training was different because it was based on your life. You as a person. The biggest learning I took away from the programme was growth mindset which I now use all the time."

Puatala and Ullrich have had a longstanding relationship since 2020. They have a real appreciation and understanding of the skills we need and have proven that with the training they provide. We one employee, we have seen a positive attitude change, reliability, and commitment to work. We look forward to working with Puatala in the future and enhancing the skills of our people.
