Kim Lusby
Director
Kim brings almost 20 years experience managing and delivering both consulting and recruitment services in Wellington.
Throughout her career she has worked with many vastly different Government organisations on large and complex transformation programmes, some include the Ministry of Education, New Zealand Defence Force, Oranga Tamariki, New Zealand Police and the Ministry of Business and Innovation.
She is described by clients as authentic, supportive, hard working, dedicated and honest. She is particularly passionate about making a difference, and she isn’t afraid to make the tough calls. Kim is particularly attuned to ensuring there are true values and cultural alignment between the professional and the client, on this a foundation of success can be built.
In June 2025, Kim was appointed to the board of Age Concern Wellington. Age Concern is committed to promoting the rights, well-being and quality of life for older people in Wellington. Her personal experience with facing dementia has driven her passion to contribute to making a difference for older people.
Each fortnight, for Canine Friends, she also visits aged care homes with her dog Gracie (who is approved from pet therapy work), which is so rewarding, giving time to older people, to brighten their day.
Outside of work, Kim is affectionately known as the ‘whirlwind’ with all her projects, where she applies her efforts to be a builder, interior designer and mother to Gracie and Tom her babies. In 2025 she went down the rabbit hole of 'scent work' with her dog Tom, and now trials around New Zealand with him, if you want to be bored to death over a coffee, just ask her about this ....
Back to Team
I’d like to thank you for the wonderful support you and the team have given me over the last year and a bit. Likemind is an outstanding company and I will highly recommend you to anyone I meet. I have felt well looked after, supported and engaged. The friendly and professional culture that you have instilled is rare and very welcomed.
Out of all the recruiting companies I have been through, Likemind has been the one with which I've had the best experience and connection on a personal level.
Thanks to you and your team for the opportunity with your client. You have in place a very professional setup to support prospective candidates. I have dealt with a couple of recruitment companies in past roles, and none come close to the service and efficient, supportive communication you have provided.
It is a pleasure to work with you and I remain hugely impressed with the calibre of people you are finding for our roles in a tight market. You have a real talent for matching people to the roles, both in terms of skills and experience and personality fit for the role. Long may we continue to work together.
It is so nice to be with an agency that actually cares and is real. I want to commend you on the amazing genuine way you have taken me on the Likemind journey. From the constant communication about where the role was at, to checking in with me has been faultless on your part...I will be recommending my colleagues to be part of Likemind.
We can’t sing your praises highly enough! You are landing excellent candidates at speed and we are very grateful
From my perspective you have been an amazing team to work with, communicative, responsive and very pro-active. I couldn’t ask for more.
Sound like a good match?
We focus on investing time and effort to authentically engage, understand and collaborate.
If you want to work with a team that aligns people and purpose, experience and knowledge, culture and values, we would love to hear from you today.
