KIRK ROSKVIST
PRINCIPAL CONSULTANT
IT & Business Transformation
Kirk Roskvist is a senior recruitment and consulting professional at Momentum, specialising in Business Transformation, Technology, and executive-level change capability. He partners with organisations navigating complex transformation to secure people who can deliver in high-pressure, real-world environments.
Kirk began his career in recruitment over 20 years ago, starting in blue-collar recruitment, where pace, volume, and reliability mattered. He progressed into white-collar construction recruitment, supporting professional and project-based roles across complex builds and infrastructure programmes, before going on to build and lead an IT contracting desk, supplying specialist technology and transformation capability into enterprise and public-sector environments.
More recently, Kirk spent two years as a sales specialist with a leading New Zealand systems integrator, working alongside executives and delivery leaders on large-scale technology and transformation initiatives. This gives him a rare end-to-end perspective — from workforce and capability planning through to solution design and delivery reality.
What differentiates Kirk is his highly consultative, commercially grounded approach. He doesn’t see recruitment as a transactional service; he treats it as a capability, risk, and outcomes decision. His process is deliberate, transparent, and relationship-led, designed to reduce hiring risk and create durable results.
Kirk’s approach to identifying the right talent is built on deep market knowledge, pattern recognition, and listening hard. He invests time upfront to understand business context, delivery constraints, stakeholder dynamics, and cultural realities, then aligns this with what genuinely motivates and enables people to perform.
Having worked across blue-collar, construction, IT contracting, and systems integration, Kirk brings credibility with executives, delivery leaders, and technical specialists alike. He combines commercial acumen with practical realism and a clear understanding of how work actually gets done.
What Kirk enjoys most about his role is impact — helping organisations avoid costly hiring mistakes, accelerating transformation outcomes, and supporting people into roles where they can perform, grow, and add meaningful value.

FAQs
What makes you different as a recruiter?
I’ve worked across the full spectrum of recruitment - from blue-collar through to highly specialised technology contracting. That breadth, combined with senior market tenure, means I understand delivery environments at every level. I assess talent based on real-world performance, not just credentials, and help clients make informed, lower-risk hiring decisions.
How do you find the right candidates?
I start by understanding the work - not just the role description. I take time to understand the environment, expectations, and constraints, then draw on long-standing relationships, trusted networks, and market insight to identify people who are technically capable, delivery-proven, and culturally aligned.
Why focus on Business Transformation and Technology?
Because outcomes live or die by execution. Transformation and technology roles sit at the intersection of strategy and delivery, and the cost of getting them wrong is high. Helping organisations build the right capability in these spaces is where my experience has the greatest impact.re information to come!
