Key Skills is proud to be officially registered with Amotai, the national intermediary that connects Māori and Pasifika owned businesses with procurement opportunities across Aotearoa.

This registration formally recognises us as a business that is at least 50% Māori-owned. It places us in a growing national network of high-performing, kaupapa-driven suppliers, deeply connected to their communities.

What this means

Being Amotai registered means we’re now eligible to be matched with buyers from across government, iwi, trusts, and major corporates. These are organisations committed to supplier diversity and to building stronger futures by working with businesses like ours.

But for us, the significance goes beyond procurement. It’s about backing our identity, our values, and our vision.

We’ve spent the last 20 years proving that you can run a high-performing recruitment business that centres people, relationships, and trust. That you can deliver operational excellence and be driven by purpose. That you can do great work and uplift others while you do it.

We’re excited to contribute to the Amotai supplier network, and to connect with other Māori and Pasifika businesses, share knowledge, collaborate, and grow together.

If you’re a buyer, partner, or collaborator looking to work with Amotai suppliers – we’d love to hear from you.
