\u201cWhy I have a thing for New Zealanders\u2026 In particular, 9 reasons why I think New Zealand based companies are great to work with\u201d.<\/h5>\n

I love working for\u00a0<\/span>Core Schedule<\/a>. They are an NZ based company, founded by a New York expat living in Wellington. Now, it\u2019s not the first time I have worked for a successful NZ start-up. A few years back I worked at\u00a0<\/span>Xero<\/a>, a little Accounting SaaS company you might have heard of. Ok, not that little, in fact, Xero has gone on to be one of the most successful Startups of all time and with over 2 million subscribers globally there are no signs of it slowing down. Legend has it that Xero, which was founded by\u00a0<\/span>Rod Drury<\/a>, was done so in an apartment with a dodgy solution for accessing wifi from a nearby caf\u00e9. Running his own business gave Rod insight into just how clunky traditional accounting software was, and after his money arrived from the sale of AfterMail the founding Xero team set out to develop a cloud accounting platform with the first multi-perspective general ledger. And the rest is history.<\/p>\n

Core Schedule tackles the challenging and complex areas of healthcare rostering to improve the lives of people working at all levels in the sector. It is another successful company to come out of the thriving New Zealand tech industry. So it got me thinking, why is it thriving? AND why is it that I get drawn into working for NZ tech companies? Well, it probably comes down to aligning to my own personal values of Creativity, Innovation, Love (Care\/People First), Adventure and Fun.<\/p>\n

So based on that, here is a list of 9 reasons why it is awesome to work with Kiwis:<\/p>\n
