Thomas Hoksbergen - Founder
After completing my Bachelor of Commerce in Economics and Commercial law, I stepped into the world of technology recruitment and haven’t looked back, building a strong network within Software Development, Data, and Infrastructure. I have built and managed multiple teams within these domains in both Auckland and London, whilst always staying hands-on to ensure the best possible service.
The best recruiters have a genuine passion for the domain they operate within. My passion for technology started early on when I was given an old DOS-based computer for my 8th birthday. Although I may not be able to dive into the code base, I’ve enjoyed building a strong high-level understanding of the technology landscape over the years.
When I’m not behind the desk, you’ll find me on the course trying to improve my golf game. A new passion that I'm getting into is Paragliding, which gets the heart rate up, almost as much as a candidate considering a counteroffer. Running has become a recent passion and I’m proud to say I’ve completed three marathons, two in Auckland and one in Holland where I was born.
Caitlin Harvey - Compliance & Operations
I come from a strong academic background, with a Bachelor of Science, a degree in Business, and I am currently in the process of finishing my Bachelor of Law with honours from the University of Auckland. I spent two years in London, where I did a hands-on Compliance Program at a recruitment firm, before becoming a Compliance Officer for a Renewable Energy Consumer Code. My passion for law, compliance, and process improvement ensures that Gambit operates seamlessly, efficiently, and ethically.
I’m blessed to be born a Scots and raised Kiwi meaning I caught the travel bug early on! My greatest travel achievement has been reaching Everest Base Camp in 2018. In my free time, I like to keep creative whether that’s drawing, painting, sewing, or knitting. Fitness is also a priority, I've also completed two marathons and am looking forward to my third!
