Clarity Consulting Group (Clarity) is a boutique specialist legal recruitment agency that offers a significant number of years of experience and insight into the New Zealand legal market, as well as selected international legal markets.

We focus on achieving our results through ‘people centric’ strategies, as opposed to the traditional agency model of ‘meeting targets’ or putting ‘bottoms on seats’.  What matters to Clarity is that the cultural fit is right, not only for the client, but for the candidate too.

Meet Frieda

Frieda Crawford, Managing Director of Clarity Consulting Group, is a well respected and very experienced senior legal consultant. Her reputation, knowledge of the law, and extensive networks are points of distinction that set her apart from other consultants.  These factors place Frieda in a unique position to source candidates for clients across the New Zealand and international market.

Frieda holds a Bachelor of Laws and was admitted to the Bar in December 1997.  From 1997 to 2003, Frieda was a managed funds lawyer in the national firm private practice and private sector environments.

After leaving private practice in 2003, Frieda utilised her legal knowledge and leveraged on her extensive networks to provide legal recruitment consulting services to the public and private sectors. She has provided these services within a well known global HR consultancy, and, more recently, for a New Zealand owned recruitment agency.

Frieda has placed many roles within private practice, in-house corporate and the in-house public sector markets.  She has worked closely with many lawyers at all levels, from graduates to partners.
