Doug McCall 
Manager/Clinical Psychologist
Hello and thank you for visiting our website and for considering using our services.
Let me introduce myself. I am a New Zealander and trained as a clinical psychologist
at Waikato University in Hamilton graduating in 1995. This was followed by a decade’s
clinical experience working in child protection, justice and private practice in
locations of Rotorua/Taupo, Hamilton and Auckland. Before establishing Psych-Recruitment
I was employed as Principal Psychologist managing a team of psychologists for the
New Zealand Department of Corrections.
Family circumstances delivered me to Europe and into the field of recruitment. I
am passionate about the field of psychology and enjoy helping to develop the profession
through sourcing skills and matching these with employers needs. I have interests
in management, service development and forensic psychology.
As I am physically located in the Central Europe Time (CET) zone this allows convenient
availability to job seekers located in Europe, the Americas, and Africa. At the
same time most evenings I am in contact with employers and colleagues in New Zealand
and frequently return to catch up on employment requirements.
I look forward to the opportunity to assist you with your employment needs.

Administrator
Kia ora, I am an Italian who has spent periods living in New Zealand and experiencing
the ‘Kiwi’ culture. I have been involved with Psych-Recruitment since 2002, assisting
with the initial start up. I have also enjoyed meeting some of you at the exhibitions
and conferences we attend.
Currently my main responsibility is drafting up your curriculum vitae and job applications
paying particular attention to content and presentation. Short-listing is an important
component of the recruitment process so my goal is to ensure that your skills and
experiences are well presented.
I look forward to working with you on your job applications.
