Find architects who connect design decisions to working systems.
Architecture creates value when technical decisions address real business constraints and can be implemented and supported. An attractive diagram is not enough: the design must account for integration, security, resilience, cost and the teams responsible for delivery.
ANZ Talent Hub supports specialist architecture recruitment for organisations modernising applications, platforms and enterprise systems.

Which architect do you need?
A solution architect usually defines a particular solution and works closely with delivery teams. An enterprise architect takes a broader view of capabilities, standards and strategic alignment. An integration architect works deeply with interfaces, data movement and systems interaction; a cloud architect may focus on operating patterns, security and scalability.
These disciplines overlap, but one title should not conceal conflicting responsibilities. Define the systems involved, architecture authority and expected outputs first.
Look for evidence of trade-offs
A useful architecture interview tests how candidates identify constraints, evaluate design options, make decisions and support implementation. Ask about a difficult integration, a design that changed during delivery and what the architect would do differently today.
Discuss an architecture search
Share the programme context, technical environment and architectural decisions the successful candidate must own.

Frequently asked questions
Can ANZ Talent Hub recruit solution architects in Auckland?
Solution architecture is part of the specialist technology recruitment focus. A suitable brief identifies the systems, design authority, integration needs and delivery teams involved. Confirm location, hybrid arrangements and platform requirements for the specific appointment.
What is the difference between a solution architect and enterprise architect?
A solution architect generally designs a specific solution in its delivery context. An enterprise architect connects technology capabilities and standards to the wider organisation. Both may work together; their accountabilities should not be treated as interchangeable.
Can you help hire integration or cloud architects?
Integration and cloud architecture are within the intended specialist search scope. Define the relevant platforms, interfaces, operating constraints, non-functional requirements and decisions the architect will own. The strongest match depends on the particular technical landscape.
What is a useful interview exercise for a solution architect?
Present a realistic legacy-to-cloud or multi-system integration scenario. Ask about discovery questions, candidate approaches, trade-offs, security, resilience and operational handover. Assess explanations and reasoning, not the visual polish of a diagram.
