My apologies for the delay as I have just arrived from overseas and caught a flu bug. Have a great week :)"
"Hayley was incredible from start to finish! She knows the New Zealand Financial Services industry and her advice and recommendations reflect this. Quite frankly, if I wasn’t advised by her in the way that I was, by logically setting out all the requirements needed for me to enter the industry, I would be totally lost today, still without a role. She’s realistic about what is on offer and about your (the candidate’s) chances of being successful in your application. With that said, she also has a career progression plan in mind for you. She always wants what’s best for her clients, she really cares for you and I don’t think she ever stops strategising and planning. She does not create unrealistic expectations, YET, she still does her very best to get you the best role possible and encourages you along the way. She is personal with her advice, professional and very supportive. I’ll recommend her to anyone. In short, a BIG thank you and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"

"I initially contacted Hayley two years ago to check my options in changing my position within the financial sector, but at that time I didn't have my level 5, and it would be quite challenging to enter in the industry without previous experience. Fast forwarding to December 2023, Hayley introduced me to a potential new employer and her role was crucial, as she helped me secure the first interview.
During this time Hayley was a pivotal point in the negotiations. She helped me clarifying questions and to organise further interviews. The most important part is that Hayley helped me secure a new role with an exceptional salary within a first-class organisation.
Hayley is extremely professional, in tune with the industry, very quick in her responses and follow ups, and is an outstanding listener. She did pretty much the hard work that an applicant goes through. You only need to show up and do your best.

Her communication skills are far superior to any other recruiter I've dealt with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is looking for a position in the financial services industry."
"Johanna was brilliant in the recruitment process. Her interpretation of what we were looking for, slick communication and professionalism, made the process extremely easy. I highly recommend Johanna's services in recruitment."
“Really understood our needs, then found excellent candidates. Working with Johanna was a pleasure. She spent time understanding our needs first then linking in with many candidates, presenting us only the best suited ones. We were surprised at the candidates we got as they wouldn't have otherwise crossed our radar.”
"Mitch did an amazing job keeping me in the loop with the whole process, helped make sure I was prepared for my interviews and shared in my excitement for landing the role. It made the whole job hunt process a lot less intimidating."
"Prompt and positive even with some of the timing hiccups along the way. Thanks again Paul!"
