“Best recruiter I have dealt with by a landslide.
I have had a great experience dealing with Hayley, she really took the time to understand my situation and find out what I really wanted and the culture I wanted to be part off. Hayley always looked at creating opportunities when there weren't any available and really took the time to explain what each company and position was like. We had great great communication throughout this process and I really felt valued working with her. I would recommend anyone looking for work to contact Hayley. Best recruiter I have dealt with by a landslide.”
"Paul was amazing! The communication and education about the job role was fantastic! Have already recommend Paul to some other colleagues!"

"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!"

If I could rate more than 5 stars I would!"

When the employer expressed interest in me, Hayley assisted with contract agreements and salary negotiations. Hayley was in constant contact with me and kept me well informed throughout the recruitment process which was greatly appreciated."
"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. I strongly recommend Hayley for her level of industry knowledge, professionalism and trust."

I would highly recommend Vanessa for anyone looking for a role; you really couldn’t be in better hands.”
"Hayley always comes up with great candidates, and knows our business well. She gets back to me quickly. Its a great help for our business growth working with her."
"Given that I wasn’t even looking to change employment, Paul took me by surprise when he contacted me. His understanding of my current situation but also knowing that what he had would be a fabulous opportunity for me, resulted in me being successful in changing roles for an exciting new job and a lot more money. I really appreciated the smooth facilitation of the process by Paul and he kept me up to date every step of the way. It has been terrific to have Paul navigate all this for me and along with his cheery personality - thank you Paul!"
