Testimonials

I am delighted to share my outstanding experience working with Laura and Kelly at ProgressionHR. From the start, Laura took the time to deeply understand our company’s culture, values, and specific hiring needs. Their thorough and personalised approach ensured that they were not just filling a position but finding the perfect fit for our team. Throughout the recruitment process, Laura maintained clear and consistent communication, keeping us informed at every stage. What stood out most was ProgressionHR’s commitment to our long-term success. They were not just focused on filling a vacancy but were genuinely invested in finding candidates who would thrive and grow with our company. Their insight and advice were invaluable, helping us make informed decisions that have positively impacted our team dynamics and overall performance.

I have also worked closely with Kelly as a candidate in the past and she always took the time to thoroughly understand my career aspirations, skills, and values. Kelly provided invaluable guidance throughout my entire job search process, offering insightful advice.

We have used ProgressionHR to source both HR advisory and HR management roles across permanent and fixed-term positions. I have been most impressed with the time taken to understand our business and the quality and calibre of candidates presented in line with our needs.

My first interaction with ProgressionHR was 8 years ago after returning to NZ with a desire to make a big career change into the HR industry.

Without a traditional HR background my success in breaking into the industry was proving impossible, until I spoke with Kelly and Laura. Instead of focusing purely on my CV, they delved into my experience, capabilities, what my drivers were and my hopes for my new career. I was impressed with their instant ability to connect with me and to draw out and identify my strengths. Within a week they had identified the perfect client and seamlessly facilitated our connection and my inauguration into an HR career.

It is of no surprise that when I was ready to take my next step in my HR journey into a senior position, I reached out to Laura. I received the same attentive and enthusiastic care and a new role that I am thrilled about.

Laura has innate ability to partner clients and candidates by developing a deep understanding of each individual’s requirements. This proven capability and genuine enthusiasm to make great partnerships will, I know, be part of my next career step – when the time comes.

After not having much luck recruiting for a Senior HR Advisor I decided to approach Laura from ProgressionHR, and I am so glad I did. Not only did it take the recruitment process off my hands, I got fantastic results. I believe that I got the right candidate because of Laura’s extensive connections in the HR world and the fact that she really understands the needs of my business. She is professional, a great communicator and turned it all around for me in a short period of time. She even checked in recently to see how my placement was getting on and I really appreciate the follow through. I would 100% contact Laura again and I would highly recommend ProgressionHR to anyone looking to fill an HR position with the right person!

Laura has a long-standing relationship with our organisation. She has always been a pleasure to work with, very proactive and her insight into our requirements and the candidates’ capabilities has resulted in a string of excellent appointments.

I have always found that Laura provides the right balance of professionalism, honesty and transparency. Having worked with Laura on a number of roles, each time she has listened carefully to the brief and has always found me the best person for the role. I know when I go to Laura, she will do whatever she can to assist me, always goes the extra mile and does all of this with a genuine, caring approach. Laura is easily the best HR recruitment consultant I have worked with in my HR career.
