“"Outsourcing to look for the right candidate for a Learning & Development Manager was the right thing for me. Doing it through Kelly at ProgressionHR meant I had peace-of-mind that the role would be filled with the right person. Having met and worked with Kelly as a candidate, I knew the approach and care she would take in working with potential candidates for my role - which was really important for me. She understands the culture in my business, she is really responsive, trustworthy and upfront. ProgressionHR's ethics fit well with ours and they always look at the bigger picture to marry candidates well to the job. On top of everything else ProgressionHR are a pleasure to work with"
Katie, Group People and Culture Manager
“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.
Meg, People & Capability Manager
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!
Emma, HR Director
“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.
HR Manager, Auckland
“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.
Natalie, People & Capability Manager
“We recently needed some additional HR talent in our organisation and the team at ProgressionHR took the time to understand us and how we operate and then found us two stars who have fitted in perfectly - and they hit the ground running. We are stoked!
