I highly recommend Kim and her team. It has been so instrumental to outsource HR support for my small but growing business and help to navigate all the challenges that come with recruitment and people management in a business. They have been an incredible support to me and it has really taken the pressure off, knowing that they have all the HR side of things handled so I can concentrate on the rest of the aspects of the business.

Initially, we felt that navigating state and federal industrial relations legislation could be complex and time-consuming. We soon found that Kim and her team not only simplified these challenges but also provided practical advice, education, checklists and processes that empowered our executive leadership team. Over time, we have found their expertise to be invaluable, consistently exceeding our expectations. Kim's team are also highly responsive, often available at short notice to assist with sensitive matters.
