If you want somebody to take away the recruitment headache without pills and provide quality documentation without having to do it yourself, then we would recommend HR Space.  

Due to our integration project we have undertaken a massive recruitment drive which required a dedicated team to manage; and had the potential to become a major cost to our business.   Outsourcing to HR Space was a decision we have not regretted, they managed costs and provided a dedicated team who became part of our business.

HR Spaces' approach to recruitment is refreshing.  Its great to work with a team who treat both clients and candidates with respect and honesty and who deliver what they promise.  

HR Space works with our business as a valuable business partner, and I am continually impressed with the quality of candidates and customer service received.  I would recommend HR Space to any business wishing to deal with professional, credible, and passionate people.  Their focus and energy to deliver great talent is outstanding, and feedback from candidates as to how they have been treated though the recruitment process is excellent.  Communication for us is crucial, as HR Space represent our employment brand on a daily basis.  Martin and Liza are also regularly in contact with us, appreciate the complexities that can occur within organisations and work flexibly around this.  

In addition to standard recruitment services, we have engaged HR Space to assist us with a number of other special projects.  Their breadth of industry knowledge and combined HR experience has been an advantage to our business in this regard.  Martin and Liza are no-nonsense consultants, who are very proactive in their approach - which, in a difficult labour market, I feel is vital to their success.  I am pleased to endorse such a first-rate team.

"The recruitment process can be one of the most frustrating and energy sapping tasks you will have to do as a modern manager. Going it alone has it owns challenges unfortunately at times choosing the right recruitment agency can be just as challenging.

Martin King came to our organisation through a recommendation and immediately made an impact, gaining an understanding of the environment and culture was just as important to us as getting the right candidate for the position being sort. Martin very quickly came to grips with our operational requirements, he understood our need for urgency but balanced that with not placing individuals in front of us for the sake of a commission.

It is testament to Martin's professionalism and ability to fit round pegs in round holes that what started as recruitment for one position ended in being the placement of two senior positions within my team, the second placement had been ongoing for over 6 months prior."

Martin King is an HR professional who will impress you with his talents.  He is quick thinking, solutions focused and delivers what you need when you need it (or even before!).  I have known Martin for many years and worked with him as a colleague and then later through the recruitment industry.  I can honestly say that I have never met someone so passionate about his HR work.  With a nick-name like 'the energiser bunny' you get the picture!

If Martin is on the job, you know that it will be done - on time and with a unique flare that only Martin can deliver.  You will not be disappointed if you use his services.  In the HR/Recruitment industry it is rare to find someone who cuts through the B.S. and understands what you really need! Please don't hesitate to contact me directly for further information.

Again, thank you so much for your level of service.  Your own HR background made a big difference here & as I told you, you were the only one of about 6 consultants who understood what I wanted and found me exactly the kind of candidates I asked for.  It’s also a testament to your customer service ethic that you moved quickly enough that we have her starting a week before the incumbent leaves so there will be a reasonable handover.  I had the feeling that most of the other consultants saw it as too small a job for them to put the effort in – I guess that’s the difference between the personal touch and a major global player – more fool them! 

By Louise Wilson, Advertising Call Centre Manager, APN New Zealand Ltd (NZ Herald)

Martin,

A short note to thank you for the exceptional service you and your team have provided to APN during your time heading up 9am. The quality of relationship and level of delivery have surpassed that of any agency I have worked with either here or in the UK, and the continued quality of candidates you have provided through the tailored assessment centre process has been second to none. The entire team at 9am have followed your lead and have been an absolute delight to deal with: responsive, proactive and taken a genuine interest in helping us build our business. I couldn't have asked for more! It was no surprise that under your leadership 9am were finalists at the SARA awards this year.

I wish you every success in your new venture, and I have no doubt that with your integrity, energy, experience and consummate professionalism that 'hrspace' will be an unqualified success. I will be recommending your services to contacts both internally and externally, and wish you all the very best.

Best regards,   Louise
