Bio
Layla Eissa
Jessica joined AnyVan initially as an Administrative Assistant, assisting myself and our CEO with various aspects of running AnyVan. She progressed into and took on the role of HR Manager as the need arose, assisting with everything from recruitment to payroll and contributed considerably to our growth from a personnel perspective over the past couple of years. We would certainly have kept Jessica in this role, had a relocation back to NZ not been necessary. I have no hesitation in recommending Jessica - she is an approachable, helpful, responsible HR Manager and an absolute delight to work alongside - she will be a huge asset to any prospective employer.

Jessica is a very intelligent, genuine and hard working individual. During my time working with her, she was always willing to go beyond what was required of her to deliver results. Jessica is a great people person, a skill which is of great benefit particularly in HR. I wish Jessica the best in her future career and I'm sure she'll be an asset at any company in which she works.
