Michelle is transparent and easy to deal with and we look forward to a long partnership.

I met Michelle while leading the sourcing of a NZ wide all of business recruitment services requirement. Michelle's commercial nous and ability to quickly understand our business drivers were the stand-out attributes at that time. (It differentiated her organisations service offering by cutting through the noise and getting to the heart of what was important to us). Michelle engages through a philosophy of "shared success" and I've never seen Michelle waiver in her commitment or indeed make any promise that she hasn't met. It's genuine and not sales fluff. I've come to value Michelle as a trusted advisor over the years. Not simply because of her business capability (as great as it is) but because of her authenticity, personal integrity and humour. It makes doing business with her easy and a lot of fun.
