Client Testimonial:
“From start to finish, this was a great experience. A very comprehensive pre-selection discussion to define the requirement and more importantly… understand the nuances of the company and the role. This was very well executed with just the right level of driving the client… nicely done!
The McQuaig tests were really well managed. I hadn’t used this before, but I found it very insightful and valuable for our search. It was a key driver in understanding the likely behaviours and style of the candidates. This was crucial for us as we are a very tight team where fit really matters.
The interview process was smooth and well organised, with great communication throughout… and we selected a great candidate.
We are so grateful for your hard work on this search, it was professional, comprehensive, well organised and ultimately resulted in selecting a brilliant candidate! Jake was a great ambassador for HR Heads and I would recommend the company for any HR searches.
Well done HR Heads! Thank you.”
