Better HR Co. has added tonnes of value to our business. Not only do we use the services in-house, but we refer these services on to our clients. Within Varntige we have used Better HR Co. to help with employment relations matters where Catherine gave us great advice and a process to follow, that produced a mutually beneficial outcome.
Catherine recently helped a client of ours deal with a restructure and redundancy, and the advice was fantastic. The process is so easy – I just fire through an email and the team come back to me and can deal with it. If it's an urgent issue they can work around this time frame. Catherine and the team do a fantastic job of offering advice and support with HR. I really like working with them and won't be going anywhere else!
Working with Better HR Co. has been exceptional. Catherine's expertise and personalised approach to HR solutions have been invaluable to our organisation. Her professionalism and dedication have consistently exceeded our expectations, and her responsiveness and ability to provide tailored solutions quickly have truly impressed us. Thus, our board acknowledged that Catherine's services had met and surpassed our needs.
We greatly appreciate her contributions and look forward to working with her in the future.
I found the recruitment process for our new Social Enterprise Manager easy and stress-free. I am very pleased with the outcome of the process and look forward to working with our new candidate. Better HR Co.'s behind-the-scenes connections and advice regarding the details for this position meant that we were able to attract talent that we would have missed out on without their help. The open communication style and honest opinions regarding the candidates gave me confidence in my decisions. I sincerely hope that I don't have to be recruiting again any time soon, but if I do, I will definitely be in touch with Better HR Co.
Applying for a role with Better HR Co. was enjoyable, and there were some really thought provoking questions in there that were fun to answer – it wasn’t like other job applications I’ve done, so props to you for making the process an enjoyable one for us applicants.
If you are thinking of using Better HR Co. you can be confident that Catherine will manage the recruitment and selection process in a manner that presents you in the best light to candidates, giving you the best chance of securing the talent your organisation needs.
With no HR manager previously in house, we have relied heavily on Better HR Co. to help with our HR policies, procedures and recruitment. The team were able to advise on HR matters that we hadn't even considered, and we found the technical and policy advice was hugely beneficial. The team always kept us well informed, and we had regular catch ups via zoom (during covid) or in person. Everything was well communicated, and we were always kept in the loop. The team are knowledgeable, experienced, nice and helpful. Highly recommend.
