Come talk to us. Kirsty, Nikki & the Team
See what our clients have to say about their experience with McLaren Recruitment…
I am incredibly impressed with the exceptional recruitment services provided by Kirsty and the team. They made what seemed like a challenging task appear effortless, and the entire process was seamless and efficient. Kirsty's expertise in understanding our unique business model and culture played a pivotal role in successfully recruiting someone who aligns perfectly with our organisation's values and expectations.
Amanda R – The Workshop
We haven't needed to appoint a CEO for our iconic kiwi organisation for 13 years so this was a BIG DEAL for us. We put our faith in McLaren Recruitment and they absolutely delivered. Competent, proactive staff who pulled together a fantastic list of well-researched, well-suited applicants. I'd like to add that Nikki went well beyond my expectations as a board chair in advice, guidance, preparing documents and making what was a drawn out, stressful time for us as an organisation a process that was well managed, well led and well executed. Will definitely use again, and completely recommend.
Phil M – YES
Ngan understood the assignment and delivered candidates of quality better than we could have hoped, and assisted with advice throughout the process that helped us secure our preferred candidate. 12/10 would recommend.
