We have learned so much from Stapleton Consulting’s coaching, as we have gone from being an owner-operator to a business with a growing team. They have taught us about how to protect our business and our people by using good employment practices. We understand now about employment legislation, the importance of having clear processes and how to get the basics right for good workplace culture.

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. Stapleton Consulting’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 Stapleton Consulting.

The Stapleton Consulting team have helped us with hiring addition staff, including specialised and unique roles. Their knowledge of the recruitment process, as well as understanding of the local community, enabled them to source a high caliber of candidates that we have subsequently gone on to engage with. The process was seamless, and we greatly value the successful outcome. The team is collaborative, friendly and astute. I would recommend working with the Stapleton Consulting team.

—Marcel Manders, Interim CEO, Waipa Networks

With no HR manager previously in house, we have relied heavily on Stapleton Consulting 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.

—Luke Tilling, Executive General Manager, Safe Road Services

Applying for a role with Stapleton Consulting 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.

—Sana Mohammed, Candidate

We used Stapleton Consulting for recruiting new team members. Being able to reach out to a wider job market has been great, and much more effective than if I’d done it myself. The process was very good – I let Catherine know what I need, and they write up the job ads and forward the candidate info on to me. The team are excellent – they provide a great service and efficient.

—Jason Cameron, Operations Manager, Cambrilea Weed Spraying

Stapleton Consulting has provided a range of Human Resources advice to CSC Buying Group and Totara Springs Camp. This includes writing up employment agreements, going through the process of recruiting and hiring a new CEO and giving clarity around HR issues. The process was very professional. The team are great and are naturally helpful, giving great customer service. We’re very happy and they’ve done a good job for our organisation.

Stapleton Consulting helped us recruit a new high level of directors for our board. She helped with the process from start to finish, and even recommended a candidate that she had screened but we had not chosen for an interview. This candidate went on to get the job, so we would have missed this opportunity if it wasn’t for Catherine!

The process went well and was very structured. In the past we’ve used ‘big name recruiters’ for these sorts of situations, however Catherine proved that she could perform just as well as these big companies. I have a very high opinion of Catherine – she took control of the process and took away the stress so that I only had to turn up. It was very well organised and ran very smoothly.

— Craig Sanders, Chairperson, Waipa Networks Trust

Stapleton Consulting was recommended to us to help us find new staff members and a new Operations Manager. Catherine handled the whole process from start to finish, which took all the hassle and stress away from us and made sure we didn’t have to be too involved. We’re very busy, so this was the best option for us – plus Catherine has access to better tools for this process and did a better job than we could have. The process was very professional.

— Patrick Brier, Managing Director, Alpha Scaffolding

Stapleton Consulting has helped our team and business to grow. Catherine helped us to recruit a new manager, who has now taken on a role that I used to have in the business, freeing up my time and allowing for monumental change. The process was really good. Catherine takes the time to sit down and understand your business – she is interested in a long-term focus and wants to do the best for you. She is very personable and genuine, and cares about her clients.

— Chris Corfe, Managing Director, Marc Doyle Treework

Stapleton Consulting 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 Stapleton Consulting to help with an exit strategy for a team member – Catherine gave us great advice and a process to follow, and there was a good 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!
