Robertson Motor Group

I have worked with Charllotte and the PN Personnel team on a number of our temporary and permanent placement needs in recent years.


I have always found the team professional, flexible, and understanding of our changing business needs. I value their communication, ability to get results, and positive outcomes. 


PN Personnel’s pool of candidates are of a high quality, so much so that were able to redeploy a temporary employee into a permanent team member within our group.

MTD Trucks

I have had the pleasure of working closely with Cushla and Christine. It has been an enjoyable experience and I can say with confidence they have continuously delivered outstanding service. 


Every contact demonstrated their commitment to excellence and professionalism. Their knowledge and experience significantly helped the success of our achievement, and they were always quick to react to any questions or concerns I had.


In our recruitment process, PN Personnel took into consideration applicants who might not have otherwise applied for the position but possessed the skills we were seeking. This approach allowed us to discover hidden gems that proved to be an asset to our team.


As everyone knows, starting a new job can sometimes be overwhelming, but it was widely observed and appreciated that Christine frequently checked in on our temporary employee to make sure he was navigating things well, comfortable, and happy.


In a summary, the outstanding communication, regular discussion, and the subsequent contract extensions we had with PN Personnel truly exceeded our expectations.

ORIX New Zealand

ORIX New Zealand Ltd has a relationship going back over 10 years with PN Personnel where they have provided staff for yard assistant & vehicle grooming roles in both short and long term contracts, often at short notice.


The whole team at PNP has always provided great service to us and understood what our requirements were, in particular it’s been a pleasure to deal with Robyn over a period of several years. 


They have always maintained regular contact with both us and the staff they’ve provided to ensure that the needs of both are being met. 


We would recommend any business in the area to consider the team at PN Personnel for all recruitment requirements.

I used PN Personnel many years ago when I worked for another organisation, so when I urgently needed a temp at my new organisation I went straight to PN Personnel.

Charllotte was wonderful to deal with, very professional and helpful and she provided me with 2 exceptional candidates. I would highly recommend PN Personnel to anyone requiring staff.

Manawatu Lutheran Parish

Recently I worked with PN Personnel after unsuccessfully trying to find an employee. PN Personnel were very helpful and understanding of our unique requirements. They visited our place of employment and met the staff. 


What impressed me was the follow up. They were most approachable and available to answer any queries and were very supportive, keeping us up with the process we were undertaking. 


I enjoyed working with them to successfully achieve our goal.

Higgins Family Holdings Ltd

We’ve worked with Cushla at PN Personnel for the last two years and in that time she’s recruited four roles in the administration / accounting space for us.  


Cushla’s service to us has always been fantastic, right from the first meeting to discuss the role, through to following up once the employee is on board.  She provides regular communication throughout the employment process and ensures she has a real understanding of what we want out of a role in order to get the best available candidate.  


I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Cushla or her colleagues at PN Personnel.

New Zealand Red Cross

Thank you Charllotte for your support in filling two key positions for NZRCs Wellington and Manawatu Service Centres.


I would like to start by saying how pleasant the experience has been engaging with you over the last five weeks. I have found your approach to our needs attentive, thoughtful, considerate and understanding.

I have also found you to be extremely proactive in your search, and I have seen this through conversations with you regarding options with matching the right people to the roles. 


You have displayed such professionalism during the process. You have kept me informed at all stages and in a timely manner. You have expressed your honest thoughts on candidates, and I have found that you have taken our needs, (even though small in comparison to some of your other client’s needs,) with the utmost care and consideration and matched those needs perfectly. 


I just wanted to finish by saying that it has been an absolute pleasure to connect with you for this short time. You’re a true gem and I would without a doubt recommend PN Personnel to any employer to support their search in this current job market.

Metro Property Services

Due to the specific job requirements and a frequently changing schedule, we were having difficulty finding someone for a role. From the moment we first approached PN Personnel I was impressed by their service. 

Our Recruitment Specialist, Christine Hanning, has been a huge help. Christine worked along with us to identify the specific needs of the role, and was able to find us two staff members who are a great fit. I would definitely recommend PN Personnel.

Kauri Healthcare

We have been partnering with PN Personnel for a number of years now to recruit temporary and permanent staff for our team at Kauri Healthcare.


The service I have received has been excellent, they listen to my requirements and quickly get an understanding of both the company and type of person we are looking for, the end result to date has been very successful


Recently we engaged with the team at PN Personnel to find us a new Chief Executive Officer. This was a pivotal role for our business and due to their recent history with us, years of recruitment experience and local and national networks there was only one choice for us who to partner with.


The process was very professional and ran smoothly. The communication with Cushla was excellent throughout the recruit, she gave us regular updates and feedback from the market.


We had a time frame to work to which was agreed at the job brief meeting and we were presented an excellent shortlist of very suitable and qualified candidates in our timeframe. PN Personnel even provided their boardroom for us to hold all interviews in which was very helpful.


We are extremely happy with the candidate we have selected and would highly recommend the team at PN Personnel for any recruitment requirements you have.

Hireways

We have engaged PN Personnel on numerous occasions for a variety of roles. They treated each engagement with professionalism and a personal touch. Part of this is making sure they not only understand the position but also the type of person we need, as well as our company goals and values. We never feel that they are just going through the motions. This approach has led to new team members who are assets to our company.


The team at PN Personnel are professional and friendly and always seem ready to help.


They have a deep understanding of the local business scene, which then reflects in their sourcing.

Co-Mac Partnering Approach

We have been working with Christine at PN Personnel for some time now – because Christine knows what we want she looks after us very well.


Christine has kept getting it “bang on”. If Christine sent us someone for a Temporary role it’s about 98% certain we will hire them. We have often taken the Temporary Employees onto Permanent roles.


Andrea

Office Manager

Hino

We find “temping” works for our business. While we find the “temps” have enjoyed their roles we benefit from quickly filling staff shortages and have even kept some as permanent employees.


Christine has saved us the downtime in searching and has found some good people for us – it works! That’s why we come back.

Holmes Accounting - long term business relationships

Here at Holmes Accounting we have stable relationships with our clients, so I value the long term relationship I have had with Claire and her team over more than 20 years.


In that time, you have given us good productive people who have turned into the very effective team I have today.


Why would I go anywhere else other than Palmerston North Personnel?

UCOL

I’m happy to talk about PN Personnel’s service – I am really happy with the quality service from Robyn.


PN Personnel provided us with very high quality people to choose from – this really stood out. Not only was the skill level high, so was the work ethic of the people PN Personnel presented to us.


Robyn has taken away the hassle of finding quality staff at short notice – it was all taken care of – no lost time sourcing people and just no pressure!

Sport Manawatu

I worked with Cushla Brasell from PN Personnel as we were in a bind with our Sport Manawatu communications role. We needed someone fast.


I was really pleased we were able to quickly fill the void with a quality temporary employee.


Our temporary employee is going great guns, as well as being good at what she does, she is a regular face in our office and integrates well with our team.


After finding my position through PN Personnel, it’s easy to know where to go for help with recruitment when we need it.


Stuart Robinson

Property Brokers

Not so long ago we found ourselves in a position where we needed to hire a PA to our Managing Director, as there has been a series of internal promotions. This is a position that is pivotal to the company, so it was vital we got it right! We already had a great relationship with PN Personnel, and Cushla specifically, so it was a no-brainer to call her and enlist her help.


There were a large number of responses, but there was one candidate who stood out, head and shoulders above the rest. This candidate was thoroughly reference checked before being put through a barrage of interviews and testing (the latter also through PN Personnel), and subsequently hired.


PN Personnel knew what we wanted, and as they had already invested a lot of time understanding our culture, they knew who to present me with, without wasting their time, my time, or the candidate’s time.


I have no hesitation recommending PN Personnel to any employer looking to recruit. I know we will use them again!

PN Personnel have always been exceptional with their service, in particular their commitment to source candidates, both temporary and permanent, for our various needs.

The PN Personnel team is always there ready to help and support us. I highly recommend them. They are ethical, professional, very results oriented, and are a great team of people to deal with.
