Testimonials

A peer had suggested that I speak to an HR professional to help me recruit a graphic designer as I was feeling overwhelmed at the prospect of sorting through piles of CV and portfolios. I reached out to Paula at Hummingbird Solutions, who took time to understand my brief. Paula’s response was focused and efficient, providing a high level candidate shortlist within days and worked with me to identify the ideal applicant. I met with the designer, we had an instant rapport and her skill set matched my requirement perfectly. Paula went on to support me to offer and manage the contract. I am delighted with the outcome, Paula has sourced and delivered an exceptional candidate to match my exact requirement using a detailed, efficient and responsive process. Paula has a great knack for putting you at ease and taking complete care of the task in hand. I would not hesitate to recommend Paula’s services. Natalie Harmer Director
