Testimonials

With our increased growth in personnel over the last few years and our strong desire to look after our staff Sport Waikato needed external expertise in the Human Resource area. We engaged Everest to assist with all HR matters and the transition has been seamless. The professionalism, credibility and support that Everest has provided around people management has created a very positive and productive environment.
Matthew Cooper, CEO, Sport Waikato, Hamilton

"We selected Everest Group to assist us with some of our HR projects and have been impressed with the quality service they have provided. The Everest team have a refreshing yet professional approach.  In one phrase they are ‘on to it’."
Marian Mangan, Executive Manager/Director, Waikato Security Services, Hamilton

"Innovation Waikato has a great ongoing relationship with Everest Group who act as our independent HR Manager. Their approach to working with both IWL and the Innovation Park tenants has been fantastic. I think their model is spot on for SMEs - we could have developed our own HR systems in-house but the team at Everest have made people management very stress free. They are independent, neutral and know exactly how to deal with growing businesses."  
Derek Fairweather, CEO, Innovation Waikato Ltd, Hamilton

"We knew staff development was crucial to our business growing but we didn’t really know where to start. Everest quickly demonstrated their specialist HR knowledge and had pinpointed our biggest issues within hours of being in our workplace. They offered extremely practical improvements which made a significant and effective difference to our team. It’s obvious that Everest are genuinely committed to business improvement and know exactly how to go about achieving it in a professional and realistic manner. WSF looks forward to continuing our working relationship with Everest Group."
Darryn Jonson, Managing Director, Waikato Steel Fabricators, Hamilton

 "Everest Group provided us with the complete package - a very professional approach to what can be a very taxing and emotive exercise across a wide range of staff and roles.  We were impressed with the processes carried out, the format of the HR audit report we received, how willingly a large percentage of staff participated, and the nature of the support and guidelines within the report. We got great value for money and a significant boost in how we can better manage our business and team moving forward.  
Wayne Cooney, Managing Director, Benchworks, Hamilton

 "Our staff are very important to us and since we have grown I quickly realized that I didn’t have either the time or the expertise to provide the level of HR our team required.  Everest have provided this service at a level that has always been professional, accessible and very efficient.  They have their fingers on the pulse with current legislation and are sensitive to the needs of both staff and the employer."
Ross Christensen, Managing Director, Fish City, Hamilton

"The HR WOF conducted by the Everest Group was performed in a very efficient and professional manner and has proved to be an extremely valuable process for our business. We received a comprehensive and insightful report on the status of our HR systems and processes, and the recommendations have created a framework for future business improvement strategies."
Steve McNae, Chief Information Officer, Stainless Design, Waikato 2007 Business of the Year

"Working with Everest Group to recruit a new staff member made the whole process hassle free.  We chose to be actively involved at certain stages (such as interviewing) yet the solid framework & expertise provided by the team at Everest ensured that no crucial steps were missed.  We are thrilled with the results. If we could wind back the clock, we would have implemented the formal HR systems offered by Everest Group from the beginning."
Karen Huckstep, Business Development Manager, IVS Ltd, Hamilton

"We decided recently to use Everest’s recruitment service and we were delighted with the results. They were fast, systematic and knew all the right questions to ask. They quickly found us the ideal candidate, which worked out far cheaper than trying to do it ourselves alongside the rest of our busy work schedules."
