Tamaryn Ward

"Cannot recommend Joanna highly enough as a hospitality recruitment specialist. From the very beginning, she was professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in finding the right fit — not just any placement. She truly understands the hospitality industry and the kind of personalities and skill sets that thrive in it.
Her communication was clear and consistent throughout the process, and I always felt supported and informed. A special mention must go to her assistant, who was absolutely priceless. Efficient, warm, and incredibly organised, she made the entire experience seamless and stress-free.
Together, they are a powerhouse team. If you’re looking for a recruitment agent who goes above and beyond in hospitality, Joanna is the one.

" Kerri-Leigh was exceptional throughout the entire recruitment process. She was professional, responsive, and genuinely supportive from start to finish. What stood out most was that her involvement did not end once I secured the role. She followed up to ensure I was happy, asked thoughtful questions, and showed real initiative in making sure everything aligned with my expectations. It is clear that she cares about long-term fit and not simply filling a position. She consistently went the extra mile, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a dedicated and invested recruitment professional."
