I've been meaning to say thanks for you work with the EA role. It was an extremely tough ask, in a very short time frame, with a very demanding customer, and even though it didn't work out the fact that you were able to produce 3 candidates that met the criteria asked for upfront was great.
Cheers,
Matt Clayton
Recruitment Specialist, The Warehouse Ltd
Hi Jane,
Thank you so much for the presentation on Monday evening to our MBA students. The topics were very relevant for the students and your stories and points were invaluable.
I am very appreciative of the contribution of yourself and Katrina to our programme.
I hope you don't mind but I mentioned your wonderful contribution to our Dean Dr Geoff Perry and I suggested to him that if he was monitoring student/graduate skills and abilities then you would be an ideal person to talk with. Sometimes as part of our regular programme reviews and accreditation processes employers are consulted and asked for feedback.
Thanks again Jane (and Katrina). It was a real pleasure to have you in the classroom.
Kind regards
Barbara Myers
Senior Lecturer - Faculty of Business, AUT University
We recently placed our NZ Sales Manager through Frog Recruitment. Being on the other side of the Tasman, I totally relied on Frog to ensure I had high calibre candidates to interview for when I was in Auckland. Frog were able to match the needs of our dynamic Heat culture with Dynamic candidates! Most importantly they listened to us as a client and were therefore able to save me valuable time which is paramount for me. Nothing was too much trouble and I would recommend Frog if your firm wishes to recruit high quality sales people.
Damien Pound | Sales Director | Heat Group
I appreciate your works with us in 2010. We look forward to keep good working relationships with you in coming new years. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge great works done by one of your team members, Hassanah Rudd, in our new hires in 2010. Based on her solid understanding in Finance Industry and her enthusiasm, she provided differentiated services from other competitors. Thank you.

...what a lovely recruiter you are, honestly Emma I met (another recruitment company), and yourself makes it a change to have positive recruiters. You make it real Olivia.
Nadine Rathjens
“Frog has been extremely flexible and has often gone out of their way to accommodate our requirements.
What has stood out for us is that Frog’s candidates have met our criteria better than other suppliers we have briefed.
The candidates Frog Recruitment sent through without fail were exceptional. Frog had a great understanding of what we were after. They listened to us and understood us better than the other suppliers we had engaged for the same project. They didn’t waste our time sending us unsuitable candidates.
Frog was exceptionally helpful even if it meant having to push back on us in order to introduce a candidate they considered important we meet.
Having an understanding of what the business needs when they take the brief – this the Frog point of difference – they listen.
We briefed our other suppliers in the exact same terms but we felt Frog listened and understood and we got the result we wanted.
I’ve worked with Frog on five positions and to date I can honestly say they have nothing to improve on in the way of service - and that’s not to say we haven’t made them jump through some hoops with our demands!
Frog as a recruitment outfit are not pushy - they touch base with us and have a good business understanding our operation and this makes the process so much easier.”
Jacqui Cullen | HR | Ports Of Auckland
“I have found Frog to be one of the most innovative, forward thinking recruitment agencies that I have dealt with and I certainly view them as market leaders from this perspective.
Not only do they think outside the square and constantly think about how they could do things better or in a more creative way for clients, they also focus a tremendous amount on candidates.
When we have asked them for ideas on how we could tackle difficult recruitment problems e.g. sourcing candidates in a very tight market, they have come up with some very creative suggestions, some of which we will be implementing.
For us, Frog have clearly differentiated themselves from most other recruitment agencies in the market and we can see them being a valuable business partner as they come to know our business, develop relationships with key managers and find many ways to add value.“
- Jane Davis, Talent Manager, The Warehouse Ltd 2006
"Words often tossed around lightly are integrity, and honesty. Frog truly personify these qualities in a down to earth, fresh, up beat way. There’s no fluffing, and there’s a lightness and sincerity in their approach that is refreshing.
A strong human side underlies their style, and practical communication maintained.
It’s lovely to work as a candidate and client, with a recruitment business that works in all sectors, isn’t the black suit brigade, with a maturity in style and approach."
A personal experience one of our clients (HR Manager) wanted like to share confidentially.
"We are all very pleased with our relationship with Frog and the talented consultants we have had the pleasure to work with to date. We do appreciate our partnership with Frog, and already consider Frog to be a preferred supplier for BankLink. Long may it continue!"
Jo Marmont, Human Resources Manager, BankLink
“An ingenious recruitment company”
Linda Hart, HR Director
“One of the reasons we continue to use Frog as our preferred recruitment partner is that we know they will care for all candidates the way we care for our staff. The experience of unsuccessful candidates is important as, while they may not be right for this job they may be perfect for the next [and they are bound to tell others if they have a bad experience]. This gives us confidence that our image in the market – our employment brand – is in good hands.’
I appreciate the way Frog act as recruitment partners by sharing market information, trends and sound advice, to assist with our work force planning, not just plugging gaps.”
Carole Faraji, HR Manager
"Frog has been fantastic at observing the rules of engagement with all contact coming through our recruitment team. We have had absolutely no issues, the partnership approach has continued and Frog supplies to us in all sorts of areas, including temporary throughout the business. We enjoy working with Frog, they do a great job, and they provide a great service and support us in all sorts of areas. Frog is really good to do business with."
Anne Casey, The Warehouse
“We have sourced our Temporary Staff through Keri McAdam for a number of years. We have found the quality of temporary staff to be very good and Kerri has always understood what our needs are. We are impressed by the way Frog Recruitment look after their staff and the 3 way communication between Frog Recruitment, the client and their staff at all times. We are very happy to recommend Frog Recruitment to future clients.”
Judy-Anne Hogg, Premises Manager, Academic Dress Hire
"I thoroughly enjoy dealing with Frog Recruitment’s Temp team as they offer a truly professional service that always deliver us with the right person that will fit our business."
Trudie Ward, Human Resources, Pfizer New Zealand
“... I have gone out to another agency as well but would prefer to deal with Frog regarding temp assignments as you have always given us quality and been great to deal with”.
Yvonne O'Callaghan, Customer Services Manager, BankLink
