Frog Contracting & Flexible Workforce Conference 2011

On Saturday 2nd July 2011, Frog Recruitment took great delight in hosting New Zealand's 1st ever Contracting & Flexible Workforce Conference. As part of our commitment to give back to our contingent workforce, this was a unique opportunity to provide valuable professional development skills, meet like-minded people, be entertained, hear from experts and strengthen ties to the team at Frog.

Since then we have been simply delighted at the continuous positive feedback we have (and still are) receiving from those who attended. From all accounts, we struck the right chord with the mix of speakers and dash of the entertainment factor. We are extremely proud to have produced such a successful event. Keep an eye out for the videos compiled from the day's presentations and feedback from the conference on our website later this month.


 
 
 

FEEDBACK FROM ATTENDEES:

As contractors, we have adapted to survive and flourish under circumstances often unacceptable to conventional employees.

Today Frog demonstrated that you view contractors as people and not commodities and this was so appreciated. We may not look human but we are!

Your careful attention to planning, detail  and delivery was first-class. I learned a great deal and have already put this into action – my Linkedin brand statement.

I am very pleased to be associated with Frog.

I just wanted to convey a big thank you for the amazing conference you put on last weekend. 
 
The topic was relevant, the speakers were of a very high caliber, the venue was fantastic and the refreshments were superb.

Overall it was a quality conference and, from a contractor’s point of view, an extremely positive reflection on Frog Recruitment as a forward thinking, creative and savvy business with a significant point of difference in candidate care.

I look forward to the next conference with anticipation.

Thank you so much for Saturday. 
 
I am sure your in-box has been filled with similar emails but I wanted to add mine to the pile.  The conference came at an excellent time for me given my contract is coming to an end next month and I am beginning to explore what to do next.
 
I came away with so much more information and confidence around contracting and I was also very impressed with FROG.  So, thanks again for my invitation and for such a great morning.

Thank you very much for the invitation to last Saturday's event.  The quality of the speakers was great and the range of presentations was both entertaining and educational.  I have paid significant sums in the past to attend events that come nowhere near the standard that Frog set - your follow up will be a challenge.  I am impressed with the agencies focus and hope to have the opportunity to represent both Frog and myself at some placement in the future.  I will be speaking to a couple of my very knowledgeable friends soon about the company and I will be recommending that they register with you (one is and ex CFO and the other a strategist working with central and local government).

Please pass on my compliments to the team and my best wishes for your continued success.

Thanks you and the Frog team for an outstanding conference on Saturday. It was great to be invited and I thought that the speakers, structure and theme of the conference was one best co-ordinated that I have been to, (along with great food, which is always a bonus!!)

A quick thanks for the conference on Saturday. I must say it was better than expected and you were right about my attending the contracting sessions, they were most interesting and informative and I thought James Griffin was a delight.
 
Well done to the team at Frog.

Just a quick note to restate my thanks for the workforce conference yesterday. It was really well put together and very relevant to me and the other delegates.

Kind regards

What an excellent conference! My friend and I went to lunch afterwards and talked over all the notes we had taken - very geeky I know, but we got such a lot out of it.

Also, a huge thank you to you and the rest of the frog team for such a fantastic conference Sat! It has made me get inspired and given me a bit to think about. I am giong to upgrade my LinkedIn asap.
