Client Testimonials

"Liska prepared me for an interview a couple of months ago and I walked out thinking: now I understand what everyone means when they say coaching is effective. So when I had a recent interview coming up I was struggling with, I knew to contact Liska. She has an excellent ability to tease out my experience and qualifications to match the job requirements; in a way, I couldn’t articulate myself for the upcoming interview I was struggling to prepare for. She is insightful, attentive and honest which are qualities I find essential in coach. I had a great experience with Liska and hope to have future opportunities to be coached by her!"

"Liska is a highly skilled and experienced executive career coach. Liska is engaged and spent time understanding my career history, what motivates me and helping me identify my career goals. Her approach was tailored to my current needs and it was clear I was receiving personalised advice and guidance, drawing on Liska’s extensive sector knowledge and insights. Working with Liska was extremely rewarding. She was supportive and encouraging, pushing me out of my comfort zone and starting me on the journey to secure my dream role. I would highly recommend Liska, she is professional, authentic, generous and acts with integrity."

"I ended up accepting the job offer under Claire’s portfolio and could not be happier. Whilst I accepted the role because it excited me, and also because the SVP was someone I would feel honoured to work with, I also accepted the role because of Claire. She was able to share with me, knowledge and insight regarding the gentleman who was hiring and brought a level of reassurance to my decision. Whom I work with is the most important factor for me in selecting a position, and Claire’s input provided this confidence.

What impresses me the most about Claire is her genuine passion and soul for her job. She understands she is not just filling vacancies … she is shaping someone’s life. She shows care and passion equally for BOTH parties, which I have not seen managed well in previous recruiters. She balances both motivations and needs and builds rapport. Her support doesn’t stop just because she’s hired, someone … she came back to the office and delivered a beautiful bunch of flowers. And above all … Claire’s passion for education shines through in all her conversations. I’ve worked with many recruiters, but the way Claire understands and can recognise someone with a true passion for education is a gift and is only found in those who genuinely care."

"Claire Lording is a great recruiter, she knows how to match teams in the Education sector that are the best fit for both employer and employee. The process was handled from start to Interview stage with honesty, integrity under very tight deadlines. I am very grateful for the support from Claire and the Beaumont Consulting team."

“I have had the great pleasure of being both a candidate and customer with Beaumont People over the past 15 years and have found them in both cases to be professional, committed and enthusiastic. As a candidate they are one of the rare recruitment agencies who consistently treat each person with dignity and respect and proactively participate in the job search process. Their consultants are warm, professional and genuinely interested in your future. When recruiting for your company they are concerned about finding the best candidate that matches not only the job requirements but is also a good fit with your corporate culture. All my interactions with Beaumont People and their excellent staff have had positive outcomes and have , without fail, been enjoyable experiences.”

"Sourcing and appointing a new CEO is arguably chief among the evolving myriad of crucial tasks confronting an industrious, well meaning but ultimately time poor board of (voluntary) non executive directors.  So too then become arguably equally important the questions of what process and who to work with. We have been aware for some time that Beaumont is an if not the industry "big dog" and felt comfortable enough to leverage our reputation through its networks.

Little did we know then, however, just how good Liska would be! She swiftly grasped and then represented the subtleties of our story, listened to and balaned our pool of wants and needs, and finally served up a spectacularly strong, varied, thoroughly researched and well briefed long list of excellent candidates for us to consider. She also helped us think about how best to do that - but discreetly left us to do our proper selective work.

Good job, well done and thank you Liska!"

"St George Community Transport recently used the services of Beaumont Consulting in the recruitment of a Chief Executive Officer.

From the initial meeting with our consultant, Liska Turner, we were impressed with the professionalism and experience of the Beaumont team. Liska specialises in the Not for Profit/Charity segment and is fully conversant with the special issues this segment poses in the recruitment process. Liska has very detailed knowledge of the business and operational issues of the sector, which was very beneficial in specifying the profile of our ideal candidate. This assisted in the process and ensuring that the short list of people was suitable but also provided a range of styles that could provide a comparison.

As Volunteer Directors we appreciated the use of the Beaumont offices in the final interview process and Liska's attention to detail in planning the interview process made the process very efficient and seamless. Liska's management of the entire process was exemplary. We would have no hesitation on recommending Beaumont People for your recruitment projects."

"In leading a team of sales and support professionals, it is important to keep them up to date with market trends, give them new ideas on how to stay focused and enthusiastic, and obviously give them quality training and insights. Over the past three years I have found the Beaumont People morning events a fantastic way to bring my team together offsite and start the day with a quality education session. We always get value out of it and refer back to the sessions in our team meetings. For anyone leading a team I would highly recommend getting them together and attending these morning events".

"Justine and Beaumont People have developed a sound understanding of our business needs and the unique culture of our organisation. This relationship has enabled Justine to provide us with high calibre applicants, where we have recently just experienced an an immediate fit into our team with our latest recruit through Beaumont People. Justine has always been professional, honest and reliable and I would not hesitate in recommending Beaumont People’s services. A valuable recruitment partner with an approach that goes beyond just matching skills and experience to a job description. Always a pleasure".

"I've had the pleasure of working with Liska as both a candidate and a client. In all my interactions I've found her to be extremely professional showing genuine interest and care, focused on high quality outcomes and has an exceptional knowledge of the for-purpose sector. Her consultative manner sets her apart in the industry and I highly recommend her to any employer or candidate."

“Liska Turner is the person that I turn to whenever I need to recruit a senior position for The Shepherd Centre. Liska takes the time to find out exactly what we need and will help us to figure out what we need when we aren’t sure. She will put forward a small list of candidates that all match the brief and most importantly fit with our corporate culture. The candidates are always of a very high calibre making the interview and decision making process easy and efficient. Liska doesn’t walk away once an employment offer is made but will follow up with both the candidate and the employer to ensure that both sides are happy well after the new employee has started. I can’t recommend Liska more highly. She will find the right candidate for you and the whole process will be efficient and easy saving you time in both the short and long term.”  

"In 2012, SCU elected to strategically partner with a professional recruitment specialist. We identified Beaumont People as having the required credentials and entrusted them to recruit permanent and temporary roles within our organisation. The partnership has been very successful as I have found their consultants to operate professionally and with integrity. The partnership is in its fourth year and I continue to value their expertise in this highly specialised area".

"Claire and the team at Beaumont People were an excellent choice for our recruitment needs.  We had a relatively short deadline, but Claire worked hard to seek out the right candidates for us to interview. No easy task on the run up to Christmas. Claire stayed in touch regularly throughout the search, keeping me updated, and giving detailed information about candidates. Her customer service both before and after recruitment could not be faulted".

"During the last few years, Claire has become a valued and trusted consultant to UNSW and our first point of contact when we require the services of a recruitment agency. Claire consistently provides us with quality candidates on every occasion and always meets required deadlines. Claire has the ability to 'get it right the first time' and her judgement is always spot on. Partnering with Claire and Beaumont Consulting has always been a stress free and lovely experience for us and one we look forward to continuing in the future."

"I engaged Christina from Beaumont People NFP to recruit a critical Communications & Marketing role within our team. The role had been vacant for a number of months and was proving extremely difficult to fill. Within two weeks we were presented with two ideal candidates and a short time later appointed one to the role.
 
Christina understood the brief of the role and the sensitivities around cultural fit well. She acted with integrity and dedication to ensure the candidates presented were of the highest calibre.
 
I would like to recommend Beaumont People NFP on their commitment and professionalism in delivering a service that is both cost effective and of high value."

"I am the Legal Support Manager for two legal teams at the Crown Solicitor’s Office and I have used Beaumont People for approximately two years.

Erin introduced herself to me over a year ago when she came to the office for a “meet and greet”. Since then I have sought legal secretaries from Erin on a regular basis.

I feel that Erin and I have a good working relationship.  She responds well to my requests, knows what the CSO looks for in a legal secretary (so I don’t have to put my needs in an e-mail each time I am looking for a secretary) and she communicates well with me, keeping me up-to-date with new candidates, letting me know who is available and her recommendations/thoughts on each person, is open to all feedback given and is extremely professional.  She also regularly phones to check up on legal secretaries she has placed at the CSO and has face-to-face communication with both the Legal Support Managers and the secretaries on a regular basis.

I like the fact that I can honestly speak to Erin and tell her that the candidate has worked out well or there are issues etc.  Because of this relationship and professionalism, Beaumont People is the first point of contact when I am sourcing a legal secretary."

"The first time I ever worked with a recruitment consultant was when I worked with Christina - and it was a brilliant experience! Christina is proactive and determined with matching the right opportunities with the right candidates, and communicative and thorough throughout the process.

Having wanted to move into the not for profit space from the private sector, I had one interview with Christina, after which she efficiently set up a number of interviews for me with roles that closely aligned with my values and experiences.

Her professionalism and ability to set expectations and manage stakeholders was brilliant during this process and I am now super excited to move into my new role in a national charity and further grow my career, thanks to her support!"

"Liska from Beaumont People has been a great resource to St John to find the right talent suited to our business needs. She has done this by understanding our needs, the market environment. She then applies this knowledge of to the talent pool she has to find the best fit. Her attention to detail and professionalism have resulted in great value from the perspective of saving time for me when it comes to screening CV,s and reference checks. I would recommend Liska and Beaumont People for your business."

"Liska is a highly consultative and responsive professional. She works very hard in matching the right people to client needs and will go out of her way to ensure that she secures people who offer the cultural fit that is so important in organistaions. Liska is very approachable, always follows through and stays in touch to ensure all is working well for both candidates and clients post employment"

"I write on behalf of Peer Support Australia to thank Beaumont People for your ongoing support of our organisation; most recently through the use of your boardroom for our Board Strategic Planning Day. This meeting will be critical to our sucess into the future and by being able to utilise a central location such as your office made it easier for all our Board Directors to attend in person.

Whilst all my interactions (over many years) with Beaumont People staff is always excellent, on this occassion I would like to single out Megan Mort. Megan was well organised and very attentive to our needs, from lead up through to the day itself. I have enclosed a Certificate of Appreciation as a token of our gratitude."

"I would like to thank Beaumont People for their diligent and comprehensive recruitment process. I have been pleased with all aspects of the permanent recruitment process as I have with your ability to source quality staff. This is a credit to your staff and organisation." 

"I have worked with Katherine and Beaumont People for the last 12 months. From the first time we liaised, I found Katherine to be a very professional, warm and strong character. Katherine is someone whom you can trust and build a relationship with immediately, which is effortless.

Katherine understands the requirements for the business, and always informs me of potential candidates that will enhance our business. Katherine has always been a pleasure to speak with and takes the time to build strong relationships with her candidates, getting to know and support them throughout their assignments. Katherine understands the sense of urgency in placing candidates and has never failed to provide high-quality candidates that are self-motivated.

Beaumont People has a very people-centric approach that goes beyond the standard matching skills and experience to a position description. I can always feel the difference in a candidate who has come through Beaumont People as they are focussed, committed and want to succeed."

"Beaumont People are consistently there when we need them.  Their friendly staff are always happy to help and are quick to action any requirement I throw their way.  Their value for money and experience in the NFP sector means we keep coming back to them, and the added value of the seminars and workshops they provide is a fabulous bonus!"

"Thank you for the excellent service in hosting our Board meeting yesterday; it couldn't have gone better, and the Board were impressed. I was able to see firsthand the professionalism and positive culture that obviously pervades Beaumont People, and I was very impressed (though not at all surprised!). When I was waiting in the foyer everyone who walked by stopped and asked me if I needed any help – with a huge smile in their voice, excellent service!"

"We engaged Beaumont People to find the perfect candidate for the newly created role of Membership Development Manager to spearhead a complete revamp of our membership offering, and ensure best practice engagement, retention and acquisition as well as the development of new member benefits and services to massively increase the value generated through membership of the Australian Gift & Homewares Association. Beaumont People found two ideally suited candidates, making me wish we had the resources to employ both of them. What I liked about Beaumont People prior to engaging them, apart from their specialist Association/NFP division, was their focus on values and integrity as the foundation of their business ethos. What I liked about them during the recruitment process was the professional, communicative and responsive way they handled the big picture as well as the little details that gave me a strong sense of confidence and assurance. What I like about them going forward is their follow up and their commitment to continue delivering on the lasting impression they have made."

"Our organisation has been extremely satisfied with the quality of service that we have received from Beaumont People.  The Temp hires were all of a very high standard and were well suited to the work that they were required to perform.  Thank you Jo for all of your assistance when we really needed additional professionals in our business."

"What I like most about working with Jo at Beaumont People to hire our temporary staff, is that I know the candidate will be well vetted and well briefed."

"I used Beaumont People before when I was an internal recruiter at Datacom and had a very good experience. Melanie then placed me here at Trend Micro.  She is approachable, reliable and provided me with expert and valuable advice."

"I have been working with Beaumont People for at least the last 4 years with the current company that I am in and have never been disappointed by the quality and calibre of candidates that we receive from them, both temporary and for full time positions.. I highly recommend Beaumont People for your recruitment needs as I know that you will not be disappointed with the results...."

"I will not hesitate to call on Nicole and Beaumont People again for any of my staffing needs and highly recommend them to any business who wants fast, professional and personalised service."

""Beaumont People has provided the organisation with recruitment services to since 2010. Beaumont has also advised us on our HR strategy when required. Michelle Maye has acted as our principal contact since 2010 and we have found her services to be of the highest quality.... We believe she has demonstrated a high level of expertise and experience in the recruitment area, particularly with respect to the not-for-profit sector."

'"Beaumont People have really been leaders in supporting the NFP sector.  We have been so impressed with their commitment to making a difference in this space – both through their day to day business also well as the activities that go above and beyond. Last year, Beaumont People supported Variety’s Scholarship program – allowing us to help even more children who face challenges in their life to reach their full potential.  Their recent commitment to running the LEAD NFP mentoring program is just one more example of the support they provide to the practitioners within the NFP sector, and makes a very real difference to the ability of charities to provide quality training opportunities for their upcoming leaders.  All of this comes on top of their ongoing provision of cost effective services to charities.  The team go above and beyond to deliver outstanding service in an affordable way, allowing charities to access professional support that’s so important to achieving our goals".
