TESTIMONIALS

‘[JacksonStone & Partners] have always been very professional and a delight to deal with. They are very thorough and efficient, and have a far reach of the market, which helps to get a very selective group of applicants. The other point I would like to raise – maybe the most important – has been their ability to assess the candidates and give very honest and straight answers to questions that are raised during this process.’

­– New Zealand Mayor.

‘[JacksonStone & Partners] service exceeded our expectations in terms of quality, timeliness and ease of transaction. JacksonStone worked well with me as chief executive and with our internal team to provide a seamless service to candidates, many of whom commented favourably on the process. They have excellent networks and presented a range of employable candidates for consideration.’
