Great teamwork at ABLE Personnel Services! Organized, friendly, professional, providing a top quality service. Thank you!
Natalya – Jobseeker, Oct 2022
What a great team at Able Personnel! I was very impressed with their service and personality. These ladies are wonderful and certainly made my day, week, year, finding me a position in under a week.
I highly recommend the company and I found Jaegan to be very personable. Thank you so much!!
Tania – Jobseeker, Aug 2022
I met with both Hollie and Jaegan regarding several potential positions and found them both to be very approachable and professional with a clear understanding of their clients needs. It wasn’t long before they had narrowed down a role that suited my skill set, supported my goals and would provide benefit to their client.
From the initial meeting through to the hiring process and the continued ongoing support and calls to check if there was anything else they can do, these people are absolute superstars! In fact the whole team have been so helpful and lovely to deal with. Service is definitely their speciality! I’m loving my role and learning some additional skills along the way. So pleased I met with these wonderful people. I can’t
recommend them highly enough…Thanks Able Personnel.
Anna – Jobseeker, Aug 2022
I can’t speak highly enough of Hollie, from understanding and knowing her clients brief to reading me like a book and knowing which role would be the best fit for me, Hollie is an ABSOLUTE star. Hollie had a
very thorough knowledge of her clients needs and was clear about why she was putting me forward for the relevant roles. I felt comfortable discussing my needs and wants regarding future employment and
Hollie was considerate and insightful in helping me with the interview process. I was offered two roles after successful interviews and had a job offer within one week. Thanks again Hollie, I’m hoping to have a
rewarding career ahead of me and i’ll be referring people who are looking at employment opportunities your way!
Jobseeker, Nov 2021
I just wanted to thank you for all you have done in finding somebody for our administrative role, I am beyond delighted but I also think the person we hired through Able will be awesome and fit in really well.
There is quite a bit that goes into finding somebody beyond just the skill set (although I now appreciate that is necessary), so thank you so much. I have enjoyed working with Able and will use you again and
definitely recommend others to use the same process – it’s been an interesting journey.
Jo – Hastings Business Owner

We have engaged the services of Able Personnel since 2013 for the recruitment of professional and non-professional rural based positions. We have found the service offered to be professional, efficient and committed. The recommendations, reference checking and follow up have been excellent. Their consultants’ communication and dialogue are empathetic and are a valuable part of the assignment. We would strongly recommend their services.
