McLaren Associates Limited

Our organization (NZ Institute of Quantity Surveying) was looking for a new Chief Executive, and the service provided was exceptional. Nikki guided us through the whole process, including advice at various stages and an ear to call upon when answers were required. I am so pleased that we chose McLaren's and would have no hesitation in recommending them for recruitment services.

The team at McLaren & Associates had a very good grasp of the role we were looking to fill. In a tight labour market were able to uncover outstanding candidates for us to interview. They were excellent at keeping the process moving forward - even when it was our turn with a particular part of the recruitment process.With the number of times our organisation has used them now, so efficient are the team at McLarens's I was even able to predict when a particular email was due to arrive to keep things moving forward. Contact with the team was always friendly and personal, yet professional.Thank you McLaren & Associates! We'll be back!

We chose McLaren Associates because of their reputation and experience recruiting for CEOs in the NGO sector. The professionalism and added value from working with the McLaren team was outstanding. We were a pro-bono Board recruiting for a high stakes CEO role and Kirsty knew exactly when our inputs were required and when McLaren lead the process. I have no hesitation recommending McLaren as providing a professional and personalised service that for us all went to plan with an excellent outcome.Jocelyn Brace: Board Chair, Community Connections

McLaren Associates have provided amazing support and advice throughout several recruitment processes we've been through this year with them. Everything was undertaken professionally, we were kept informed along every step of the way and the recent outcome was an excellent candidate accepting our offer. I'd totally recommend their services.

Professional, knowledge, friendly and extremely supportive and encouraging.Very quick to respond.

I think the interaction was amazing start to finish - Kirsty and her team are a pleasure to deal with. It is obvious also that McLaren deal in a specific sector which requires confidentiality and special care when appointing due to the nature of the roles and the organisations that they represent. I am please that I have found them should I ever need them in the future - I am hoping not as I am super excited about my new role!

What I like the most about working with McLaren Associates Ltd?- transparent, informative introduction of the role in the first place- friendly, but professional manner- very quick update/follow upThank you for your amazing work! Keep it up team!

Nikki and the McLaren team provided good communication throughout the recruitment process. They were pleasant to deal with, thorough, personable and real.

I would strongly recommend McLaren Associates for any company looking to employ the services of a recruiter. The entire staff are professional and courteous. Their communication is second to none and the commitment to excellence is outstanding. You can rest easy in the comfort that Kirsty and her associates will find the perfect candidate for your company.

Communication throughout was excellent, with no unduly long gaps where I wondered what was going on or left feeling like somebody else was the more favoured candidate. Ngan always did what she said she was going to, and (in contrast to some other experiences I've had) I always felt like my application was being assessed on its merits rather than on my age as an applicant.
