Tanisha Smitherson

Business Manager, Gippsland Aboriginal Advocacy Support Services

I wish we had a time machine to go back and recommend Full Circle HR to ourselves 11 years ago. We’ve been told so many times that “no one is going to be as emotionally invested in your business as you are”. The next time someone tells us that, I am going to smile and tell them that they haven’t met Full Circle HR..

Katie Dawson and Pam Spurway

Owners, Cottage Garden Threads

Caitlin worked with us over six months to help us restructure the company, develop HR policies and processes, plan our staffing strategy, and recruit the right people to fill skills gaps on each team. After working with Full Circle HR, we’re now set up for success for the next phase of the company’s growth..

Elena Kelareva

CEO, GippsTech

The advice, support and process we needed for our business and received from Caitlin was second to none. Caitlin made herself available to us day and night, and even made follow up phone calls to see how we were faring on the weekend. We would highly recommend Full Circle HR to others!.
