Great Team

Elizabeth and Dean have a great team to help with all our HR needs. Kelowna HR has helped me and my small business, Top Grade Tire Recycling, as we grow. They have helped me build with projects from building a policy manual, emergency contact list, job descriptions, and employment contracts, all within a budget that is easier to handle than hiring your own HR on staff. The best part about Kelowna Hr is the relationship isn’t done after you pay the bill. I have gone to them on many small HR related issues that pop up in the year and they offer great council along the way. They are a necessity to all small businesses.

Excellent Career Transition Support

I am writing to thank you for the excellent support and advice you gave me as I worked to transition my career to Vancouver Island. Using the techniques you suggested I was able to quickly expand my professional network and develop a target list of companies. I am very happy to tell you that this morning I signed an employment agreement for a position I am excited about with one of my target companies in Nanaimo and I start work in April. I will happily recommend you to anyone I find looking for career services.

You Will Not Be Disappointed

This will attest to my experience with Kelowna Human Resources, and specifically, Elizabeth Neef.

I have had some very challenging situations in regard to hiring and terminating employees over the past six years. In each situation, Elizabeth provided me with insightful counsel which enabled me to make an informed decision, serving our Company well.

I have worked with other human resource companies in the past who did help me to a degree, but they are not in Elizabeth’s league – she is the best!

I do not hesitate to encourage you to work with Elizabeth Neef and Kelowna Human Resources – you will not be disappointed.
