Sarah was so easy to contact and when I needed help with anything she was so clear with the instructions too. Sarah made this whole experience so much easier than I expected.

Sarah was thorough and engaged through our whole process. She has a beautiful, natural style and is warm and pragmatic. She genuinely wants the best outcome for client and candidate.
In the midst of the client brief, I had a lightbulb moment - you came to mind as one of the few people in your field that would be able to deliver upon the more challenging aspects of the role. Though I searched the best Talent Leads in Auckland, you were the standout candidate from the offset. Your eloquence never ceases to amaze me, as does your humility. I have enjoyed working with you again and watching your career grow. Congratulations,

I had such a positive experience working with Sarah Hernon from Cultivate. From the very beginning, she made me feel welcome and supported, taking the time to provide all the information I needed and answering every question I had with patience and clarity. Sarah’s warm and approachable style immediately put me at ease, and I genuinely felt like part of the Cultivate team throughout the process.
Thanks to her guidance, I am now happily working as a contractor and feel confident in the role. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a recruiter who goes above and beyond to ensure you feel informed, valued, and supported.
Anne Marie thank you for your kind review. It has been a pleasure working through this process with you. You are insightful, resourceful and the best researcher I have experienced in a candidate. I love that you had researched so thoroughly, you were able to advise the CE at interview - not surprising you were offered the role on the spot! CE recognised your talent immediately. As your referee said you were the secret weapon that enabled them to succeed in their C Suite role as you had everything else covered. I am confident this placement will be a great success.
