The HR Dept has been providing the American Museum with HR support.

The HR Dept has been providing the American Museum & Gardens with two kinds of assistance during the past year: ongoing support for personnel matters (and we have had several of them) and a special arrangement to provide us with support for a complete reorganisation of our senior leadership team, which has been complicated and difficult. Stacey Mead has given us timely, comprehensive, and thoughtful support, advice, and documentation throughout the year. She is a real star, and I would recommend her -- and thereby The HR Dept -- to other organisations that need this kind of support.

Expert advice and service

Jayne and her team are always on hand with expert advice when required. I had an issue with a member of staff last year and they successfully helped me deal with it with minimum disruption and fuss to our business. It is an essential resource for our business.

Great service, will use again

The team at the HR Dept were professional and efficient in dealing with my recent need for contracts for freelancers. They explored my needs, understood the situation and any concerns I had and addressed them honestly. The work was completed promptly at a fair price. Will use again.

Highly recommend.

We cannot thank Margaret enough for all of the help and support she gave us recently. This was very clear and concise and she was always at the end of the phone when we needed her. We will definitely be recommending her service to others in need, and if ever we need her support in the future, we will not hesitate to get in touch.

Professional, knowledgeable and fast

In all of our dealings with the HR department we were made to feel that we were valued. The staff dealt with us with professionalism and knowledge right from the start and were very thorough and timely with our contract.
I would highly recommend them for job contracts and handbook's and they totally took away the stress of the task from me.
Thank you to everyone who helped me.

A Great Team to Work With

We've worked with HR Dept for several years, assisting them with recruitment advertising solutions across their extensive network.

The staff are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to all matters HR related. A friendly and professional team of people to work with on a daily basis.

Employee Contracts

The HR Dept was recommended to me as I needed an employee contract. They have been so helpful throughout the process, they have taken the time to fully understand my requirement and identified key points for me to think about during the recruitment process. I would recommend them for any small company looking for HR guidance and advice.

HR Dept Bristol

As a small company, and not having a inhouse
HR Dept, I approached Bristol Branch to sort a contact of employment for my member of staff.
I spoke to Rosalyn Mcleod who after listening to my requirements told me what I needed to do and that they could help me sort it, really was one phone call and the rest was sorted! within a couple of days the contact was sent over to me to check, there was no issues and it was finalised cant recommend both Roz and the HR Dept highly enough.

Excellent organisation for HR needs...

We used this organisation to recruit a CEO. It was a seamless process and excellent value for money.
They also offer a HR portfolio package to support SME businesses- an invaluable service that I 100% recommend.

We were assisted by the HR Dept in the recruitment of an Estate Director, a multi faceted role requiring strong leadership skills with emotional intelligence. Their input helped us to narrow down the list of applicants for interview and then, based on psychometric tests, to plan the final interview. The process was successful and a unanimous decision taken on the candidate selected.

The HR Dept (BRISTOL)
Since we started working with the HR Dept almost 2 years ago we haven't looked back. We started working with Heidi, who was great - very helpful and professional and have now been working with Rachel, who we are very thankful for helping us recently. She feels like part of the company and I would have been lost without her this year. We are very grateful, the service offered is friendly, professional and above all human. Would definitely recommend the HR Dept.
