Kylie Whaitiri
Moving to Gisborne I found it difficult to get into the local employment arena. Contacting and meeting with Team QPL was one of my best moves. They have represented me in employment for over two years now and have been placed in three different roles.
I couldn’t be more thrilled with the support and thought gone into my placements, plus the ability to receive a consistent weekly pay, when not in permanent employment was a relief.
Whilst my employment was termed casual, QPL have always considered my request for 40hrs per week and treated me as a valued employee.
As a final act - QPL have successfully helped me transition into a permanent role with a client they placed me with casually.
I recommended friends to QPL who have also been treated with the same respect and I assure you, if you commit to the work and keep up good communication, this is available for anyone.
A very professional, but personable approach from the QPL team has left me with a spring in my step and a workplace confidence moving forward.
I thank Liz & Lisa very much for their support.
