Early Years Recruitment

We’ve been working with the lovely Penny for about 6 months now and Penny has been a fantastic support in partnering with us around providing for temporary staffing needs, particularly when we’ve needed an overflow of extra staff. And in regards to understanding market needs and insights into what’s happening out there in the SA market. Also, in coming into our business and understanding our culture, coming into our centres and getting to know our Directors and team members, that enabled Entrée and Penny to provide us with excellent staff. For us it’s really been the quality of the staff that Entrée has provided and the ease of their staff coming to our centres and assisting in looking after our children and liaising with our families. It’s really been high quality staff that Entrée has provided for us. Also, providing salary information if we’re looking in the market and trying to benchmark where we sit in the market. Those sorts of insights from Entrée are very helpful in helping us make business decisions.

All of the staff you have placed with our programs have been fantastic. Each have brought a high level of professionalism to their work and have slotted in so beautifully into our teams. Working with children on the spectrum can present some unique challenges but each of your workers has taken it in their stride, applied their early childhood skills appropriately and demonstrated incredible initiative and adaptability. I am so glad to have connected with you last year and look forward to our continued partnership throughout the remainder of the year.

Very positive and rewarding experiences. Penny is always able to offer what we require, whether it be a casual cook, educator or a permanent staff member. Always a quick turn around. Phone calls never go unanswered. Friendly and helpful recruiters. Always asking for feedback. We have a wonderful professional relationship. Penny is wonderful to work with. Friendly, happy and very relatable. She knows the field of work inside and out and that is due to coming from the early childhood sector herself. We love Penny.

The quality of the staff we have received has always been great. I have also enjoyed the opportunity for additional training and this week we are looking forward to the breakfast. Penny has always made it very easy for us to get staff at short notice. She is always helpful, happy and easy to deal with. I find the video job advertisements a lovely fresh approach to see Penny in these advertisements and the information is verbalised in a way that is makes it clear exactly what she is promoting. It’s a pleasure doing business with Entrée. We don't use your service every week but when we do it’s like dealing with friends.

Penny gets back to the centre to let us know what is happening faster than the other agencies. I ring Penny to discuss many issues or to pick her brains on issues relating to child care. I value her opinion respect her experience and can have a very professional and open discussion. As a Director you have a bank of people you can speak to about issues in child care and Penny is high on that list. Penny takes time to visit the centres so she knows about the centre where Entrée is suppling staff this makes all the difference. The other event that stands out which says so much about who Penny is from a professional point of view and her values as a person. In summing up she has a wealth of knowledge, cares about the different centres, is a pleasure to work with and is always a very clear communicator.
