Bec is super lovely. I've been lucky enough to experience Bec's professionalism as both a candidate and client over the years and never hesitate to get in touch when the need arises or recommend Entrée's services to others. The service is always fast, reliable, easy & delivered with a smile. Entrée have never failed to meet expectation, response times are speedy and always professional and personable. What I appreciate most about dealing with Entrée is the feeling that is about the right people fit, not just another check box to book assignments regardless of finding the right people for the culture of the organisation. It is for exactly this reason that I sought out to have Entrée added to my new employers books.
The support team are also wonderful, and recently with Bec starting maternity leave Briony has been introduced to our organisation - this has been seamless. Bec, Briony & Breeanna always deliver fantastic services with the biggest of smiles.

University of South Australia - Rebecca Sutherland
Jo is very thorough in understanding the needs of the client and does not miss even the slightest detail. I feel that due to her close and longstanding relationship with Footers and our management, she understands what we need and what we like - therefore always finds the best fitting candidate. Jo maintains contact throughout the whole process (with both the client and the candidate) which I think is a nice touch. She maintains end to end contact to ensure the process is as seamless as possible and ensures all needs are met. She is easily contactable and follows up promptly.

Anglicare SA - Jennifer Hyde
Joanna was fast to act, and made things easy our end. The support staff person was good for our requirements. Joanna provided a professional and quality service. She was extremely quick to respond and offered solutions when the original placement did not work out. I would recommend Joanna to other businesses, and would not hesitate to contact her again should the need arise.

Excellent service provided by Samara. She responded very quickly when I asked for a temp. Video job advertisements: I love it! I often see them on Facebook and watch them even if the role/industry is not relevant to me. They are very well produced and give a great insight into the organisation you are recruiting for - a good way to entice passive candidates.

Everyone at Entrée with whom I have had contact over considerable years has been professional, helpful and very prompt with regard to enquiries and assistance. Rebecca is always a pleasure to work with and a consummate professional. I believe that Entree staff members value their candidates and labour-hire employees, not just their clients. That is a significant difference from many recruitment companies.

Hodgkison Pty Ltd (Architects) - Wendy Phelps
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.

Emali - Nadine Quarello
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.

Past participants of the Entrée Training & Development Leadership Lab have valued the ability to “workshop real life problems” through “practical conversations with real life examples”. Participants have appreciated “learning from others through experience” and “really value everyone’s support and input and ideas.” According to past participants, “the mixed experiences and backgrounds of the other participants” have provided “a good balance between theoretical background and sharing individual perspectives and reflecting on self.”

I found the program content to be highly relevant and professionally delivered by knowledgeable specialists. The timeframe for each session was perfect, being mindful that we are often not able to spend large amounts of time away from our offices and executives. I have taken away a number of useful strategies around communication, wellbeing/resilience and project management.

Overall I have learnt so much more than I was expecting to. I fully expected that some of the sessions would be like 'preaching to the converted' but the content was fresh and topical and definitely relevant. Overall it has been a very rewarding experience and one that I really thank my management for giving me the opportunity to undertake.
