From our clients & candidates

  • Amanda

    “Anita, you lead a team of experts who provide what feels like a truly personal service. I always feel well looked after and know that when I am recruiting for a role that all Forté candidates (the successful and unsuccessful ones) are well looked after by you and your team.”

  • Fiona

    Mōrena!

    This is my last day employed by Forté as a temp. I have accepted the permanent role and start next week. I have thoroughly enjoyed working for all three contract roles Forté have placed me in and have met some great people and had some amazing opportunities to grow and learn. I have found Forté to be the best agency I have engaged with and love your approach, you are very unique, professional and caring. You have all been there if I needed you.

    I will definitely miss you all, but I am sure we will cross paths again. I wish you well in the future.

  • Maria

    Just a quick thank you for getting to know me today. This was a whole new experience for me, other country, other city, other people, first time on the train, first time in town... and then I got lost on top of everything... not even to mention the rain and wind. But... then I met nice people and at the end of the day it was actually an amazing experience. And now I am not so scared anymore.

  • Brendon Baker

    I've dealt with many recruiters over the last 3-4 years... and Matt Stewart exceeds 90% of them. His level of communication was outstanding... I knew I'd get feedback from him at the end of each day, when he said he would, even if it was a 'no update yet, but i'll follow up tomorrow morning'. (so many recruiters don't!). Looking for a new job can be super stressful and the process is often filled with fluff and false promises... I truly valued the 'realness' that Matt offered—I felt that he held what was in the best interest for myself and the employer, throughout the whole process.

  • Gill Marshall

    Wanting to return to employment after a lengthy absence, I approached Forte Recruitment. Shayna was able to dissect my resume to find my transferrable skills and experience and apply them to the job opportunity. She was extremely well briefed on her client's requirements and preferences and was open minded enough to put me forward, although I did not have all the relevant experience the client was initially looking for. I am now in the fourth month in the job and enjoying every minute. Thank you, Forté for a positive and supportive experience.
