"The staff was really kind and they helped me to find a job when I was unemployed. This is something I really appreciate.
The staff person, named Andrea French, not only presented my Resume to the company, but also prepared me for the interview in advance.

Lastly, I can say that Allura Partners have very big clients under them who look for Part-time, Full-time or Casual employees, so seeking out their services is highly recommended."

Muhammad Hamza Dawood, Finance Administration Officer
"Really appreciate Andrea's help in securing a new role. She was professional and personable; maintained regular contact (even if it was just to say "sorry, haven't got anything suitable for you this week"); and selective in sharing only opportunities that matched what I was looking for as well as ensuring my personality matched with the teams I would be applying to. I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again when/if I need to find a new role."
