At the heart of
HR InSync
Our journey

Our business grew from less than 60 people to around 130 people in a short space of time and we realised that we needed assistance to bring structure to how our teams work together. We partnered with HR InSync to put our HR function in place. Everything they have suggested and implemented has added value. Our recruitment process ensures we bring in the right people for our business. Our organisation structure, role profiles and performance management system has brought clarity to everyone. All our HR initiatives have been customised to suit our particular culture. HR InSync designs and runs our management coaching programs. We can now say that our company is an Employer of Choice. With the best and most motivated teams we can truly provide exceptional customer service.

I have worked with Peta-Jean Kirkby and the HR InSync team since 2018. Firstly, when I was working at GEA Africa as Head of Human Resources and then when I moved to Johnson Controls International I ‘took HR InSync with me’. The company had been going through a major restructure and culture change and I contracted Peta-Jean to assist with this process. This project involved redesigning the organisation structure, mapping processes between divisions to identify blurred lines of accountability, duplication and inefficiencies. Once this was completed detailed role profiles were drafted and these were linked to performance contracts and Key Performance Indicators. Once again Peta-Jean showed her ability to deal with complexity, manage large projects, and manage all stakeholders including job incumbents during a sensitive time of change and restructuring. I have been extremely happy with HR InSync’s work and in conclusion I would highly recommend them as a specialist HR consulting partner.

My company’s vision is to bring healthcare to the people using technology. We are building and rolling out a healthcare eco system that allows access to healthcare across Africa. To scale a business of this size it is critical for us to have our HR structures in place. We are working with HR InSync to design our org structure, roles and performance excellence system. HR InSync has assisted us to convert complexity and high-level strategy into workable tools to allow me to manage my employees more effectively. HR InSync goes the extra mile to really understand me, my requirements and the uniqueness of my business model and of our company culture. I recommend them as HR specialists who make a difference.

We operate in a highly specialised field and to find the technical skills required is difficult. We can’t afford to have roles open for too long as we must ensure that client plants are running effectively and production down-time is minimised. In short, if we don’t have the right people in place, we run the risk of losing clients. The HR InSync team has recruited in excess of 15 Field Service Engineers for us. They source quality people quickly. The team are passionate about what they do and set a high standard of quality work.

We have a very unique culture and finding the right skills and culture fit for our organisation takes time, patience and dedication. We have tight programme deliverables and having calibre people on board who can work together to take our organisation to the next level is paramount. The HR InSync team doesn’t give up. They are highly committed and they are a provider that adds value.

We found exactly what we wanted and needed when we used HR InSync for our recruitment requirements. It has been like ‘shopping from a catalogue”. HR InSync is now our preferred supplier as Peta-Jean and her team always come through. Their level of quality service and accountability is noteworthy. For us they have set the standard for recruitment in the market.

BioCair South Africa has chosen HR InSync as our Preferred Supplier of recruitment services based on their excellent service and focus on delivery within tight deadlines. Our business has been growing in SA and the recruitment volumes have been high. They have placed the majority of our roles. While working with the HR InSync team, I can say that they focus on customer service and have gone the extra mile when recruiting for us. They have provided extra information regarding candidates and the job market. The team has further ensured that they work according to our organisational standards. We work in a specialist area and the skills are scarce and can be hard to find. HR InSync manages to source high calibre candidates within our budget by proactively searching and headhunting. Their fees are extremely reasonable. I can highly recommend HR InSync’s services based on our experience with the team. The team is professional and are specialists in recruitment.

I bought HR InSync in as our outsourced Recruitment Partner. I was very pleased that they integrated so quickly into the culture, gained a deep understanding of the business in a short space of time and offered valuable support to senior managers and the HR team. Peta-Jean’s integrity, ability to think strategically and focus on delivery makes her and the team an excellent service provider. Peta- Jean is very instrumental in partnering with and understanding your needs. She always goes the extra mile in making sure you are happy with her service. This is what I call business partnership.

The HR InSync team approach things differently. They go the extra mile to provide information on trends in the recruitment space, which supports me in my role as HR Manager. The team has placed roles that are difficult to fill. They persevere to find people with deep technical IT skills within our budget. HR InSync has also placed key resources at a strategic level who will introduce new initiatives and open markets to bring business growth.

It is an absolute pleasure working with the HR InSync team. I use HR InSync to place roles we battle to fill. They understand our sector and think ahead so I never have to ask them for anything - they keep me updated all the time. They only send me calibre people, and don’t waste my time with candidates who won’t fit into our culture. The process goes amazingly.
