Kathryn and her team have excellent contacts, systems and, most importantly, listen to clients' and employees' requirements. I would recommend Kathryn as the pre-eminent legal recruitment agent in Auckland.

”Kathryn worked collaboratively with me to develop a mutual understanding of the requirements of the role and important relationships that the successful candidate would need to manage within our organisation.
This was aided by Kathryn's strong understanding of the workings of in-house legal teams. She then led a very well organised and efficient process of search and selection. It was easy to co-ordinate with Kathryn at each stage of the process for a great result.
Jonathon EarlGeneral Counsel, KiwiRail
”Artemis were a pleasure to work with throughout. Kathryn immediately understood the brief I had, and with her personal knowledge and insights of the in-house market, it meant we got the right fit (experience, skills and personality) for our team quickly and with no drama.
Kathryn and her team also understand the art of good communication and were proactive in keeping me informed at each step. I’d be happy to recommend Kathryn and her team.
Mark FlahertyGeneral Counsel, Southern Cross Healthcare
”Kathryn supported me in a sensitive recruiting process for two senior roles in my legal team. She quickly understood what we were looking for, including capabilities and fit for the team, and provided fantastic insight on and support for the candidates, engagement with the candidates, and the recruiting process. As our process involved internal and external candidates, the entire process needed to be transparent and objective and Kathryn was a critical part of making sure that happened.
Kathryn is well-connected, service-orientated, and a great communicator with client and candidates. She really understands the market and the conditions for success in a senior in-house legal role. We were extremely happy with the quality of candidates that were presented at all stages of the process.
Andrew CordnerDirector of Legal, Fonterra
”'Recruitment - how it should be’ comes to mind when I think about my experiences with Kathryn and the Artemis Team.
Kathryn listens to what her clients are looking for, it's not just about what is written on a CV but everything else about an individual that she presents to her clients to ensure a great match.
Kathryn and her team see it as a privilege to deal with businesses and people during the recruitment process, and understand there are important decisions happening for both parties about their futures. The Artemis team were professional, supportive and responsive all through the process.
Kathryn is much more than a recruiter-she is coach, leads the industry through setting a standard and genuinely cares about making a difference to businesses and people through her placements. Of course, at the same time she is down to earth and real, which is evident in all dealings with her team.
Sarah McCallumHead of Human Resources New Zealand, Aliaxis Group
