Testimonial
It is with much enthusiasm that I am writing to recommend the services of Gina & Partners.
Gina & Partners placed four Japanese staff with Mercure Queenstown Resort in July 2023. The company ensured a smooth transition of the employees into the workplace through their exceptional professional service and the outstanding level of care and support that they provide to them. The Japanese staffs are wonderful! They are very hard-working, quick learners and excellent team players, who quickly became an integrate part of our team. Their English language capability has improved greatly since commencing employment and it has been a pleasure seeing them become more confident when communicating and engaging with the rest of the team.
