OneStaff provided temporary labour to the Acrow Events team for the erection and dismantle of grandstands for SailGP at Lyttelton Harbour. OneStaff provided an outstanding service and are professional and reliable. Emilia and her team went above and beyond to understand our specific requirements, and found candidates that were a great fit for the team that we had in place, and the tasks we needed completed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other event infrastructure companies.

Progressive Engineering has engaged OneStaff for the last few years to arrange temporary labour to assist us through our busy season in the winter months each year. Such was the success and quality of their service of the temp placements we also gave OneStaff the task of finding us qualified engineers and electricians for permanent placement. Always understanding what our business needs, they were able to provide credible and suitable applicants that were what we required. We were able to employ these people with confidence due to the detailed background work that they did for us. I would have no hesitation in recommending OneStaff as a recruitment provider.
