Marlissa van Heerwaarden

“Marlissa surpasses what larger organisations typically offer; you know, those larger entities with legal departments and all the accompanying structures. There’s always someone else to blame, right? At least, that’s how it usually goes. Marlissa, on the other hand, closes all the gaps and ties up all the loose ends. She has her own personal approach to how she presents herself and operates, creating a loving and caring environment for people. This is crucial in managing the HR aspect.”

“Marlissa is brilliant; she’s very helpful. She cuts straight to the chase and is a perfect fit for small businesses like ours. It’s just a perfect match—she understands where we’re coming from, and she’s very practical. Unlike consultants who push a specific system, she doesn’t have a set of templates or solutions she’s always trying to sell. Marlissa is hands-on and assists us with day-to-day challenges, providing custom solutions as needed. I truly appreciate that.”

“Working with Marlissa has been a very good relationship. Because it’s her business, she is very keen and enthusiastic to ensure she delivers. Whereas when you’re working with an internal HR person or team, that might not necessarily be the case. Working with Marlissa for a few years now has been the best HR experience I’ve had throughout my working life. If you’re looking for someone with really strong skills and experience across the entire spectrum of HR, Marlissa is an excellent choice. Her organisational and business management knowledge is top-notch. Additionally, her expertise in personnel and recruitment matters is highly commendable. She excels at getting the brief from you and understanding your needs.”

“Marlissa’s approach to recruitment is practical, pragmatic, and simple. She understood the type of organisation we are and the nature of our small town. She recognised the importance of finding a person who not only aligned with our organisation but also meshed well with our town’s unique characteristics and work environment. Marlissa was unequivocal in her approach and knew the most effective way to proceed. She was clear on the optimal strategy for identifying candidates who would seamlessly fit our requirements, although “advertise” might not be the exact term—more like the best approach for discovering candidates who matched what we were seeking.”
