TestIMONIALS

At IMP our clients’ experiences speak volumes about the difference we make. Their stories highlight how our tailored HR and recruitment solutions have helped businesses build stronger teams, maintain compliance, and achieve lasting success. Discover firsthand how partnering with IMP can transform your business.

IMP partnered with Resolve Plumbing to review our safety management system end-to-end and provide a straightforward gap analysis. They helped identify and remove compliance gaps, and assisted in rewriting our policies and SWMS in clear, practical language tailored to how we operate. Kristy then trained me on how to update and maintain our documents over time, so we can keep everything current and consistent as our work evolves.


The result is a compliant, workable system, and greater confidence meeting WHS and client requirements. We’ve found IMP to be responsive, professional, and really easy to work with. Kristy took the time to understand how my business runs so the solution actually fits, it’s not some off-the-shelf product. It’s the kind of support that gives you confidence to get on with the job, knowing your systems are solid and covered.

Director:Rob Shaw

On behalf of PE Global Australia, I highly recommend IM Partners for their outstanding recruitment services. They have been a reliable partner across both executive search and specialist hiring, consistently presenting shortlists that balance technical capability with cultural fit. Their approach is thorough: market mapping, discreet outreach, structured assessment, and clear, honest feedback at every stage.


IM Partners also excels in offshore recruitment. They guide candidates and hiring managers through sponsorship pathways and documentation with clarity, coordinating seamlessly to keep timelines on track. Candidate care has been excellent, and communication is proactive and transparent, which has materially reduced our time-to-hire and strengthened retention.


What we value most is their blend of professionalism and practicality: they listen, tailor the search, and stand by the result. We recommend IM Partners with confidence to any organisation seeking a dependable partner for executive recruitment, hard-to-fill roles, and compliant sponsorship/offshore hiring.

Managing Director: Evelyn Piliouras

Their expertise, responsiveness, and commitment to excellence have played a pivotal role in fostering a positive workplace culture and ensuring our HR operations run smoothly and efficiently. IMP Partners consistently demonstrate a deep understanding of our organizational needs, and their proactive approach has been instrumental in helping us navigate complex HR challenges with confidence.

Chief Executive Officer: Matthew Cush

Navigating HR and staying on top of legislative changes can be challenging and time-consuming for any business owner or manager, especially in HR-intensive business environments like ours. For over two years, we’ve relied on the services of Kristy and IMP, and they’ve consistently delivered exceptional support tailored to our business needs.


From injury management to recruiting the right candidates and managing employee performance, they understand our operations inside and out. Their expertise gives me peace of mind, knowing our HR requirements are being handled professionally and proactively. This allows me to focus more on the quality and output of our product.


Kristy and IMP are key components of our operations. I highly recommend them to any small or medium enterprise aiming to invest in effective HR practices, reclaim valuable time, and confidently scale their operations.
