Naomi Fitzpatrick13 August 2024 Alison was really helpful and supportive! I would recommend her to anyone needing help in this area 😊 Chris Addis8 November 2023 Contracts of employment drafted and drawn up and implemented within one week. Team are friendly, easy to deal with and are always on hand to offer guidance. A must have for any small business looking to take on employees. Jenna Harrison23 February 2023 I could not recommend Metis HR enough! I have worked closely with Alison, Andy and Vicki, they have all been so helpful and knowledgeable. They have spent many hours helping me perfect important documents, and have educated me on employment law and how it affects my role. Everyone is so friendly and professional too. Worth every penny! Eugene Gallagher16 February 2023 I started working with Metis HR a couple of months ago. It all started with a simple phone call to Andy who was super knowledgable and super helpful on a particular matter. I was so blown away that I committed to working with them over the next few years. Everyone I have spoken to have been great! I really feel like I have been looked after and would not hesitate to recommend this team to anyone thinking of joining. Sarah Rekia14 January 2023 Metis were recommended to me to assist with a possible Tupe and within minutes of talking to Andy, any doubts I was having had completely disappeared. HR is a minefield to me and I have been outsourcing it for some time. In that time, I had received very little support and on the rare occasion I required advice, letter templates Metis offer as standard, were usually at an additional cost. Metis provided me with a quotation and I did not hesitate to transfer my business to them. Not only were they cheaper than my current provider, they have filled me with total confidence to pursue the growth of my company. Amy Lilleywhite20 September 2022 As a company we have worked with Metis HR for a number of years now, and they have helped us immensely when any problems have arisen.
