"Working with Precision HR was a very good experience, professional yet friendly. As a small branch of a charity managed by volunteers, we had no expertise in HR matters. Unfortunately, we had to make an employee redundant, and we wanted to make sure we acted correctly and fairly in doing this. Precision HR Consultancy made sure that we did this. Their quick response and the friendly approach in the meetings, made us and the member of staff involved feel at ease."
