What Our Clients Say

“As a small to medium business owner I don’t have the luxury of our own HR department so have called on Kathleen Tierney from Career Embassy over the past 15 years as the business has grown and employment laws have changed. Whether it be Employment Contracts, HR Advice, Can & Can’t Do’s Kath has always given us guidance but most importantly in a way we can actually understand it.

HR can be a complicated minefield and having Kath on call for advice has been of great benefit allowing good business decisions to be made “

Jeff Fahey-Gilmour

Partner, GO TLC

“Kath has looked after Cliff Farms HR requirements for quite a number of years now, and we are grateful for her knowledge and support. Career Embassy services we have used include letters of employment, answering my many questions about award changes and specific award minimum requirements.

When we had to let someone go, Kath supported us to make sure we were compliant and nothing could ever come back on us. Kath has developed a sound knowledge of farming over the years to support the expert advice she provides, and tailor’s letters to meet client and Fair Work obligations. She knows the Fair Work maze inside out and from my perspective – you don’t know what you don’t know! So, it helps us to have someone who does know where to find the answers.”
