"I have engaged Rachel Pook via AtollHR on a number of occasions now to support with ER matters where the HR team were in some way conflicted - or just stretched. She feels like an extended, independent member of my HR team now. Each time, I have found Rachel to be very professional, extremely knowledgeable and flexible in her approach (even supporting when on holiday). Her HR advice and judgement are unquestionable and she is able to support inexperienced managers through difficult ER processes. She is very reliable and I would highly recommend her. I will certainly be contracting her again as and when required."
