Testimonials.
"We trusted Bluestone HR to advise on and manage our company's first recruitment push. We had a very positive experience and felt fully supported throughout the entire process."
"Emma has been instrumental in creating employee contracts, advising on HR policy and generally assisting me with any areas that are all new to me. Her skills are up to date, relevant and she is able to explain complicated processes in a manner that makes it easy to understand. A real asset."
"We have grown over the past year and we almost certainly wouldn't have been able to do it well without Emma's support. I interviewed seven HR consultants and invited our Staff Engagement Group to interview the final two along with me. Emma was totally unphased, and made such an impression. She is honest, knowledgeable and fast-moving. It has been a complete pleasure to work with her, and I trust her judgement absolutely."
"One of my best decisions was to hire in Emma Ferry at Bluestone HR to provide retained HR support to our small charity. Emma has provided us with a high class professional service that is personal, bespoke and highly responsive to our needs and requirements. We have had an eventful year but we have coped well as an organisation and team of people and that has a lot to do with the service Emma has provided us with. I would recommend Bluestone HR to others in our sector without hesitation."
"Emma kindly supported us through the stressful and challenging experience of having to make staff redundant during the pandemic. She brought her years of HR experience, guiding us expertly through the process in a responsive and efficient way. But she also brought an understanding of the emotional strains both our employees and we were facing, being a small business having to go through an upsetting and distressing period, acting with kindness towards both ourselves and our affected staff members, and going above and beyond the call of duty. I hope we don’t have to go through a similar experience again, but if we did there would be no one we would prefer to help navigate the complexities. We also look forward to keeping in touch with Emma about other HR matters on an ongoing basis."
"Emma provided valuable advice during a recent restructure which came about due to the impact of Covid-19 on our organisation. It was so reassuring to have Emma on hand to guide us through this unfortunate process. Her natural empathy, knowledge and expertise gave me the confidence to ensure we were acting sensitively to our employees and within the best interests of the charity."
"Emma is quite literally a HR lifesaver. Her knowledge and expertise has helped our organisation transition from being a volunteer led organisation to having a team of paid staff. We are looking forward to a long working partnership with Bluestone."
"As a small education charity we wanted to find expert HR advice to support our growing team. Emma and her colleagues fit the bill perfectly. They provide us with timely, professional, high quality information and guidance for a wide range of HR issues along with personalised support to help ensure the wellbeing of our staff."
"I have been working with Bluestone HR since November 2022 and have found Emma and her team great to work with. They have supported us not just with normal day to day HR support, ie calculating holidays, issuing contract but with recruitment as well. The recruitment aspect has been a god send as Bluestone co-ordinate everything, from placing the advert to screen candidates to ensure that they have the right to work through to inviting candidates to interview and pulling together an interview schedule. They have saved me hours of my time which is much better spent elsewhere and have taken the pain away from recruiting."
