“HC Partners required expert HR knowledge and business support to help us ensure that our strategic and operational functions were on track.
Steve has assisted us with issues ranging from reviewing and rewriting our employee HR procedures & policies, recruitment advertisements and employment contracts to guiding us in the preparation for CPA/CA Quality audits.

“I have worked with Steve Booth for approximately 10 years. Steve's ability to look through the noise and technical clutter and guide you to the core problems and issues is invaluable. Steve is also a great guide and mentor for running through ‘what if’ type solutions as often you are too close and simply do not see that you can be introducing a new problem. Steve has been my consistent go to person when I need objective guidance. I highly recommend Steve and will continue to use him to improve the performance of my business.”
Jason Marsh, Director Technical Services, Yokogawa Australia and New Zealand
