"Decipher Group took the time to really understand our business and delivered a great outcome. We’d have no hesitation using them again."

Pack Tech Mouldings is a Rolleston-based plastics moulding business with manufacturing, warehousing, and sales operations in our modern, purpose-built facility in the Rolleston Business Park.

Earlier this year, following the resignation of our GM Operations, we engaged Decipher Group and Lisa Edwards to manage the recruitment process. From the outset, Lisa demonstrated a genuine interest in understanding our business and the skills required for the role, spending time on-site with our team to get a full picture of our operations.

Through a structured and transparent process — including assessments, reference checks, and second interviews — we successfully appointed a candidate whose skills and experience fit our business well...

...

Decipher provided valuable market insights, including salary expectations and industry trends, before taking the role to market. Within a week, we reviewed early candidate responses and refined our approach. The calibre of candidates was strong and Decipher presented comprehensive reports that made shortlisting straightforward.

Throughout the process, communication was clear and responsive. We always felt that our input was valued and that Lisa and the Decipher team were fully committed to achieving the right result.

We have no hesitation in recommending Decipher Group and Lisa Edwards for any recruitment needs and would happily work with them again."

"I’ve always felt that the Decipher team are an extension of our own business. If you need help, they’re there - proactive, reliable, and ready to step in."
"

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Leanne and the Decipher Group team recently as they led the executive search process for our Chief Executive appointment, alongside other assignments and broader leadership team support.

What stands out most about working with Decipher is the consistent level of service, no matter who you deal with. Response times are always prompt, communication is clear, and there’s genuine warmth and personality in every interaction – you can always expect a friendly voice and a bit of fun alongside trusted, sound advice...

...

I’ve always felt that the Decipher team are an extension of our own business. If you need help, they’re there – proactive, reliable, and ready to step in. The process is well-structured, with clear plans and timelines that are followed through. That gives you real confidence that the search is in hand, allowing you to focus on your day-to-day knowing that Decipher are taking care of things as if they were hiring for their own team.

Executive-level recruitment is a unique space that requires networks, connections, care, and finesse – all of which Decipher brings in abundance. They understand the nuances of leadership appointments and the importance of getting both the capability and cultural alignment right.

If I were to describe Decipher Group, I’d say they are true partners – respectful, flexible, dedicated, and honest. They’re not afraid of the tough conversations when needed, and I trust them implicitly to have our backs. That level of trust and partnership is rare, and it’s what makes them stand out."

"Below is a testimonial that represents the tremendous service I, and the companies I am involved with, received from Lisa and Decipher."
"

Have used Decipher numerous times now, with all the results providing the right person to fit the role.

When we have selected Decipher in the last couple of executive appointments, this has resulted in exceptional service, delivery, communication but most importantly a quality selection of applicants put before us.

I would not go to a competitive process to select the recruitment agency now, but select Decipher upfront as Lisa, combined with the Decipher team, has provided an excellent, cost effective service that provides results.

Having employed many people over my business career, and using Lisa and Decipher over recent times, this has added value in process, results and timeframes...

...

I would be more than happy to discuss any questions on Decipher and their service."

"If you're looking for a professional but very down-to-earth team, choose Decipher Group. They make the process personal, supportive and even enjoyable, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience."
"

My experience with Decipher Group came through the recruitment process for my CEO role at Hospice Southland. Right from the start, they were approachable and genuinely interested in understanding me, not just my skills and experience, but also my values and what mattered to me in a workplace. It felt like they really cared about finding the right fit that was best both for me and for the organisation.

If you’re looking for a professional but very down-to-earth team, choose Decipher Group. They make the process personal, supportive and even enjoyable, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience...

...

What I enjoyed most was how easy and supportive the whole process was. Communication was superb, I always knew what was happening and what to expect next, there were no surprises and I never felt rushed or left wondering. They made the whole experience feel calm and positive which is something you don’t always get on the big jobs!

Leanne and the team are fantastic to work with, they take the time to get to know you properly, they’re honest and encouraging and they confidently guide you through every step. I really appreciated the expertise they brought; they knew the sector well, understood the role in depth and gave great advice that helped me prepare appropriately."
