How Dedication Helped Grace Build a Remarkable Career

Written by Molly Thwaites

At Remarkable People, we believe that attitude, dedication, and a willingness to learn can take you further than experience alone.

There is no better example of this than Queenstown Acting Branch Manager, Grace Hayes, whose career journey is a testament to what can be achieved when talent meets opportunity.

When Grace first joined Remarkable People, she had no previous recruitment experience. Like many people stepping into a new industry, she was entering unfamiliar territory. What she did bring, however, was a strong work ethic, a genuine passion for helping people, and a determination to succeed.

Growing Through Opportunity

From day one, Grace embraced every challenge and opportunity that came her way. Through hard work, continuous learning, and an unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional service, she quickly established herself as a valued member of the team.

Her dedication did not go unnoticed. Grace progressed from Recruitment Consultant to Senior Consultant, consistently demonstrating leadership qualities, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to both her colleagues and clients. Today, she proudly serves as our Acting Branch Manager in Queenstown, leading by example and continuing to make a positive impact across the region.

What makes Grace’s journey particularly inspiring is the way she approaches her work. Her commitment to supporting candidates through their employment journey, helping clients find the right people for their businesses, and being there for her teammates is second to none. She understands that recruitment is about more than filling roles, it’s about building relationships, creating opportunities, and making a difference in people’s lives.

Making an Impact Every Day

Grace’s success story also highlights an important message for anyone considering a career in recruitment: you do not need previous recruitment experience to thrive in this industry. With the right mindset, a willingness to learn, and the support of a great team, incredible growth is possible.

At Remarkable People, we are proud to invest in our people and create pathways for career development. Grace’s journey demonstrates exactly what can happen when potential is recognised, nurtured, and supported.

As Grace continues to lead the Queenstown branch, we look forward to seeing her achieve even more in the years ahead. Her story is not only one of professional growth but also a reflection of the values that make Remarkable People who we are—people first, always.

Congratulations, Grace, on everything you have achieved so far. Your journey is truly remarkable, and we are excited to be part of what comes next.
