Local company, Monica Clare Recruitment has announced an official rebrand and name change. Now, Verve Partners, the change represents how the business has evolved and who they are today.

CEO and Founder, Clare Ferguson says the business begun as just two people, but has evolved over the years to be much more.

“We’ve grown so much over the years, and as a team of 20 plus, we wanted a new name and brand that reflected our diverse and collective strength and energy,” Clare said.

The name Verve was chosen, as it encompasses vigour, enthusiasm, vivacity and vitality. Clare explains that these are words that sum up who the team are, their values and their approach to recruiting – growing vibrant careers, cultures and cultures and communities.

But while their name, look and feel have changed, Verve Partners’ three Directors, Clare Ferguson, Simon Rutten and Krystle Parker, explain that their clients and candidates will still experience the same quality, people-focused service that they are known for.

“We haven’t changed what we do,” Executive Director, Simon Rutten said.

“This evolution is something that’s been slowly happening over the past few years. The main difference is in our physical offering and how we’re representing what we now deliver.

“Over the past 12 months, we’ve grown and expanded outside of the Newcastle and Hunter region, including opening a new office in Wollongong.

“This has given us the opportunity to strengthen our relationships with clients, wherever they’re located.”

As the team has grown, Verve Partners have added to their industry specialisms. They also explain that they’re laser-focused on building longer-term relationships and offering clients holistic consulting and advisory services via a new HR Consulting arm and Partnership Package.

 “I’ve never worked with a more experienced, high-calibre team in the 22 years I’ve been in recruitment,” said Clare.

“I’m so proud of what we achieve every day and the passion and energy they bring.”

“We’re so excited for this rebrand and where the business is headed,” says Executive Director Krystle Parker.

“We’re reimagining recruitment and believe we bring something different to the market. Our goal as Verve Partners is to continue to grow and see the business flourish.”
