Effie and the team at TSERGAS Human Capital are exceptional at what they do. They have shown their commitment to our organization time and time again by going above and beyond and exceeding expectations. They have been our most valued business partner throughout a time where speed and agility was paramount. Their willingness to confront the brutal facts, have tough conversations and their tenacity to stay the course despite conflicting priorities is what truly sets them apart from any other consultants I have ever worked with. Effie and her team not only provide sound strategies, but also keep us on course through frequent and effective communication.

Fuelled Networks Limited

“I have the privilege of working with Effie Tsergas and her HR consulting team. After many frustrating experiences with staffing/recruiting agencies with no real value, we moved to a Fractional HR Support Team (Effie Tsergas). We won’t look back. Effie and her team consistently provide value throughout the process. They care. From the initial review and the first interview, they guide you throughout the process. They work with our existing team to determine culture and fit. This is not a race to the finish but a well-thought-out strategy that aligns with our organization. HR is the most critical focus a company should invest in. TSERGAS Human Capital is professional, accessible, and relevant. Effie and her team make us a better company. TSERGAS Human Capital will continue to support our hiring and HR efforts.”

“ In one of my previous roles as a Financial Controller, I had the pleasure of working with Effie Tsergas. I have never met a more effective HR Professional than Effie. Effie helped the organization not only with HR Strategic planning and day to day workforce management, but also with the Company’s overall business strategy which made the organization a stronger, happier and more resilient workplace. By finding the right talent, coaching, mentoring and strategically positioning great professionals in the right place, Effie was the main contributor to the Company’s growth. She has also been a great mentor to me as well as to many others. She is admired by many as she is a strong advocate for always doing what is right. She practices what she mentors – positive organizational behavior and HR Best Practices. Her powerful energy inspires different generations and her meaningful speeches are impactful because she provides tips and advice for everybody: employers and employees alike. She is an example, not only for me, but for many women. Her transparent and authentic leadership style; and her coaching techniques have helped change people’s lives in an incredibly positive way. I am immensely proud to be considered part of Effie’s professional network and I would never go to, or consult with, any other HR Professional. ”

“ Effie has been with GreenSaver at a challenging time of complex business and organizational growth, and assisted us with all aspects of HR management. She is extremely well organized, communicative, passionate about the organization and the people she works with, and will follow through to get things done. She works well across the whole organization, whether it involves interactions with C-Level executives, management or staff. She has been very effective in analyzing our situation, recommending changes and then assisting us in practically implementing them. Her biggest achievement has been in finding and recruiting a large number of excellent people to join our organization, and contribute to its success. I warmly recommend Effie, especially for smaller to mid-size organizations, who can most effectively benefit from her skills and experience. ”

Whether she is embarking upon a new project, or following up just to find out how you are, Effie is one of those rare treasures in business: personality plus, and the brains to pull it off. Having had the pleasure of working with Effie over the past year, I find her not only to be a dedicated, talented professional, but a warm and genuine person. As a recruiter, she learns the culture of your business, and exactly what you need. Understanding the whole picture, she is dutiful about ensuring you have the top candidate on your slate, leaving no stone unturned to do so.

Levitt LLP

“ As my Director of Administration/Human Resource Manager/Crisis Manager from September 2, 2014 to December, 2015, Effie arrived at our firm at a time of significant organizational difficulty and conflict. Effie was constantly on call, available to be reached by me (our lawyers and staff), at virtually any hour of the day and night. Her tireless efforts and her ability to manage people and projects, helped us to quickly reach our organizational goals. Effie’s greatest accomplishment was our office move. Effie sourced space and purchased equipment and furniture for an entirely new office, while doing all of the recruitment for various back-office administrative staff and managers. Effie is extraordinarily well-contacted in the legal and business communities. With a plethora of contacts and relationships, she was able to resource and recruit high-quality administrative candidates with facility and ease. Our firm continues to rely upon Effie for her guidance, counsel and administrative support. ”

“ I love working with Cierra! When I first started my business two years ago, I brought Cierra on to assess our current business strategy and identify improvement opportunities that would help us achieve our business goals. In developing our improvement plan, she considered all possible variables impacting the business and was able to present us with a blueprint for sustainable growth. Right away, she implemented more efficient and effective workflow processes that played an essential part in our success and allowed us to focus on the aspects of the business that we are good at. Two years later, Cierra, again, has played a tremendous role in helping our business thrive. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cierra developed our Return to Play Policy which allowed us to continue doing business as normal during a time when many in our industry were forced to close their doors permanently. Our business would not be where it is today if it weren’t for Cierra. She played a vital role in us being able to meet our business objectives and we will continue to work with her for as long as she is willing to work with us! She is fantastic to work with, and I would highly recommend Cierra to anyone starting a new venture, or who is looking for trusted support in whatever they do. ”
