Wellbeing discovery

Our support doesn’t stop when you start your new role.

The first few months of a new job can take its toll on people’s mental health. All placed Potentia candidates receive access to our unique wellbeing discovery programme, with in-house wellbeing expert, Gayle Johnston

What is wellbeing discovery?

The concept of hauora (physical, mental, social and spiritual wellbeing) has been embedded within Potentia for years, something our team knows and loves. Through 1-1 sessions, our wellbeing discovery programme is all about helping you be your best self in the workplace – without sacrificing your mental health. Think of it as an extra support blanket as you adjust to your new job environment.

How does it work?

Completely self-managed by you, simply book in a 30-minute slot with Gayle as and when you need a little extra support with your wellbeing. Whether you’re just after a one-off session, or a few, all sessions are held over the phone and are 100% confidential.

“Working with Muy was an absolute pleasure. Her dedication, professionalism, and understanding of my career goals was instrumental in helping me secure my dream job. I am immensely grateful for her support throughout the entire process.”

Senior Project Coordinator

1/4

“I have been through many recruiters but Muy hands down has been the best one so far. From the start, she was very responsive and empathetic, which is something I find lacking in other recruiters. Her genuine care and understanding made me feel at ease and showed me that she really valued her candidates. All through the process she's kept me updated and in the loop so I never really had to chase up. Definitely recommend Muy if you want a personalised recruitment experience.”

Product Marketing Manager

“Muy is a wonderful recruiter who is helpful, friendly, empathetic and always available, I didn't just feel like another person for a role, she made me feel like THE person for the role - something that is rare in recruiters! I'd highly recommend her!”

Product Manager

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Muy from Potentia during my application process for a Product Manager role. From the very beginning, the professionalism, efficiency, and friendliness she displayed were remarkable. She was incredibly supportive throughout the process, consistently keeping me in the loop about my application status.”
