Who we are
We’re your local hr partner.
Our name, eight73 consulting, has a story behind it.
The name was taken from the telephone prefix code (873) of the Otorohanga area, making it loud and clear that our focus is supporting local. We partner with organisations to bring quality external support as a managed hr service.
