Our Testimonials

Mike gave me so much help and support whilst looking for a job after my apprenticeship. We had multiple video calls together where he took me over how to write a good CV, how to prepare for interviews, through to the aceing the interviews and asking all the right questions. The support didn’t stop there, Mike suggested new ways to find roles and how to build a network. He also took the time to learn about any companies I was applying for to ensure he could provide tailored advice – he really went above and beyond. My confidence whilst working with Mike increased massively and, with his help, I managed to secure a job that I love in a great company!

I contacted Mike during my A-Levels for help applying to internships for my gap year. From the very first session, Mike’s guidance was invaluable. He helped me restructure my CV to highlight my strengths and tailor it to the roles I was targeting. His advice on interview techniques was particularly useful—I went into my interviews with a clear strategy, prepared answers for common questions, and the confidence to tackle unexpected ones.

Mike also took the time to understand my interests and career goals, helping me identify the right internships for my skill set. His workshops were not only informative but also highly interactive, making it easy to apply what I had learnt. Thanks to his support, I secured an internship that perfectly aligned with my goals, giving me an excellent head start in my career.

Mike’s help was invaluable in helping me secure a graduate job. He gave me so much confidence in my ability even when I was feeling quite demoralised by the lengthy application processes! I particularly benefited from Mike’s advice to formulate my interview answers in a structured, story-like way to engage the interviewer. He went above and beyond my expectations, providing me tailored, personalised advice throughout the process, and overall being a thoughtful, knowledgable and inspirational mentor. I can’t thank Mike enough for his help and for helping me believe in myself as much as he did!

Wow, thank you so much for all of that research and for following up with your contacts, it’s extremely kind of you! It’s been a bit of a busy week again, the practice I applied to on Monday morning, invited me for an interview which I had this morning (the last couple of days was me frantically getting the rest of my work into a portfolio for that) and they’ve offered me the job!! Starting next Wednesday! A bit of a whirlwind week!!! Thank you so much for all of your help! Best wishes,

Lisa Davies – Head of Communication & Insight, RDA

We were under under-resourced, and under pressure to fill several roles in a tough fundraising market. Working with Mike, and Best Talent Solutions, made the whole recruitment process as smooth and effective as possible. Mike supported us throughout, kept the pace up, provided great advice and found us three excellent candidates. On top of that, he’s a genuinely nice person to work with – thank you Mike!

Candidate: Sales & Marketing Director – Burbidge

Overall I felt the service was very, very good, with Mike going the extra mile to keep me informed of progress, however small, throughout the process and during my lengthy notice period from my previous employer.
