Our Testimonials

Candidate: Director of CMI – Cargotec

Mike’s approach was more intelligent, open-minded and inquisitive than other search professionals. I felt much less of a commodity, and much more of a partner in a collaborative and trusted relationship. All of this he reinforced with transparent, discrete and timely communication. An excellent service.

Lincoln Clarke – CEO, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard

Without exception each new member of the team has made an excellent contribution to our organisation thus far, and that can be put down, in no small part, to Mike’s efforts. I’d have no hesitation in recommending him.

Candidate: Head of Major Donor Fundraising – RDA

It was a pleasure meeting with Mike and talking through this new opportunity throughout the recruitment process.  His communication style is clear and direct and I greatly appreciated his timely feedback and encouragement along the way.  I would absolutely recommend Mike to any HR teams looking for support with their recruitment.

Nick Ryder – Managing Director, Le Creuset

Great to work with you and will happily do so again for future assignments.

The most useful aspect of the workshop came through the support given regarding assessments and interview tips. The information regarding questions that I could potentially ask employers at the end or during the interview was extremely helpful and definitely something I would look to incorporate if given an interview somewhere. Furthermore, I also found studies and research that you included very interesting, e.g. the use of standing up while on a telephone interview to increase energy levels. Very insightful, with key information and tips which will no doubt improve my employability chances. Thanks,

I’ve known Mike for many years in a professional capacity so jumped at the chance to engage him when my son graduated and started to look for his first step on the career ladder.

Mike very quickly gained the confidence of my son by empathising with his goals and aspirations whilst also dishing out the cold realities of the employment market. He never sugar coated anything and always left my son motivated and enthusiastic to follow his guidance and recommendations. However, Mike was at his most effective when the inevitable knock-backs and rejections occurred. He re-installs confidence and determination and is equally effective when helping to prepare for interviews and assessment centres.

Mike also has a sharp understanding of how young executives get hired and what employers look for in CV’s and covering letters whilst having a manner which connects well with young people.

Overall, Best Talent is a go coaching business which is truly effective and very reasonably priced.

Thank you Mike.
