Our Testimonials

Candidate: Operations Director – VTG

The process from my perspective was excellent and it is one of the best candidate experiences that I have had. You always called when you said you would, and I you really understood the brief of the role, and the culture of the business, which helped me greatly in my preparation. I think the communications were spot on and you kept me in the loop at all times, with regards to the process. Your knowledge of the business and advice/guidance were invaluable. I can honestly say that you are head and shoulders above your competitors, as you add that personal touch, which seems to be lacking these days elsewhere. Far too many recruiters treat the candidates like a commodity, but don’t fully understand that they do so much damage to their credibility. I don’t believe that you need to make any changes, as it’s your attention to detail and personal style that shine through. If I am in a position to recruit in the future, you will certainly be at the top of my list and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services to anyone who wants the job done right.

I worked with Mike to finally take a jump in the deep end in the overcrowded pool of Marketing – landing in my dream role. As an anxious graduate in the middle of a pandemic, he truly made my dreams turn into a reality. Surpassing my expectation, he provided me with such a personal recruitment experience. Giving me clear and concise tips and tricks to put my application process at the top of the pile. Not only that, but he provided me with the knowledge to win over my interviewers – something I had many of but couldn’t quite grasp how to stay at the forefront of the company’s minds. As well as this, he provided me with support every step of the way. He was professional and knowledgeable and I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking to make the next big step in their career or who are looking to develop their CV, portfolio or interview techniques.

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,

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.

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.

Lincoln Clarke – COO – The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust

Hi Mike, I just wanted to say really well done for getting Colin on board. He really satisfied our concerns today and we are confident he will be a real asset. Thanks for all your hard work, not just with the Head of HR but with the many other roles that you have helped us with over the last couple of years.
