Our Testimonials

The most useful part of the workshop was the interview skills/preparation – it was really useful to have an insider perspective toward the interview process and also all the tips that came with it; such as the background when on Zoom/Teams make a difference (I wouldn’t of thought massively about that previously!!) The workshop was super helpful, covered a wide range of information that flowed nicely from the CV to toward post-interview/and rejection, and had many insightful tips and experiences that help to provide further help toward successfully applying and getting a job. Thanks,

Candidate: Marketing Communications Manager – RDA

I had a fantastic experience working with Mike at Best Talent Solutions during my job search for a marketing role. He was incredibly supportive, encouraging, and professional, taking the time to understand my skills and career goals. Unlike previous recruiters I’ve worked with, Mike provided personalised support throughout the process. The communication was prompt and clear, making me feel valued and well-informed every step of the way. Overall, I highly recommend Mike and Best Talent Solutions for anyone seeking a dedicated and effective recruitment service.

Candidate: Head of Operations & Commercial – Portsmouth Historic Dockyard

This has been my first experience of working with a recruitment consultant. I have been extremely impressed with Mike’s communication, flexibility and determination to fulfil a difficult brief

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.

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.
