Our Testimonials

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

Candidate: Head of HR – Blippar

I could not speak any higher of my interactions with you. From the beginning, you built trust by always doing what you said you would do. If you said you would ask a question, or get back to me, you always did. And in a timely way too.

When I spoke to you, I felt heard.

I do believe that you understood the brief that you were working to well, and you were able to convey it very openly and accurately with me – as became more and more evident through the process.

Having interacted with many recruitment agencies, I will say without a doubt that you have been the most professional recruiter that I have had the pleasure of working with as a candidate.

I would not hesitate in recommending you to other candidates, neither  would I hesitate to you consider engaging you from a company perspective.

Mike helped me finesse my CV so that it really highlighted my career achievements and would stand out from the crowd. Having been in a job for 5 years since school, I was pretty nervous about an interview. We went through the job description, Mike asked potential questions and we discussed the answers and examples I could give. It was hugely beneficial, I walked into the interview prepared and as confident as I could be. 1 interview, 1 job offer… Thank you so much!

I thought the cv information was really interesting as I had not been aware of many of the things you could do with a cv e.g. storytelling. I also thought the tip on following up an application with the company will be really useful because I have never done this before. A really informative workshop, which taught me lots of helpful tips and tricks to improve my performance during the job hunting process. Thanks,

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.

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.
