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.

Liz Hawkins – Director, Hawkinsport

This was a new role within the business and Mike did extensive initial questioning with regards to the role including understanding personalities involved – more than we had experienced with any other recruitment company.  We felt very prepared as an interviewer, for each candidate, and also felt that the candidates too were well briefed.   Overall a very good experience and would not hesitate to use again, just that the other candidate who approached via other method was extremely well-skilled – we would certainly hope to work with you again on any future roles within Hawkinsport. Felt service levels exceeded our expectations.

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.

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.

I had a number of video calls with Mike where we thoroughly covered answers for a variety of questions that could be asked at the interview stage as well as what to do if I was asked a question that I wasn’t expecting so that I could remain calm and answer it competently. My self-confidence going into the interview had been greatly increased thanks to Mike, acknowledging that I knew how to answer all types of questions that could potentially arise. Thanks to Mike I passed the interview stage and was overjoyed to receive a call offering me a place at my dream flight school.

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.
