Our Testimonials

I think the discussion around interviews was particularly good, in terms of practical tips that might seem obvious having interviewed a lot of people but definitely aren’t obvious coming straight out of school or university! I thought the ability to draw on real examples from both your and Helen’s experience made it feel a lot more tangible and relatable. A good overview of the process of applying to jobs and helped reduce some of the uncertainty that can be involved. Thanks

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

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.

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: 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.

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,
