Our Testimonials

Candidate: Junior Account Executive – The Media People

Mike always made sure that I was never left wondering where I stood. And was always there for me whenever I had questions, whether he could answer them right away, or take them to the hiring company. Mike really gave off the impression that he’d always go the extra mile. I think that Mike was very unbiased, and fair sat between his client and myself. But speaking from a candidate perspective, I could tell that he was going the extra mile to secure the perfect position for me. Fantastic service! I had quite a few experiences with recruitment consultants during my job search, and no one really gave off the impression that they wanted the best proposition possible for me quite like Mike did. I can’t really think of any improvements really! Mike was amazing at helping me secure such an amazing position.

Lisa Davies – Head of Communication & Insight, RDA

We were under under-resourced, and under pressure to fill several roles in a tough fundraising market. Working with Mike, and Best Talent Solutions, made the whole recruitment process as smooth and effective as possible. Mike supported us throughout, kept the pace up, provided great advice and found us three excellent candidates. On top of that, he’s a genuinely nice person to work with – thank you Mike!

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.

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!

Mike gave me so much help and support whilst looking for a job after my apprenticeship. We had multiple video calls together where he took me over how to write a good CV, how to prepare for interviews, through to the aceing the interviews and asking all the right questions. The support didn’t stop there, Mike suggested new ways to find roles and how to build a network. He also took the time to learn about any companies I was applying for to ensure he could provide tailored advice – he really went above and beyond. My confidence whilst working with Mike increased massively and, with his help, I managed to secure a job that I love in a great company!

I would say that it was a helpful and informative experience. It provided a different perspective from someone who has experience with how companies recruit that helps understanding. It provides a lot of information that seems obvious and makes a lot of sense, but that people may not necessarily think of themselves when applying. I found the entire workshop helpful. The information regarding CVs and interviews was particularly useful and offered a different perspective. Thanks,
