Our Testimonials

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!

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 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,

Candidate: Head of Major Donor Fundraising – RDA

It was a pleasure meeting with Mike and talking through this new opportunity throughout the recruitment process.  His communication style is clear and direct and I greatly appreciated his timely feedback and encouragement along the way.  I would absolutely recommend Mike to any HR teams looking for support with their recruitment.

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.

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.
