Candidate testimonials

  • "Thanks so much again for everything and keep flying the flag for genuine, ethical and open recruitment."

  • “Having spent years running training on recruitment we always said how you give a negative response reflects so well on you as an employer and recruiter. You negated one of the biggest detractions from applying for a job which is waiting for a response, you've given me clear feedback as to why and you have tried to find me an alternative solution having read my skills and CV. Whilst it's disappointing that I'm not the right candidate you really have given me a positive experience! Thank you ever so much.”

  • “You put people at ease and provide top class support throughout the interview process and positive feedback and aftercare. Best experience I ever had.”

  • "Being in my current role for 8 years means I haven't had much opportunity in the past to practice talking about myself and you have successfully managed to get me to remove all the nerves that were there. Thank you for making the process so pleasant. I have very much enjoyed talking to you."

  • “I really appreciate the valuable advice and feel you deserve recognition for your outstanding work and contribution helping candidates seeking their next role. The world needs more like you Elizabeth!”

  • “Thank you both for your support and for believing in me to make the transition. The same time I was talking to you I was also talking to another organisation. They rejected me for a Philanthropy Officer role for having no fundraising experience and told me to take 6 months off work to get volunteer fundraising experience. In my first week I was at conference as an Associate Director and I bumped into the person that interviewed me from the other institution and she apologised to me for how their recruitment process was an absolute shambles. The total opposite from the experience I had with both of you”

  • “I accepted the offer this morning, very excited. Thanks so much for all your help, I would never have applied if it was not for you.”
