We received this testimonial from a candidate which prompted us to write this. I guess it’s the story of the
frustrated candidate looking for the next step in his career, which of course
has a happy ending!
Having applied
for a variety of roles via job boards Michael finds himself swept along on a
tide of unsuitable jobs and job interviews driven by agencies simply looking to
fill a job at any cost.
As a result, by
the time we were approached by Michael he was unsurprisingly demoralised,
frustrated and perhaps didn’t really understand our insistence that we needed
to meet with him before we could progress his application.
Michael came to meet
with us and in doing so allowed us to fully assess what he was looking for and
find the best way to match his needs with that of the Practice market and of a
future employer.
By taking the
time to look at his skills and discovering more about him, his personality his
aspirations meant we were quickly able to identify the ideal firm. We secured
him an interview and he was given everything he needed to prepare; including a
full brief of the role, the firm, its team, their portfolio, systems and so on. This gave him the confidence to relax,
prepare his answers and focus on making sure he delivered the best interview
possible.
The happy
ending??? Of course Michael was offered
the job! After a month in post Michael
sent us this:
“I
was very apprehensive when considering a change in my career. I had lost a lot
of confidence in agents after numerous dead end interviews and poor
advice. One meeting with Colin restored
any faith I had lost. I had one interview which was successful and I couldn’t
have thought of working for a better company than I am working for now.
Thank
you for all your hard work. It’s nice to
know there are agents that actually care for the candidates that earn them a
living.”
In two paragraphs
Michael has summed up our ethos and why we're good at what we do!
