Candidates

Looking for work is not an exact science, but it is made much easier when you can have someone with the expertise to hand.

As an award-winning recruiter, I have interviewed in excess of 35,000 people throughout a 26+ year career. The perfect employment fit requires more than just matching a CV to a job specification, it entails a personal and guided journey to allow you to be eased into your new employment.

I will always want to meet with you in person and offer a full consultation. Enlightening me on your personal journey allows me to further understand your wants, needs, desires, and then explore your selected markets for a new job. I will build your confidence and show you a true picture of the current employment marketplace.

I know what my client’s value most, having met them all too. It is these two critical meetings that will assist me in putting you onto the next steps to continue to build your successful career.

It would be an honour to assist you on your next journey, and to be able to work with you to discover your new and exciting career.

As a senior statesman in Accountancy and Finance I was seeking a role that not only complimented my experience but where I could continue to make a difference in a progressive company. Craig meets all of his candidates and is very thorough in his interviewing, getting to know you personally and your needs. He puts you at ease and more importantly he stays in touch throughout the process. I was successful in my application and had the steady support of a professional recruiter to help and guide me along the way. I look forward to using his services as a client, with a full understanding of what the candidate selection process is, robust and thorough; no stone is left unturned.

I had used Craig for recruitment in my previous company and trusted his expertise, and within a day I had three excellent candidates to telephone interview, two of whom I took to full interview and one offered.
Nikki P - Nursery Services
Our business was a brand new shiny Nursery for 6 month to 5 year old’s. My business partner and I had done all the hard work of setting up our company; finding and decorating the premises, equipping it, Ofsted had given it the thumbs up and we had recruited an excellent Nursery manager, we were ready to go. 7 days before we opened the doors the Nursery Manager gave back word and decided not to join us. Our “opening plans” were in shreds. With limited options and a necessity of speed I contacted Craig. I had used Craig for recruitment in my previous company and trusted his expertise, but for a Nursery Manager, I wasn’t sure he could deliver? But he has always “stated recruitment is recruitment and a good recruiter should be able to source any candidate!” He didn’t disappoint, within a day I had three excellent candidates to telephone interview, two of whom I took to full interview and one offered. To be honest my new Nursery Manager is better than the original offered candidates and has bought more experience to the role. I am delighted as I can leave her to manage the nursery and team whilst we build and market the business. Thank you, Craig NP & NP Directors

Craig was pivotal in rebuilding my confidence and supported me thoroughly throughout the whole process and thereafter.  He has a wealth of experience and his jovial character but professional manner really brings out the best in you.

Craig is hugely dynamic, engaging and clearly LOVES the work that he does. He has run a number of workshops for Ahead Partnership in local secondary schools, based around interview preparation & practice for between 100 & 200+ teenagers – certainly no easy task!!! Craig sought the right balance of professionalism, confidence & humour and is safe to say was a HIT!
Melissa Garret, Project Manager at Ahead Partnership
I was introduced to Craig through a mutual contact and ever since the first conversation, I knew that he was unlike any other recruiter I had worked with. As a seasoned HR professional, that is a lot! Not only is Craig extremely professional, but he is also honest, down to earth, and most importantly, human. Our interactions were a joy and his belief in my ability was unwavering. This makes all the difference when you are looking for THE new role. Rather than treating you like just another candidate (like many recruiters), Craig really gets to know you. He coaches you to bring out your best self and lifts your character off the paper CV, bringing it to life for the candidate and the prospective business. He puts people first, working hard to make sure that the candidate and the business fit well for the long term, which again is refreshing. If there are concerns, they will be discussed because there is an intrinsic understanding that careers and businesses count on him to get it right, a responsibility he holds in the highest regard. Craig takes time to get to know people and Companies, talking them both through what to expect and getting the match right. From both a candidate and client side this level of service is invaluable. I have nothing but praise for Craig and Whitewing Recruitment. I think the biggest testament is that I would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody or any business, in fact I hope to work with him as a business client in the future.

Craig, it was a pleasure and probably the best experience of speaking to a recruitment advisor I have had. It was nice to actually discuss my works history in full with someone rather than just throw job specs at me so- thank you!

I was new to recruitment but not telesales, however the speed I worked at with over 200 calls a day without taking time to stop and think isn’t really recruitment. This course showed me how to extend my calls and gain more information. Not to be dismissive of clients who didn’t use recruitment agencies but explore the reasons why and make them a target for later use or to canvass to. The course was thoughtfully put together and challenged my preconceived ideas that telesales training is a waste of time, you’ve either got it or you haven’t. This course showed me there is much more to telesales than just picking up the phone 5/ 5
