Inspiring the Next Generation

Since 2000, I have volunteered as an Enterprise advisor within Schools for various education to business partners, such as NYBEP (North Yorkshire and Enterprise Partnership) https://nybep.org.uk/ and Ahead Partnership https://www.aheadpartnership.org.uk/ to mentor students from years 7 to 13 with: Interview Technique | CV writing | Presentation skills | Boosting Confidence . Additionally supporting schools with their careers program.

These organisations work with both education and business in partnership. As a volunteer my role is to provide advice and support to students as they prepare for that “perfect interview” and their first step in their choice of College, University or career. It’s the ideal way to give back to the community, whilst having a window to the next generation of employees.

In addition, I coach business leaders on recruitment and the potential damage and additional cost that can be incurred if their interview technique is dated or they recruit the wrong individual.

I worked with Craig In finding my current, happy role with a great company. Craig is thorough, tireless and painstaking in ensuring he’s making a good match between candidate, role and recruiter. ‘One of the best, if not The Best, I’ve ever worked with. Highly recommended

I attended a Sales day training course with some trepidation as I wasn’t overly successful on the phone and nervous. I gave the course 5 / 5 run by Craig. He put the confidence back in me to overcome objection. By doing so helped me understand that people are people, some are rude; get rid of those and some are helpful and want to work with me; keep those.  Not every call will produce a result but celebrate each result however small. My only concern is that this was a one-day course and I could have drained Craig of his knowledge and expertise over a week. Very well presented, fun with an easy stage by stage understanding of gaining trust and how to develop that to advocacy.

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

I have worked with Craig over a number of years and trust him to source candidates suitable for my requirements. He has always been thorough and professional, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

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
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 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.
