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 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.

Fantastic service! I applied for a job using Whitewing Recruitment Agency with Craig who was absolutely amazing went above and beyond to help me find work. Lovely, friendly, genuine guy who was just a phone call away for advice and full of good interview tips and knowledge. I got the job easy with his help! Would recommend to anyone.

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.

This course showed me how to extend my calls and gain more information and showed me there is much more to telesales than just picking up the phone!

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.

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!

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!
