Testimonials

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.

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!

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

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

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

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.

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.
