“Thanks again for everything you’ve done in terms of creating the session, linking our values to competencies and getting them all engaged and bought-in on the day – Interview Skills Clinic and Georgina were absolutely fantastic!” Kepler Partners
“From my side, I was really happy with the session as a whole. It highlighted to me the areas I need to work on but with lots of practice and by utilising all of the reading material you gave us, I think I’ll be up and running soon! There was a lot to learn in a short space of time but I found the session massively helpful. My only bit of feedback is that I could have spent the whole day there!” Troika Recruitment
