Testimonials
We hired Colin as we were looking from someone a bit different to the normal recruitment consultant. We were creating a new team and needed the best possible people in it. Colin went to the market and shook it right up for us, profiling companies where we might want to look for people as well as creating lists of potential candidates, pre-interviewing them for us and then recommending who he thought were the people most suited for us. Come interview day Colin provided 4 candidates all of whom were suitable for the job and we would have employed. We chose one and are blown away with him.

A role I had not done before but they felt that given my past that my skills were perfect for. They were right. The role is absolutely what I had been craving for. We spent a lot of time talking, about my experience and about the role. Their attention to detail was awesome. They took me along the path towards the role, preparing me, helping me present my strengths and weakness appropriately. I was fully prepared for the interview and of course landed the role. Colin is very professional, straight to the point, and willing to invest time in people he believes in. He has become a good friend, someone I can ask advice from & trust. Now I look forward to working with him on the other side.

I selected Resilient Management Solutions when we were expanding our sales leadership in the UK. Colin provided a very professional, detailed and efficient recruiting service to us. RMS created a full market map, a longlist and shortlist and they assisted in the paring process to identify the top six candidates. Although we only had one opening we ended up hiring two people as we where that impressed by the relevance and accuracy of the individuals that we met. Colin and his team setup all meeting arrangements for our SMT to fly in and asses the shortlist over two busy days. In addition Colin offered consultation on setting up a subsidiary in the UK and was a tremendous resource while creating our first UK and Asia contracts. I look forward to working with Colin again!
Deborah McHorney - Head of HR, Magnemotion
As a contractor I was surprised by the refreshing attitude and working ethos displayed by Colin. This is the first time in 15 years of contracting I felt I could really trust the recruitment agency/recruiter. His up front no nonesense approach made me feel that more of a partner than an asset. I was kept appraised of what was going on at all times. (Without Prompting). It's a pity more recruiters do not behave in this way.

It was due to Colin that I was placed with Imtech ICT, his skills and perseverance were exceptional and I found it very easy to deal with him and Resilient Management Solutions.
