“Colin has been fantastic to work with in every sense. His approachable nature, his enthusiasm and his candour are just the qualities you want in an HR leader. Through every stage, Colin supports and nurtures the team as they grow in the business. He understands the modern workplace and making sure that everyone feels heard. Equally, he is adept in setting up processes that provide clarity to underpin and reinforce a streamlined work environment. I fully endorse and recommend Colin for any role - he is a real asset to any organisation.”

You're guiding candidates through stressful career changes. How do you build their trust?
The best advice I received many years ago was to paint "warts and all" about a role, the team and the business. There is nothing wrong with not perfect! Every business should be looking to improve and showing that feedback, improvement opportunities and growth is available generally. Then the candidates they will 'believe' in what you say and see the potential positives that will impact them also. Don't sell dreams to people; show them growth opportunity and they will all want the job, knowing its a genuine opportunity.
