“Shireen has partnered with us over the last six years to ensure that our recruitment needs are met not only by sourcing suitable candidates to meet our needs at a point in time; but sourcing quality candidates that have long term potential in our business. I would recommend Shireen as she provides a great outcome for the employer but also has excellent candidate care.” Client
“It was a real pleasure to work with Shireen during the recruitment process for my current position. I found her to be very engaging, informative, professional and responsive. Unlike the recruitment processes I have been involved in for previous and similar roles within other companies, I found Shireen’s to be very personal, thorough and the most complex; which I believe only helps to strengthen the chances of a positive/suitable match between candidates and available roles. I hope to work with Shireen again in the future.” Candidate
“Most thorough and professional.” Client

It made a great first impression for the company I was about to join.” Candidate
“Shireen has shown exceptional skills in her ability to use search to generate strong shortlists for clients. As well as this, her ability to intelligently consult with clients through a process stood out. She shows determination, persistence and desire to come up with the result for the client.” Former employer

“As a HR professional, I understand the importance of the initial recruitment of an employee for setting the tone and sending the potential employee a positive and professional message about the company.

“If I can offer some feedback to you, it is to say your candidate care is well above average and greatly appreciated. I do hope your clients realise your operating style and professionalism is very unique to other recruiters. 9 out of 10 times no feedback is provided let alone advice of the outcome.
Keep doing what you are doing, it restores a little faith in the industry.” Candidate
“I would very much like to offer the following, given the exceptional way in which I was guided through the process of selection for my new role. Shireen’s ‘candidate care’ was second to none. Having dealt with many ‘so-called’ recruitment ‘professionals’ over my 25 year career, Shireen stands well above any and all other recruitment professionals. She is a “genuine” and consummate professional and kept me not only informed of every step but gave sound and valuable advice for what has become the most important role of my career! Thank you SO very much Shireen, you’re indeed, an exceptional recruitment professional and I genuinely hope that I and we, can utilise your skills again.” Candidate
“You have exceeded my expectations with this role at [client], the service you provided me with was exceptional. I felt informed throughout each stage of the process and really appreciate your ongoing responsiveness to my personal situation. For this, my family also thank you.” Candidate
Career Coaching and Outplacement
“I would highly recommend Shireen to anyone looking to take their interview performance to the next level. As well as providing a strong sounding board to focus and refine my preparation, I found her strategies for acting with greater impact and engaging the audience to be a source of advantage. While it may have taken a leap of faith to seek out coaching in the first place, I am really glad that I did and would encourage others to step up as well. You won’t regret it.” Client
“It is so very difficult when searching for a senior role for yourself to get competent unbiased feedback on your resume, interview technique and approach. Unfortunately, and with good reason, most recruiters cannot provide honest and direct feedback on why you weren’t chosen for a role. This makes it difficult to identify areas for improvement and take action. After struggling with a number of failed attempts to secure my desired role, I decided to seek professional help and Shireen was recommended by a colleague.
Shireen was instrumental in building my confidence in my resume, reconfiguring my LinkedIn profile and helping me identify several issues in the language I was using to communicate in interviews. She provided me with tools to assist developing my brand and coached me through a mock interview. The experience was sometimes confronting, but Shireen courageously and competently guided me to an understanding of what I was poorly projecting and how best to develop a better way to truly show my authentic self with the utmost of integrity. I can’t thank her enough for this insight and ultimately, success, in securing the role I wanted.” Client
“Although coming from a background in recruitment Shireen is not only a very effective career coach, but also a very effective life coach. Shireen’s career resources library, her analytical thinking, and her empathy are all valued, and I believe will help prospective clients in their professional and personal lives.” Client
“Shireen is a knowledgeable, professional and inspirational business coach I had the pleasure of working with over four sessions. Having been out of the workforce for quite some time on a career break, Shireen’s advice and guidance on areas such as the hidden job market and the importance of building networks was invaluable. In particular, Shireen’s ability to listen and really understand the matter at hand helped me to regain my confidence and really analyse the direction I wanted to take my future career. I looked forward to each session and left feeling energised and focussed. This whole process has given me the tools and confidence to focus on a different career path, something I don’t believe I would have had the ability to do had I not engaged her services. I would highly recommend her services to anyone requiring business coaching.” Client
“I thought your ebooks were really good and I’ve been recommending them and yourself to clients who need some resume refinement.” Contact
“Shireen,
Just thought I’d give you some feedback on the advice you gave me in our first session.
After I tweaked my LinkedIn profile and posted a recent graduation photo I’ve had 173 people view the post and 43 profile views. I’m somewhat stunned. Sound advice – thank you.” Client
“Shireen gave me relevant and practical insights, supporting my transition from employment to developing my own business and self marketing. I appreciate her relaxed, understanding and professional approach.” Client
“A couple of years ago, Shireen supported me during a recruitment process from candidate to employee with impeccable work ethics, very professional approach and delivered an outstanding service until I was well settled in my job. For the coming years, I continued following her great insight advice on employability improvements and her wealth of knowledge about job market trends and modern job hunting techniques. Recently, I have encountered some difficulties in my career progression and have sought her professional advice. As I expected, Shireen was very attentive to my concerns and provided me with very practical guidance and recommendations that did help me to regain my confidence. Also, she has significantly assisted me to improve my personal branding and Linkedin profile. I very much appreciate her approachable style and dealing with her has been a pleasure.” Client

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the work and assistance you have provided it has been tremendously valuable and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to my contacts.” Client

I’ll happily recommend you to colleagues and friends, and may well be in touch down the track to upskill further” Client
“Shireen is extremely good value on career guidance and training. I was impressed enough to ask my teenage son to spend few hours with her. It was heartening to see how his attitudes changed for the positive.” Client
