Testimonials
“I have worked with Sarah on different projects within the Welfare to Work industry over many years and she has, on each project, exceeded our expectations. Sarah’s insight and expert knowledge of the sector gives her a winning head start against the plethora of consultancy and recruitment companies selling their wares. Her company has over performed in their delivery of employability contracts and as a specialist recruiter; she sourced exceptional talent to fill senior level positions. I would not hesitate in recommending Kirkwood Consulting.”

“I had been made redundant from my previous employer and had been visiting the Jobcentre Plus for 4 months when
I met Sarah; she immediately put me at ease. We discussed my career history, my family situation and what direction I might like to go in. Sarah also looked at my CV and made some really positive changes. After looking at all of the information as a whole, including my skills set, Sarah recommended a plan of action to follow. Sarah even suggested different industries and job roles that I had never considered before.
Sarah knew of a role as Office Manager for an organisation with a new Sevenoaks Office which she felt I would be ideal for due to my skills set. After looking at the job specification I wasn’t convinced as it was a completely different industry to any I had ever worked, however I was very interested in the role as it sounded like a new challenge.
I was selected for an interview and after meeting with the company I walked away wanting this job. After a second interview I was offered the position and I am so grateful to Sarah for seeing something that I didn’t, which ultimately resulted in a great job for me which suits my skills perfectly.”

“I would like to thank you and the team for the assistance in looking for the right job for me. I was looking for any work, but your team helped me to realise my own potential and instead of looking for a job, I am now embarking on a career in the careers service. I originally thought that my lack of skills and qualifications would be a hindrance in this field but I was advised to gain the experience through voluntary work. I am now a volunteer at one of the UK’s largest training and careers organisation and I am getting trained in this field of work, I am also assisting a local charity in helping them fill a position. This has turned out to be beneficial and life changing experience for me. So once again thank you for giving me the confidence to go back to work.”
