Rockstar Talent Speech Marks
Rockstar Talent Speech Marks

Having worked with Pam… I know that she is passionate about building good working relationships and providing the best possible service to her clients. Her industry experience means that she has built a good network and she is able to find the right candidates for both the job and the company ‘fit’

Steph: HR Manager

I was introduced to Diane when I was made redundant, through a work colleague. He told me that she would point me in the right direction, that I would be looked after and that ‘she cared’. I can testify that his recommendation was spot on. She helped me with my CV and offered to coach me prior to any future interviews as a result of which I’ve now found a great position. I can’t thank her enough

Richard: Managing Partner

Ken has been of great support to me providing excellent guidance and opportunities for furtherment, his dedication to the task is exemplary

Stephen: Director

Derek took a great deal of time finding out about me. What made me tick and what I wanted to achieve in life. Derek did not try and shoehorn me into any role he could but took a great deal of time throughout the whole process. This included telling me a great deal about his clients and what they were looking for too. This is not always the case and was extremely refreshing

Justin: Financial Adviser

Pam is an absolute breath of fresh air and has been nothing but understanding, supportive and is a true professional in her craft

Waqas: Financial Planner

When I was considering a career move I was approached by Diane, who had recently placed a friend of mine with a new company. She spent time with me talking through my CV and asking me about my plans for the future and what it was I really wanted to do. I knew I wanted to progress but wasn’t sure of the next step. With her help and support I eventually found the right company.  It’s been the best career move I could have made and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for that next step on their career

Neil: Wealth Manager

James’ background in financial services is invaluable when finding you a financial services role. Someone that has done it all before is the kind of person I want helping me

Peter: Analyst

I found Derek to be the strongest of advocates in backing my choice of career change, but with complete honesty about what this entailed. A very strong communicator with a client led attitude always came through. It was clear that Derek had my best interests in mind at all times and had the connections to make things happen. If I needed a new challenge, I would always involve Derek in my decision making

Simon: Financial Planner

Having worked closely with Pam on a large-scale recruitment drive.., I can wholeheartedly recommend both her and the team at Truestar. Not only has Pam made a huge contribution to the success of our expansion plans, she has also been a joy to work with

Nick: HR Manager
