What does everyone say?

We recently had the pleasure of working with Leanne, from day one she demonstrated a deep understanding of our needs and the challenges we faced in attracting top talent. Leanne's guidance in enhancing our job advertisements was particularly impactful. She provided insightful recommendations on how to make our postings more appealing and effective, ensuring that they attracted the right candidates. Her attention to detail and understanding of market trends and tools were evident, and we quickly saw an increase in the quality and quantity of applicants.

Leanne introduced a streamlined process for evaluating candidates that made our recruitment efforts much more efficient. Her approach not only saved us time but also improved the overall quality of our hiring decisions. The new evaluation process was clear, structured, and allowed us to better identify the best fit for our team. Throughout our collaboration, Leanne was professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in our success. Her input and practical solutions were invaluable, and we have seen measurable improvements in our recruitment outcomes as a result.

In January 2024, I welcomed Leanne to our Nottingham office to enhance our skills in all things recruitment! One of our goals in 2024 was to expand our knowledge and work with experts in the game to help with our hiring goals, and Leanne certainly hit the mark. Her training had lots of great visuals, easy to follow guides, and interactive examples for us to try out over the two days. Leanne catered these sessions to our needs and couldn't have been more helpful! If any of my connections are looking any recruitment related help, I couldn't recommend her more!

I worked with Leanne on creating more appealing job specs as the ones I were using weren't attracting the right types of candidates. We spent time making sure the adverts spoke the language of candidates I wanted to attract. On Monday 13th March I deployed 3 pf the new adverts, which went live around 1600. As of Friday 17th March they have 560 applicants..

1 looked forward to the sessions with Leanne as they were always very supportive. Leanne was always full of suggestions to help with my business. Firstly, her encouragement was brilliant, she has so much energy and positivity as a person. The sessions also had structure as to what I needed to focus on, ideas to move my business forward. Leanne would also make sure my well-being was ok too. We would often do breathing exercises and positive affirmations at the start or end of the session.

Leanne is a hardworking dedicated individual who when everyone else is running for the hills she's running towards the issue offering support and guidance to anyone she can.

It was refreshing to see that this course uses clear language and plain English. The way Leanne breaks this down into easy to follow training is well received for someone that was a complete novice. She takes the time to give an insight into the real world of recruitment with experiences shared. Being able to dip in and out of modules around working tasks is another benefit. The information is aimed at all businesses, which makes you think about your own company's values, needs and processes; therefore the course becomes bespoke to you.

I would certainly recommend Leanne to a friend and also to colleagues and business associates and have suggested she aligns with our well-being organisation as her services would be very valuable for those building their well-being services with passion and not much business experience. I wouldn't change anything about the service she offered. It was precise to my needs and agile to adapt to the changes of the business as the coaching progressed.

had the pleasure of working with Leanne and learning an incredible amount of value from the Hiring Made Easy programme. Leanne provided my team with interview training and guidance which has been very well received and proved very successful in helping them recruit new team members. Throughout the training Leanne was able to target the training at the correct level for each individual, took feedback and supported them as they integrated the methods and practices into their own recruitment tasks.

She has a fantastic work ethic and regularly goes well beyond what you would expect, without being asked. Leanne is incredibly focussed and driven and is an absolute credit to the recruitment sector, there should be far more Leanne's in this world, in my humble opinion.

Leanne is very different from normal recruiters. What really impresses me is the way in which she shares her knowledge and experience across the industry rather than hoarding it.

What really stands out are the extra details and regular updates you get from her and the team, you feel part of the process without really doing anything! If you are looking to transform the results you get from recruitment then couldn't recommend Leanne highly enough!!
