Testimonials

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I applied for a role through Michelle last year, at a time when I’d just been made redundant and the job market felt brutal. After sending out countless CVs and hearing nothing back, I was starting to really doubt myself. That all changed the moment I reached out to Michelle.
I spotted a local role she was advertising and messaged her on LinkedIn — she replied within minutes and called me shortly after. From that first conversation, she made me feel completely at ease. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine interest put me at ease, and I believe she got the very best version of me because she was able to make me feel comfortable to talk in a way that removed the ‘pressure’ of an interview.
Throughout the entire process, Michelle was incredible. She checked in regularly, kept me updated, organised follow-up interviews, and championed me every step of the way.
I got the job, and I couldn’t be more grateful to Michelle. Even if I hadn’t been successful, I’d already decided I wanted to stay connected with her — she’s exactly the kind of recruiter you want in your corner. I can’t recommend her highly enough – Thankyou Michelle!

Working with Tina at Zest4Talent was a great experience. She was professional, responsive, and provided excellent support throughout the process. I highly recommend her services!

Michelle was very supportive throughout the recruitment process. She kept me updated at all stages and gave me all the information I needed to prepare myself for the interview. She knows her clients very well and could answer all my questions. I have recommended her to other businesses as she is by far the best recruiter I have worked with.

I greatly appreciated Tina. She has provided excellent service throughout our interactions. I’m pleasantly surprised, as it is uncommon to meet this level of dedication from most recruitment consultants.
She has always kept me updated throughout the service. She is knowledgeable about the industry and is understanding and approachable. I strongly recommend her as a highly competent recruitment consultant.

“Tina was a professional and a pleasure to work with. She was always “on-the-ball” and was extremely efficient in communicating any and all updates throughout the recruitment process. Her understanding of the employers needs and those of the candidate led to a great fit across both skillset and work culture. I would certainly recommend her.”

Whilst I was looking to get back into work after a career break, mine and Michelle’s paths crossed and I’m incredibly happy they did. She listened to me and understood what I was looking for perfectly, all whilst being very transparent about the roles she was recruiting for so we could match up what I would and wouldn’t like.

She was on the ball throughout the whole process, proactively phoning me or returning my calls in a timely manner, giving me relevant updates and advice which was very helpful.

For anyone (candidates or hiring managers) needing a great recruiter, then Michelle is the right person for you. She’s a fantastic recruiter and you’ll be in good hands. Thank you Michelle.

Tina is an excellent recruitment specialist, and the process of finding the right position for me was enjoyable and hassle free. Tina has experience working in HR management within the industry which really shows, and her intuition and insight into prospectus companies was invaluable during my interview process, helping me to make the correct decision. She tailored my recruitment process to suit my requirements and was able to line up multiple interviews with amazing companies. She was always on hand for a briefing before interviews and follow up meetings, which was an invaluable resource.

Tina at Zest4Talent really is fantastic. I contacted her about finding a new role, but it had to be right to work around my family. She understood my needs and took the time to really find out what it was I was looking for. It wasn’t long before I had an interview, shortly followed by a great offer from the ideal company for me. Having been in the role for a month, I love it which goes to show Tina really does know her stuff.

The first moment I spoke to Michelle I knew she had a different approach to other recruiters. She listened with sincerity, she gave me an honest appraisal of the role I was interviewing for and helped me every step of the way both before the interview and afterwards. She has kept in touch and motivated me along the way. The key word to describe Michelle is integrity. I wish her luck in her new venture Zest4Talent. April 2022

Michelle has been an absolute pleasure to deal with, she is personable, kind, patient and professional. Whilst all other recruiters have made me feel like a number to fill a role and been pushy, Michelle has been calm, informative and given wonderful advice to ensure that the company is the right fit for me. She is a delight and I would recommend her to anyone, in fact I have! April 2022

We had previously struggled to find suitable candidates but successfully filled our bespoke vacancy in a short timeframe which was essential for our business at the time. We would like to thank Michelle, who was easy to talk to and very attentive to our requirements with lots of contact and feedback along the way. We will definitely be using Michelle and her new business Zest4Talent. May 2022

Michelle was a huge support to me during the interview process for a senior sales management position. She offered guidance and critique every step of the way. I was counter offered by another company and never accepted the role she had put me forward for, however her reaction to this was so supportive and genuine I made sure I came back to her as a client this time and asked her to recruit for my sales team on a national basis. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any client. April 2022

Michelle at Zest4Talent contacted me about a job opportunity. Michelle has a different approach to most recruiters I have previously dealt with. She was open and transparent and took the time to really get to know me and what I was looking for. She knows the businesses she works with very well which gave me confidence in her ability to match me to the right role. She supported me throughout the interview preparation process and gave honest and constructive feedback. The role she has recently placed me in ticks all my boxes and I now love my job! Her service was exceptional and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her and Zest 4Talent. May 2022

I have worked closely with Michelle for over 9 years now. I have always found her to be professional, diligent and extremely hard working. Once I built a working relationship with her, every candidate she has put in front of me for an interview has been qualified for the role and more importantly once hired they have had longevity in the post. I believe this is because, unlike a lot of recruitment agents I have worked with, she listens! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any business/hiring manager. May 2022
