Testimonials

I wanted to write to you to thank you so much for that mini coaching session we had. It was an absolute game changer for me and I’m so grateful. There was a wealth of information that I’ve gone through and updated on both my LinkedIn and CV so they’re now working well in tandem. But the main lightning bolt that landed with me was to put out there what I really love doing and want to do. It sounds so simple, and is so in line with me spiritually and from a coaching perspective, but sometimes it just takes someone else to spot it. You’re right – the stories/case study work is a fantastic niche. The first thing I did was link up with every person from every charity I could find who had stories or case studies in their role. This has brought me some incredibly useful feed, and many have followed me back. I feel much happier now about being in that realm which is work I truly love and feel very confident in.
"Liz is a truly 'specialist recruiter', immersed in all things Bristol and Creative, and I've always appreciated the personal service I've enjoyed over the years from her and the team. She understands the environment we work in, the roles we need to fill, and the skills that will be required by a successful candidate. Liz also understands the importance of a good personality / cultural fit which is critical, especially in a smaller business.."
"I had the pleasure of collaborating with Liz earlier this year on a business project, where I provided freelance services to support her in the creation of an online course for her recruitment business. Working with Liz was an absolute delight. Not only does she stand out as an exceptional professional in her field, thanks to her unwavering passion and profound knowledge of the recruitment sector, but the clarity of direction alongside well-defined expectations, made for a seamless collaboration and ensured we met her project goals. Together, we achieved remarkable results that were only possible due to Liz's expertise and dedication. I personally gained a wealth of knowledge working alongside her; a testament to her role as a true industry expert. I look forward to the opportunity of collaborating with Liz again in the future. I am confident that any upcoming projects with her will be marked by creativity, enthusiasm, and a commitment to delivering the highest quality and value. Liz's credibility and trustworthiness in her field are evident, and I wholeheartedly endorse her for any recruitment-related initiatives. She's not only a joy to work with but also a true standout in her industry.."
"I had the pleasure of working with Liz following redundancy, and I'm incredibly grateful for her invaluable support. Liz's expertise in CV writing, cover letter crafting, and LinkedIn profile optimisation, enhanced my job search. Thank you Liz for your kindness and support!"
"Liz has been an absolutely fantastic support in the re-brand and re-launch of my freelance copywriting business. I took part in her Talent Plus programme, a fully customised approach to identifying, targeting and winning new business. Liz advised me how to completely redevelop my business profile, covering everything from my CV and website to social media, pitch letters and phone scripts. I now have a strong 'tool kit' and a number of new touch points that I didn't have before - but more importantly, a plan for moving ahead and the confidence & self-belief to implement it! New clients are already emerging, with one or two meetings booked. Thank you Liz, you have made all the difference!!"
"Liz is one of life's capable professionals; extremely reliable and intuitive, Liz totally understands our industry and our agency. A true business pro and a proven entrepreneur."
"I have been working with this extremely talented and well-connected lady on her freelancer support programme. Liz seems to know everyone who is anyone in the South West and has provided a number of fruitful introductions. She's also given me the confidence to promote myself a bit (something PRs are notoriously bad at!). Thanks for all your support, Liz!"
"Liz Gadd is without doubt one of the most professional and well connected recruiters I have ever come across. She is an example of what professional consultative recruitment looks like and I am pleased to count her within my circle of contacts. Highly recommended."
"Liz is head and shoulders above any other recruitment consultant I have worked with in 14 years. I have worked with Liz as a client, supplier and candidate so have experienced her professionalism, extensive contacts and knowledge of the recruitment industry from different perspectives. She's passionate about her job and a real ambassador for high standards. She has a strong sense of integrity - an element sometimes lacking in an industry which is driven by sales commissions. Liz acts as a real consultant, adding value to everything she does. She's also a high advocate of investing in future talent - to improve the quality and opportunities candidates embarking on a career in the marketing, PR and creative sectors something which I fully support."
"Liz is great at cutting through detail and getting right to the nub of the issue which makes decision-making much more straight forward and, indeed, successful. As such she's a great asset to the CIPR in the West of England. On a personal level, Liz has got great energy and drive and is always there to offer support and advice at all hours of the day and night! She's that rare breed; a highly professional colleague and a true friend."
"Liz is quite unlike anyone I have met. Yes, Liz is incredibly well networked and thought of but her special quality is more than connections - it is an ability to read people, understand their core strengths, what motivates them and make quickfire decisions about who they will click with - she is an inspiration to work with."
"When it comes to recruitment Liz never fails to deliver. She takes time to understand your needs and works hard to find the perfect match. Her understanding of the PR communications business is excellent, she's very well connected and she's always upfront. Very refreshing approach"
"Liz has been a tremendous asset to the CIPR committee for a number of years and thoroughly deserved her Outstanding Contribution award in 2007. She has an unrivalled contacts book and thorough knowledge of the PR industry in the region. I'm sure Liz will be a key player in the region for many years to come."
"Liz is a highly effective and experienced Recruitment Professional. She is able to meet the exacting requirements of all client companies and candidates and has an exceptional talent to find the 'right people for the right job.' Her honesty and dedication are valued greatly by many long standing client companies, who retain her to meet their people needs continuously! I highly recommend her to my clients and colleagues."
"Liz is simply fantastic at what she does. She coached me through the early stages of a full-time freelance career, giving me sensible, pragmatic, and spot-on advice which has really helped kick-start my business. From encouraging me to come up with an elevator pitch (and helping me perfect it) to suggesting ways to make my website clearer to career advice, Liz really knows her stuff and was able to hone in on the little things that made a huge difference to the way I present myself. It was incredibly helpful for me to be able to bounce ideas off her and get honest advice, and refreshing to work with a coach who has not just direct experience in the PR and communications world but a massive contact book to boot! Her professional, encouraging attitude and her advice and coaching has already helped me secure new leads and prospects as well as some amazing contract work, and I look forward to continuing to work with her in the future."
