Since 2001, we’ve helped countless recruitment firms and independent recruiters to transition their business from pure contingency to a retained model. Here is a small selection of reviews from clients who received a measurable return-on-investment.
We have worked with Mark on both an in-house basis and his webinars. Mark’s training is superb particularly when looking at Bespoke offerings. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark to anyone looking at Recruitment Training.

I was lucky enough to recently be coached by Mark Whitby. The sessions were always interesting and thought provoking. After 21 years in recruitment it is refreshing to learn something new. I cannot wait to put the new skills in to practice.

Mark has been consulting with us to help improve the way we go about Recruitment, he has brought some eye opening ideas to the table and I personally have experienced welcome improvements in the way I go about business. I’ll stop short of giving away the secrets but have no hesitation in recommending Mark to any Recruiter or Consultancy looking to reach the next level in their Recruitment journey.
Thank you Mark.

Mark has helped me to really prioritize where I wanted to grow my business and what is the best way to do that. He helped me through some very challenging times and I can say that I couldn’t have come out so successfully if it wasn’t for his guidance. I would highly recommend him to jr. and snr. consultants, as well as business owners. Thanks Mark!

I have been working with Mark in order to sharpen up my skills and found him inspiring, motivational and he has offered me advice and guidance in order to grow my business.
From the mentoring I received with Mark I presented our services to a new client, Mark was on call to give advice and make suggestions about the proposal we wrote and the outcome was that we won eight new roles with a brand new client, all of which were on an exclusive basis.
I can highly recommend Mark if you are looking to refresh your skills or learn new ones and grow your business.

I was skeptical to use a coach thinking most of it will be a ‘sell’ and not much value. Fortunately one of my ex-colleagues had worked with Mark and recommended him very highly. Am glad to say Mark is a thoroughly great guy with your best intentions always at heart; and that really comes through. His knowledge of recruiting is vast and the coaching is tailored to you specifically. Every session was hugely valuable and so rich in content that I’ve still to start some strategic projects. If you’re looking for brushing up on daily recruiting skills or more strategic coaching Mark is definitely the answer. I’ve recommended him to a few other friends with their own businesses and will work with him again in future. Great guy + vast knowledge + excellent results = No Brainer.

I would highly recommend Mark – I had a 6 month stint with him with the aim of starting an Interim desk and winning my first retainer. Both were achieved. Job done. Thanks Mark.

The team were very positive about the workshop and more importantly have been putting the ideas into practice. In the last three months, we won £35,000 worth of retained assignments as a direct result of the strategies and techniques we learned on the course.

Since my team attended your retainer selling course less than one week ago, they have already sold two retained assignments with £7K of retainer fees on the board plus £4K in client paid advertising. Obviously we’re delighted with how quickly these results have come through.
Gordon NuttallFounder and Senior Partner, Global Jobs Network,
As you know we do most of your training in-house, and I am reluctant to pay outside consultants. However we made an exception in your case and I’m glad we did. The feedback from the consultants was excellent, which is an achievement in itself, considering they are all industry veterans who are not easily impressed. More importantly, we’ve had very good results from your programme. One of our consultants sold her first retained assignment less than one week after the training.
Steve McCutcheonCEO
A solo contingency recruiter for the past 5 years, reasonably successful but I felt that there was more I could do, more I could learn and more I could offer.
I spoke to 3 different Coaches, Mark stood out as someone who could help me take my career to the next level.
Just completed a 6 month plan with Mark, results are in!
– Won my first retained assignment in my chosen sector
– Perfected some of my sales skills and recruitment processes
– Upgraded my CRM – work flow is seamless
– Outbound marketing in full swing, already received two separate leads from completely cold clients asking for my help (first time in 5 years)
– My passion for recruitment has returned to the same level as when I was a rookie – not bad considering I started out in 2005
I am now consolidating all the information, strategies and tactics Mark taught me. Mark has introduced me to a wealth of knowledge & industry experts which will help me as a I grow the business. I plan to continue using Mark in the future. Definitely my trusted adviser.
