Testimonials

We first partnered with Personal Career Management a few years ago during a particularly challenging time for our company. Faced with the difficult task of redundancies, we wanted to provide meaningful outplacement support to our employees as they navigated their next career steps. Personal Career Management’s tailored, compassionate approach exceeded our expectations. They worked closely with us to design the best possible path forward for our people, ensuring they felt supported, empowered, and well-equipped for their job search. Given the sensitivity of the situation, their expertise was invaluable, and we couldn’t have been more impressed with the level of care and professionalism they brought to the process. Fast forward to last year, as we shifted our focus to employee engagement, happiness, and retention, we knew exactly who to call. Once again, Personal Career Management delivered above and beyond, guiding us in integrating career coaching into our L&D strategy. Today, whenever an employee seeks direction or inspiration for the next step in their career, Personal Career Management is our go-to resource. Their career coaching has become an integral part of our internal development offering, and their impact on our workforce has been truly transformative. Personal Career Management has evolved from a service provider into a trusted partner - one we now consider essential to our business. Simply put, they’re the best at what they do.

“We appointed Personal Career Management to carry out outplacement workshops for employees who were at risk of redundancy. The level of service, flexibility and professionalism was exceptional and we received nothing but positive feedback from the attendees. I would have no hesitation in recommending Personal Career Management and look forward to working with them in the future whether with outplacement, coaching or career workshops.”

Gemma Bicknell, HR Manager - Avnet

“Personal Career Management provided us with a very high level of expertise; an understanding of the various issues associated with the individual aspects of redundancy, professionalism in their approach and undertook the administrative aspects themselves. We used a two pronged approach with them which included an ‘open’ workshop looking at the external marketplace and an overview of CV writing and interviews, coupled with a one to one meeting afterwards to address individual concerns and issues. The feedback on these sessions was highly positive and uplifting which is to their credit in such difficult circumstances. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Personal Career Management to anyone.”

Alison Heaney, HR Director - Travelex Currency Services

“We have been very pleased with the level of service we have received and more importantly our employees report back that they too have been very impressed. One thing that has been really valued is the quality of coaching which has been to a depth people hadn’t expected and people have felt well supported in this space. This has been a critical factor in the success of our people. As a Company we have also felt well supported with the quick response to pick up some very individual and specific requests we have made and feel that the service has been flexible enough to meet our needs.”

Jo Cochrane, HR Business Partner - Capital One

“The Royal College of Psychiatrists brought in Corinne and her colleagues from Personal Career Management to deliver a series of 1:1 coaching sessions to our staff. Slots were quickly oversubscribed and feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Staff received preparatory materials in advance which allowed them to get the most out of their sessions, and reported being given a broad range of tailored advice that really helped shape plans for the future. We have gone on subsequently to book further sessions and are looking forward to another couple of batches this year. Would thoroughly recommend.”

Hannah Lucas - Royal College of Psychiatrists

“We wanted to help staff with their career development. The training and 1:1 personal coaching sessions delivered by Personal Career Management have helped staff take stock and assess their options, where they are heading and how they can get there. Personal Career Management are skillful, wise, flexible and understanding facilitators and I fully recommend them.”

Siobhan Beatty had spent 22 years working for a financial services company. She had set up the HR department and then achieve ground breaking work in the area of CSR. However the difficult economic climate meant that her role was made redundant. This left Siobhan, aged 52, wondering what she could do that would give her the creativity and satisfaction of her previous job. She wanted to do something completely different but wasn’t sure if she was brave enough. “I found it incredibly empowering working with Personal Career Management. I had a vision of becoming a teacher but I needed someone to interrogate me to see whether I was being practical. I was over 50, with three children and other responsibilities so I knew it was a big lifestyle change and a risk. My career coach really helped me to think this through and make sure it was right for me. I’m now teaching English and loving it.”

Nigel Best was made redundant after six years as a Director of Business Development in the Defence Sector. His redundancy came out of the blue. He spent months looking for a job and was beginning to despair as he’d got down to the last stage of interview three times in a row and failed to get the job each time. He researched a number of companies and decided to work with Personal Career Management. “It was brilliant for giving me back my confidence, making sure my CV was making the most of my relevant expertise and that my interview technique wasn’t letting me down. Within a few weeks I had three job offers and actually had to choose between them all. My new job is in Business Development as before with a comparable salary and package. Considering the position I’d been in before Christmas it was an amazing turnaround in a very quick time.”

Sharon Collins was in senior management working in social housing. She had an excellent salary and a large team of people working for her but unfortunately found herself being made redundant. Despite the success Sharon gained in her career, she had been toying with the idea of working for herself. The challenge was to have a stimulating career which paid the bills, but enabled her to spend the quality time she really wanted to spend with her children. “My coach was invaluable in helping me to make that transition between self employment and my previous career. He helped with the change process and played devil’s advocate around the business planning and without his input, I think it would have been very difficult to make the transition.”
