Bio
Iain Scott-Bainbridge
I have worked with numerous recruiters/head-hunters throughout my career, both as an employer and a client. To say that Lesley stands head and shoulders above these recruiters would be an understatement! I recently had the opportunity of being associated with Lesley and the recruitment company, One-One, during a recruitment process for a senior UK position. Lesley’s approach when dealing with people is a highly professional, ethical, and caring one. She understands a broad range of job roles and what is required to be successful in them, hence one of the reasons she is also enormously successful as a career coach. Her questions pre-interview stage are challenging but very relevant – an extremely professional, ethical, but down-to-earth person, I would highly recommend Lesley to anyone looking for an all-round recruiter and/or career coach. If anyone can get you on the way to where you want to be in your career – Lesley can!

I wholeheartedly recommend Lesley. Her approach goes beyond just offering standard advice. She took the time to understand my unique situation, aspirations, and concerns. This personalized attention made me feel supported and empowered throughout the process. Lesley possesses a wealth of knowledge about various industries and job markets. Her genuine passion for helping others and her expertise make her an exceptional career transition coach.

I'd absolutely recommend Lesley to any company or person looking for career coaching and job searching. Her professionalism coupled with many years of knowledge and experience proved invaluable during my coaching sessions and I benefited immensely from her services. It's been a pleasure working with Lesley and I hope to work more with her in the future.
