Rhys Lilley - Learning & Development Specialist
I was made redundant earlier this and wasn't sure how or where to start getting back into the job market. I stumbled up on a webinar with Tansel which I thought I'd attend. The webinar was very useful and helped me with my CV. Additional Tansel was very helpful, knowledgeable and really easy to talk to.
I had a coaching with him afterwards which was great and gave me lots of helpful advice and tips. I think Tansel is professional, approachable and genuinely wants to help which is rare these days. He doesn't force products on you either. I've secured a new role now and the tips I learned from Tansel definitely contributed to this so I would highly recommend him. Thank you for your help!

I am happy to recommend Tansel as a coach. I found his insights into the profession from his years of recruiting to be really helpful and he provided useful prompts that encouraged me to think about new possibilities for my career in the future.
Additionally, Tansel leads an HR networking group that I am a part of, where he promotes collaboration and facilitates discussions among senior HR professionals. This has been a valuable experience for me.
