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!
Sarah Bridger - Head of HR
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.
I recommend Tansel to anyone looking for coaching support or those interested in the various networking and development support he provides in the HR and Recruitment field.

At a crossroad in professional life and in a difficult personal situation Tansel helped me a great deal structuring my thinking. By redefining my values with a top-down and bottom-up approach together with him, I took a lot of learnings. Essentially, I landed my dream job right after.

Akthar Hussain - CEO Healthcare
Tansel has a real personable approach and his team take time in advance to ensure the brief received is accurate to match the best candidates suited for our role and environment. They also have access to various psychometric analytical methods if required.
Viewing vetting interview videos was incredibly helpful to enable us to efficiently shortlist candidates for final interviews with pre-agreed questions set. This saves time for both the candidate and interview panel. Tansel's team can do this first stage for you again saving some valuable time for your hirers.
I would recommend his team, especially for difficult to appoint roles or roles requiring candidates who are function leads. It is really worth taking that extra time to carefully study the role and discussing this extensively which will save the organisation a lot of time and resources later.

He gave me lots of ideas on how to make the most of my business and offering. He was able to instil belief and confidence in me about how I work and what I have built, which definitely banished any imposter syndrome I may have had. Tansel is a natural mentor.
He can understand a business and person holistically and what could be holding them back or what they need to work on. I look forward to working with Tansel more in future, and seeing him and his fantastic team and business grow!

I genuinely believe he works ethically and to the best interest of his client and candidates and I have no hesitation in recommending his services for senior HR recruitment.

We met Tansel for an introduction meeting prior to launching our recruitment campaign. The whole experience was simply perfect, and 6 months later we are very grateful for the service offered and the appointed candidate.
Personally, the key aspect of the recruitment journey with Tansel was having the confidence that we have someone who understands our specific needs and explain thoroughly our expectations to the applicants. The service was excellent and Tansel was very attentive with regular discreet updates and follow ups. We would have no hesitation in recommending Tansel and The Talent Place team.

He is highly intuitive, with emotional intelligence that enables him to understand both the client and the candidate, and develop relationships based on solid trust.

Good value for the price. I like the flexibility that this group offers and like that topics are submitted in advance. Ideal for HR leaders going through a period of change as includes practical discussions around experiences that may be on future agenda for people strategy.
Kester Withams - Head of People
This working group has been a unique opportunity to connect, share insights, and discuss the specific challenges and opportunities that we as HR professionals face. Given the isolated nature of many senior and leadership HR roles, creating an opportunity for meaningful peer support and knowledge sharing is incredibly valuable.
Florentina Dita - Group People Director
Tansel placed me in my current role and it was a real pleasure working with him. Traveling and getting last minute wedding preparations done in the same time as my interview process was a busy time to say the least but Tansel was very supportive.
Managing expectations well throughout the recruitment cycle, being open and transparent about feedback and being available at any time, weekends included was a very nice touch. I’d definitely collaborate with you again Tansel!
