Job Seekers Offered Free Career Coaching

People seeking positions in the public sector have an opportunity to receive free career coaching, in an initiative offered by London based recruiter Brooklands Executives, a leading executive search consultancy. Candidates will receive insight from a team of professional coaches, accredited and experienced across a range of business sectors and working to rigorous ethical standards.

David Jensen, CEO at Brooklands Executives, believes the recruitment industry needs to appreciate and be more considerate of the position the UKís public sector is in, given the growing impact of the global recession.

ìWe have worked successfully with the public sector for many years and we know that in this time of economic hardship, the public sector has an unrivalled opportunity to attract talent that maybe up until now, has been working in the private sector. It is clear from my experience our public sector clients are still seeking top talent for key roles,î says David.

ìBy providing three months of on-board coaching free of charge, we are able to offer both our client and the successful candidate maximum support as they come to grips with their new role. The offer is not only for people making the private-to-public sector transition; we are offering it for anyone appointed through our Executive Search practice into a new public sector job.î

Brooklands Executives offers a faster and more cost effective recruitment process. The company uses a unique CDrom Selectionô methodology that allows companies and prospective employees to watch interviews of each other. The technique gives greater insight and helps to save up to 75 percent of interviewing time. The company also works on a fixed fee-basis which is particularly attractive to clients managing budgets tightly.

ìTo coach a candidate well you must help them realise their full professional potential. This involves setting out practical goals and establishing an effective implementation strategy thatís user friendly and easy to monitor. Our current offer is both beneficial for the company as well as the manager or executive that they employ, as we aim to deliver the best talent while giving the candidates every opportunity to develop themselves too,î added David.

Previously Brooklands Executives has worked closely with organisations including Fire Services, Primary Care Trusts, Higher Education, and Local and Central Government.

The offer is available for candidates appointed within companies who have instructed a new assignment to Brooklands Executives before 31st July 2009.
