Ruth

I am an experienced HR and Talent Acquisition Consultant with over 25 years’ expertise in recruitment, selection and interview skills. Throughout my career, I have worked with leading employers including Unilever, Deloitte, Nestlé, Volkswagen, British Airways and the BBC, as well as local government and growing start-ups. I have personally recruited for thousands of roles – from apprenticeships and graduate schemes to senior leadership positions – giving me a clear insight into what employers are looking for and how candidates can stand out.

I now offer tailored one-to-one coaching for students and graduates applying to apprenticeship programmes, graduate schemes or their first professional roles. Sessions are personalised to your goals and may include:

Understanding the recruitment process and what to expect
Crafting strong CVs, cover letters and application forms
How to use Gen AI prompts for your application and interview preparation
Preparing for online tests and assessment centres
Practising interview techniques, including competency and strengths-based questions
Building confidence, presence and communication skills
I have delivered interview skills training to thousands of managers and candidates, and I am a committee member of the Better Hiring Institute, advising the UK government on best practice in recruitment. This unique perspective means I can help you prepare not only for the questions you’ll be asked, but also for the way employers evaluate candidates.

Whether you need a single session before an interview, or ongoing support through an application process, I will help you feel confident, prepared and able to perform at your best.
