As a recruiter, I understand that most employers have limited time to shortlist applications, particularly if inundated with CV’s.   First Impressions count and I will make your CV stand out from the crowd and ends up on the “YES” pile!

I have over 20 years’ experience in the HR field in diverse industry sectors and  supported many organisations on a range of Recruitment and Selection initiatives, complex employee relations casework, sensitive medical retirements and organisational change.

Delivering job search workshops, managing redundancy and redeployment processes and supporting people through the job search maze, I am also qualified in Psychometric testing and Counselling skills

I run my own successful Consultancy in Southampton and also work with Key Associates to deliver a seamless service to clients.

A Chartered Member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development,  my CIPD membership is my professional badge… staying relevant, credible and knowledgeable.

I engaged Stella to help make my CV and Linked In page more attractive to potential employers and to provide support with job search and interview techniques. Her excellent work has paid dividends and I’ve been offered an exciting new opportunity within 2 weeks of going live. I can highly recommend her for all things HR.

I went to Stella for advice and help with my CV and Interview preparation as I was looking for new employment. After taking on board all of Stella’s tips and completely reconstructing my CV I was in disbelief of the response I received from employers.

Stella was approachable, easy to understand and full of great helpful tips that I packed in to preparation for an interview. Within 3 days of putting my new CV format out to employers I was asked for interview and started the new role the day after.

Stella filled me with confidence that enabled me to project this at interview. I couldn’t recommend her enough if you wanted fast results with great advice

I am most grateful to Stella for completely revamping my 7 page CV (!). I now have a highly professional and impressive looking 2 page CV, in which Stella has highlighted my key skills and attributes. Having recently changed jobs, I sent out my new CV with job applications and I know that the CV, as well as my completed applications helped secure interviews for all of the jobs that I applied for.

Should I change jobs again, I am thankful to have such an excellent CV template to update and adapt myself, thanks to Stella’s hard work, knowledge and experience! Thank You!

Anon , HR Manager April 2019

Stella and I first met through a networking group and I quickly found her to be a credible and authentic HR professional with a wealth of experience and knowledge.

When I found myself looking to move on to my next role, having been with a company for 12 years, I was daunted by how to present myself to my future employer in my CV. Stella came to the rescue! She helped me reshape my CV to attract the type of employer I wanted to work for, highlighted skills that I had played down and gave me a CV that I was proud to send out but importantly was still me.

Every job I applied for using that CV I was invited to interview for and I had a new job within 8 weeks of beginning my search. I could not recommend Stella enough and am very grateful to her.
