Your Choice Interims provide a first class service from the moment they contacted me as a candidate. The depth of the background information provided, the response to queries, the conversations about contracts were all conducted in an enabling and constructive way. Mike and Pam's in-depth knowledge of the public sector proved particularly valuable in setting the vital contexts of the assignments and interviews.

Once on assignment with Your Choice, I always felt supported. Mike was on the other end of the phone whenever needed, injecting his practical common sense and concrete suggestions as to ways forward. As an experienced Interim, I've worked through most agencies, but found Your Choice a better proposition than most. They encourage real ownership of the candidate's relationship with the client, and genuinely manage to act as support and facilitation in that relationship.

My dealings with YCI have been invariably constructive whether in relation to a specific assignment or of a general nature. They take the time and effort to understand needs and help in importing clarity through a thorough brief, regular contact with clients and candidates and understanding and experience of the sectors in which they operate.

Their hard work and attention to detail on your behalf does not become exhausting bureaucracy.

I should not hesitate in recommending them to clients and colleagues.

Found the initial contact really good. Took time to meet and go through C.V. and gave advice where improvements could be made. When an opportunity came forward, very helpful in re-wording/fitting the C.V. to bring out qualities needed for that role. Advice very useful and dialogue constructive. No issues in holding back - i.e. tell people how it is (in a nice way with suggestions for improvement where needed.

Definitely would recommend.

I found the YCI interview preparation, particularly the session with Mike and Bob to be very helpful indeed. I was really impressed at the investment you made in this process, and at the care and thought you put into getting the right fit between the client and the candidates. I found the feedback Mike and Bob gave to be immensely helpful. In the end, success in placing a person is often down to a sense of whether the client and the candidate would work well together, a sense of complementary skills with sufficient common ground for there to be trust. I think the investment YCI made in getting this right is very impressive: I wish it were more commonly adopted in the interim business.

I also found the care you took following the interview impressive, particularly asking me whether I had any reservations. As it happened, I didn't: I felt entirely confident ... but in part this was due to the care you had taken. But it was good to be asked, and I did feel that - had I had any reservations - you would have worked to resolve them with me and the client.

The contract process was well managed, prompt, comprehensive, proportionate and sensible. I also like the YCI business model: I think negotiating a fee for the introduction is so much more professional than other models which continue to charge an oncost to a candidate's day rate.

I found the experience of working with YCI to be very high quality. The investment in matching client and candidate honestly and openly, and in actually giving genuine feedback and support to be very professional and positive. YCI have always been there when needed, and in touch in an entirely appropriate way, neither remote nor intrusive. Well done.
