Candidate Testimonials
Catalyst were excellent in dealing with all aspects of my application. Above all, Paul made sure I met all the requirements and that the job suited my needs. He took the time to prepare me for interview, giving me tips and confidence so that I had the best possible chance on the big day. Paul guided me every step of the way, and it was clear that he gave every candidate equal attention. Regular contact meant that the tension and frustration that often comes when everything rests on waiting for a reply from a recruiter, was substantially reduced. I’d recommend Catalyst to every job seeker out there!

Paul is an extremely focused, reliable individual with a thoroughly professional approach and an ability to build great relationships with his clients.
I was lucky to be represented by Paul, as he is one of the best at his game.Anjum Ahmed
Over a long and varied career I have worked with many recruitment consultants, both as a job candidate and as an employer. In that time, I have yet to come across someone of Paul's professionalism, integrity and dedication. His perseverance in following-up the opportunity on my behalf, his attention to detail and the very sound advise he provided on how to approach the interview process were a revelation. Throughout the process, it was very clear that Paul, while making sure I was able to present myself in the best possible way to the prospective employer, also had the employer's best interests very much in mind. This extra effort to find a win-win-win solution is what truly differentiates Paul. I predict a very successful future for Catalyst and wish Paul all the very best in his endeavours.

As a previous Recruitment Consultant I understand the challenge of finding the right person for the right job and vice versa. In very testing times for graduates Paul helped find me a role in accountancy in what has turned out to be my 'dream job'. Paul provided brilliant advice in approaching interviews and was always very enthusiastic and dynamic in his approach. He demonstrated a high level of commitment and his competencies are key to the superb service he delivers. I would not hesitate in recommending Paul.

I'd worked with Paul in the past when he was at Solutions but lost touch until we "met" again on Linked In when I was in the process of recruiting an assistant accountant. Having been dealing with one of the larger agents I was having little success, receiving numerous CV's and several unsuccessful interviews - by week three we were scraping the barrel.
Picking this up with Paul was a breath of fresh air, he listened, understood and acted; unlike the other agencies. The CV's I reviewed were from the right people and the interviews were constructive. Within two weeks I had hired the right person who is going from strength to strength within our organisation - I cannot recommend Paul and Catalyst more highly.Nicholas Gibson
Paul is without doubt the best recruitment professional that it has ever been my pleasure to encounter; I genuinely enjoyed meeting and talking regarding my future.

Paul at Catalyst was instrumental in helping me get the job I wanted. He took a great deal of time and care in helping me improve my CV and interviewing skills, and it was really great to have his support throughout the recruitment process. Many thanks.

Paul at Catalyst helped me into my current role and I would always consider him first choice for any recruitment needs in the future. I also constantly recommend him to others. He is extremely good at understanding what his candidates are looking for and regularly keeps you informed of progress. Unlike some larger recruitment companies, Paul really gives you his time and genuinely evaluates the interests of both his clients and candidates.

I found the personal service that Paul provided unlike any other recruitment consultant that I have ever met before. He had the ability to listen, understand and then he helped me identify what it was that I really wanted out of my next role. More importantly, having identified an opportunity he was then able to go that extra mile and spend the time to personally prepare me for the all important interview.
I was put forward for one job, had one interview and got the job. Thanks Paul!

Catalyst constructively analysed my approach to interview, advising how to improve the way I behave and how to communicate really positively.
The fine-tuning had instant results. In an interview the day following our meeting, I felt extremely confident about presenting myself. Better for me and the prospective employer.
