Managing Director of the Leadership Consultancy.

 

I highly recommend the professional and personal services of Mike Cooper and Associates – my experience was exceptional with Mike committed to going the extra mile to obtain a detailed brief and insight into the success criteria for both the employer and candidate.

 

Simon Drake General Manager The Mandrake London

 

I have had the pleasure of working with Mike as a client and as a candidate.
Having been successfully placed by him in 3 different roles in my career it is apparent that he puts the candidates needs high on his agenda.
He matches roles to people on their strengths and development requirements as opposed to many larger recruitment brands who work on the mass CV basis.
On the other side of the coin I have utilised Mike for candidate searches and am delighted to say, I have never been let down.
Rather than a list of possible candidates with a range of back grounds Mike takes the time to understand the needs of my business and matches the role with one or two carefully screened applicants.
This procedure has proved successful on a number of occasions. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mike Cooper

I have known and worked with Mike for over 10 years. dealing with many recruitment firms over the years Mike stands out for his honesty and integrity which is refreshing. I will phone Mike for an update on what is happening within the Market for both people and company information. It is a pleasure to work with him as he has never not delivered what he promises.

 

Sarah Fountain Group Human Resources Director

 

I have worked successfully with Mike on many Senior appointments over the last 3 years with Kew Green Hotels and have been extremely pleased with the service he has provided. He takes the time to understand my business, it’s culture, and individual hotels in detail, and will always discuss any potential candidates with me in advance, rather than just sending through a myriad of CVs which are not suitable. He has vast knowledge of the hospitality industry, a great network and insight, and above all, is highly personable with a good sense of humour! I would highly recommend Mike for any General Management recruitment needs you may have.
