People Management
I develop strategies with clients to clearly communicate performance expectations and achieve goals
The strategy:
- Collaboration with employees to understand their needs for feedback
- Implementing measurable KPI’s
- Development of a behavioural competency framework
- Design of a performance appraisal system that provides specific feedback for each role
- Upskilling managers to provide constructive feedback
Client feedback:
format_quoteCarole designed and implemented a staff performance appraisal system which has enabled us to give very specific feedback and to resolve issues and develop people more quickly. In the past, we spent more time managing poor performers, now we have a greater focus on turning already good performing people into high performers. A much better investment of time.

Carole Bates, expert recruiter
I specialize in working with businesses to help them build a strong team for sustainable growth. No matter what the industry, the "matchmaking" process of recruitment is hugely rewarding, from getting to the bottom of what it takes to be successful in a role to presenting a candidate who can deliver what my client needs.
By "unbundling" the recruitment process, I can offer you affordable solutions. You can access expert support as and when you need it to get the hiring process right.
