“"Clear Cut Selection have been an excellent support to me as a leader. They understood the brief and context quickly, identified key areas to work on and expertly coached me through a very tricky process to a positive outcome. I highly recommend their work, professionalism and dedication." Sophie Livingstone MBE, London
“Rich was fantastic. He coached and advised me through a long, multi-stage CEO recruitment process where I was ultimately offered the job. Like all good coaches, he teased answers out of me and ensured I was considering all the different angles. He also helped me rehearse and fine-tune interview questions and a presentation I had to give. I am enormously grateful for his help, it made a real difference.” Simon, London
“A genuinely superb coach who tailored coaching sessions according to my needs.” Asiya, London
“A really great experience. I was transformed from a nervous wreck to a super confident and relaxed candidate in a short period of time. Richard was clear and on the nose with all his comments. Great feedback and advice given and taken on board.” Jacqueline, Wrexham
“Rich was extremely helpful in bringing clarity and direction to how I should progress my career. After just 6 sessions of coaching I was amazed at how far I had come in deciding what direction I wanted to take and how much confidence, and peace of mind, it gave me to have a clear path to focus on. I live in the United States so Rich was very accommodating with the timing of our sessions, and the virtual sessions worked just as well as being face to face. He was always so positive and supportive throughout and I would highly recommend his coaching services to others.” Tracy, Arizona USA
“After job hunting for over a year and just struggling to get over the final hurdle I contacted Richard, within two months, I received an offer on a new job. He is brilliant at spotting the holes and pitfalls in both your CV and presentation skills to give you that extra boost that you need. More than that, the added strategy and coaching of ways to approach situations and how to negotiate also very valuable. Thank you Richard, I couldn’t have done it without you!” Richard, London
“I highly recommend Richard and his coaching service. Richard has been paramount to helping me secure my new position. Since working with Richard I've been able to secure 2 job offers. His expertise, from my CV review to coaching me through interview format and questions, was the key to bolstering my confidence and helping me stand out in a highly competitive job market. His help doesn't just stop after the coaching sessions either, he has been available to help me navigate 2 job offers at the same time and offer advice on negotiating the best outcome. I am extremely grateful to Richard for his help and making this most daunting process more manageable.” Faizan, London

“I have worked with Richard on a number of different projects throughout the years and his professionalism, knowledge and the support that he provides is second to none. He's attended our Diploma in Integrative Coaching and proved exceptionally capable at working non-directively with clients, supporting areas such as overcoming limiting beliefs, confidence and exploring values. This is what makes Richard great - his ability to truly flex depending what the client needs. Can easily recommend to others.” Joseph Grech, London
“My experience with Richard has been and continues to be extremely rewarding, both professionally and in personal terms.” Jean, Belgium
“I recently applied for a leadership position at a not-for-profit organisation. The role was more senior than I had previously held or applied-for so I sought advice through Clear Cut Selection. I came into the recruitment process with what I assumed was a fair preconception of what to expect. However, Clear Cut Selection really helped me to gain a better understanding of the breadth of the role and the interview questions that I should expect. We had a few sessions where we broke down the role, what the recruiters were looking for and how my skills and experience matched their requirements. Finally, we role-played the interview scenario, with Clear Cut Selection’s consultant providing me with feedback and constructive ways to build on my responses to interview questions. I went into the interview armed with a greater level of confidence, a much better understanding of the role and a set of impressive question responses. My interview performance was definitely improved as a result of the coaching that I received from Clear Cut Selection. Thank you!” Tom Barratt, London
“Thank you for your help with CV training and interview skills, it really helped me with my interview, felt really comfortable and in control. Several questions came up that I had prepared for, had done my homework on the company, and had questions for the interviewer. It all went so well, that they are now getting a start date together, and expecting to begin work with them in the next week or so. Thank you for a really informative day, that had such practical application for me.” Simon, Luton
“Having booked a last minute mock interview with Richard ahead of an interview in education, I would fully recommend his services. During the session Richard gave clear, supportive advice and also gave tips on dealing with nerves and anxiety. Richard's questions were tailored to the exact role I was applying for and many similar questions came up during the actual interview, meaning that I felt confident in answering them - and secured the job. I had never used an interview coaching service before and so wasn't sure what to expect, but would not hesitate to use Clear Cut Selection again. I felt that the fantastic feedback and personalised approach made it a worthwhile investment and excellent value for money. Thank you Richard.” Jess, Midlands
“I highly recommend this service. Richard gave me valuable insights and guidance.” Federica, London
“Richard was incredibly helpful with my applications to various graduate schemes. Without his tailor-made sessions I would have struggled to develop the confidence and accuracy that helped me get my dream job. I thoroughly recommend him to anyone seeking interview coaching. Thank you!” Dominic, London
“Excellent service. Very professional and provided prompt reply to my questions. 100% satisfied.” Rosemary, London
“Within a couple of sessions, Richard helped me improve drastically. I knew I had the skills for placements in the pharmaceutical industry but I was unable to communicate and demonstrate that effectively, during my first assessment centres.With the help of Richard , my confidence grew, I was more prepared and he gave me insight and examples as to what employers look for . Thanks to him , I managed to get a placement which will further help me develop my career . I will definitely be using Clear cut selection again in the future” Marion, London
“I had a mock interview with Rich in preparation for my graduate interview at PwC. I had only done a couple of interviews prior to that (for internships and part-time jobs) and never for a full-time graduate role. I ended up getting the job -- Rich's help really played a massive role! Rich was really clear in his advice and not afraid to tell me when I sounded robotic. He was also very encouraging in the places I was doing well. A good partner to have when preparing for an interview. Thanks, Rich!” Ramin, London
“I just wanted to write a review to say thank you for your help Richard and to let you know I got offered the job today. They pretty much called me back straight after and offered me a position. It really helped me take my interview technique to the next level. It was really useful to use you as a sounding board to check how my examples came across and I appreciated your honest, constructive feedback. It really was invaluable and made me feel confident and prepared on the day.” Louise
“When searching for interview coaching, I came across Clear Cut Selection which the reviews seemed like a good option - and I was absolutely correct. After a consultation with Richard I booked 5 lessons with him where we went through interview preparation via Skype video call which he recorded and sent the recording for me to review it later. Richard is really patient and assertive - which simply having him there each lesson increased my confidence at interviews. Before interview coaching I received a few rejections as I wasn't fully confident in how to answer interview questions and having this in my mind at every interview my body language at interviews exposed this. After having coaching with Richard, I managed to secure an Audit placement at Deloitte which couldn't have been possible if it wasn't for him. He constantly reviewed my interview answers from questions he set me which proven to be effective, as well as teaching me the appropriate body language at an interview. I highly recommend Richard for coaching and he will be the only one I will recommend to anyone who is searching for interview coaching!” Faizan, London
“Thanks Richard for doing such an amazing job. I was offered the first two jobs I applied for. That wouldn’t have happened without you.” Annabel, Melbourne. Australia
"I landed myself a full time post thanks to all your support!!!" Bhavna, Leicester
"I researched interview coaching after a knock back at my previous interview. The opportunity came up again and I found Clear Cut Selection online. Richard was punctual contacting me at pre arranged times. He spent time going through the job description and personalising potential questions. The mock interview was so useful for me. I got the job today and firmly believe that wouldn’t have happened without Richard. I would highly recommend this company." Andrea, Midlands
"Hi Richard. I would like to thank you for your assistance with preparing me for interviewing. I believe working with you I was able to gain confidence in my response and it allowed me to really explore and think about my responses being at the right level.
Due to this I have been made an offer, which I am really pleased with and I have accepted.
Thank you for all of you support." Anonymous HR Manager, London
"Richard is continuing to be a tremendous help in supporting me find my dream job. I’m very grateful for all the advice he has given me. I’ve learnt so much from him and now feel ready to face any interviewer knowing, with the help from Richard, I’ll be able to answer any question without hesitation." Debbie, Preston
"I had attended a few interviews lately and came out feeling as though I could have done better.
I discovered Clear Cut Selection by a Google search and arranged a free 15 min consultation. I knew within the 15 min's that Richard could help me. He seemed to really 'get' where I was at. I wasn't wrong. I immediately booked a mock interview. This was a hugely insightful experience, watching myself back and the very thorough feedback that I received from Richard was constructive and honest.
I was able to reflect on the feedback and apply it in my interview. The interviewers were very impressed and offered me the job! In a nut shell, Richard helped me to realise that the little things that I had dismissed demonstrated my aptitude and would be valued by a future employer. The process enabled me to articulate myself in a confident and concise manner. I would be very happy to recommend Clear Cut Selection." Anila, London
"Clear Cut Selection is a great and efficient way to get some interview practice. Having questions tailored to the job interview allowed me to single out areas that I hadn't really thought about. The feedback was excellent and clear and having a balance scorecard, as well as the video recording, was really useful. Kind Regards." Jessica, Milton Keynes
“I got the job thanks to your excellent coaching!! Your coaching made me think about questions that I hadn’t previously.” Sarah, West Midlands
“I worked with Richard for several months on my interview technique. At all times he was professional and insightful and really helped me to improve the way I answered all manner of questions. He was also very supportive, always finding a positive spin on the inevitable knockbacks that come with finding a new position and ways in which to improve my interview preparation. Compared to other providers with whom I’ve worked, he’s also incredibly good value for money. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.” Jason, Cambridge
