“We recently had a training session delivered by Kate and Andrea from KAG Training for our Technical management team. It was a very informative and well-delivered session that helped the team reflect on how we advertise roles, prepare for interviews, and conduct them effectively as hiring managers. It also highlighted the importance of our LinkedIn profiles in representing the business to potential candidates. The team really enjoyed the day and gave very positive feedback. I would recommend this training to any team looking to strengthen their recruitment approach.

 

Head of Technical

“The one day interview training course run by K.A.G. was an excellent review of all the important principles around recruiting starting with CV selection all the way through to the on boarding process with a clear emphasis on considering the implications of all aspects of the process – particularly from the candidate’s point of view.

I found the course very useful, and the practical aspects clearly reinforced the important point of seeing beyond the CV.

Real world examples of how these processes can work well or not also helped to raise our awareness of the pitfalls and benefits of basing selection on CV content, language, grammar and experience and revealed that even though the candidate might not look too attractive it is almost always worth speaking to any candidates put forward by K.A.G. as they screen any potential applicants so any CV forwarded has already been assessed and found to be suitable in some respect not always readily apparent.

Interviewing techniques were also covered and provided a very useful guide to ensuring that the interviewer is able to get a clearer idea of the person’s strengths and weaknesses by asking the right questions and that also the interviewee feels they have been treated fairly and can see the opportunities and progression a career at ABP has to offer.”

I and several colleagues from ABP UK had the privilege of undergoing interview training with K.A.G., and the impact was truly transformative. Their expertise in interview techniques, emphasising positivity and eliminating adverse elements was really helpful. The insights and strategies they shared not only elevated our interview process but also influenced our overall approach to candidate evaluation. Additionally, K.A.G.’s guidance on promoting our business within an interview setting proved invaluable. Their methods are practical, insightful, and clearly backed by a wealth of experience. Thanks to K.A.G., our team now approaches interviews with confidence and a keen focus on highlighting our company’s strengths. I highly recommend K.A.G. to any organisation looking to enhance their interview process and represent their brand in the best light possible.”

 

ABP

“We engaged Kate K.A.G. to hold a session with our talent team specifically looking at creative job advert writing and making the most out of their social media presence.  The day was informative and interesting, and the team enjoyed the additional one to one sessions Kate offers following the team training. We have seen an increase of social media activity from the team connecting with our existing and new social fans.
Thank you, Kate, for your time and expertise!”

 

Poundland

“Kate has just delivered a great, rewarding, valuable and very worthwile workshop on interview training. The workshop was very engaging and Kate was able to flex the workshop to suit all in attendance, who are all in different stages of their careers”

​I am also the ideal addition to any leadership meeting or conference where future resource planning is on the agenda as my knowledge and expertise will support Executive teams to plan and forecast your business needs in line with your company goals and growth.

I also work with you to refine your business proposition to ensure you remain attractive as an employer of choice in this competitive candidate market.

Speaker

And last but not least, in addition to my passion for the industry, I am also an event speaker at many business and networking events on topics such as leadership in the workplace, attraction & retention and understanding your value within your business and hold quarterly events to ensure that the people I work with are presenting the best possible version of themselves.
