I wanted to let you know I am 12 months into the AHRI APC course and I thought of you today.
We were asked about training we have received throughout our careers which have been a effective, and I talked about you and the impact you have had. I am a relationship focused recruiter because of you who values peoples time and strives to provide a service. When problems occur I ask and think about “specificity” to team members and look at what we can learn. Service, service, service and money will follow! I can hear your voice…

So in summary, thank you.

Sophie trained our whole company in both Sydney & Melbourne and gave us some valuable new tools to help enhance our recruitment service offerings. She is professional, articulate and engaging and I would highly recommend her training courses.

I have attended Sophie’s masterclasses many times and always learn something new. I love Sophie’s incredible storytelling, no-nonsense approach and find that her hands-on experience makes her training relatable as she has been through it all herself. I have also read her book more times than I can count, if you haven’t read it then you need to! I genuinely accredit a huge amount of my success to Sophie’s training, it has been invaluable for my career. Thanks so much, Sophie!

I had the pleasure of attending Sophie’s temp masterclass and was amazed by her knowledge and understanding of recruitment as a whole. Despite doing “temp recruitment” for three years, I was able to learn on how to improve my business management and how to better my temp desk. Would recommend her training to anyone either new or already experienced in the industry. Best training I’ve been to thus far.

From 5 temps, I struggled to get to 10 – Until I attended Sophie’s Temp Masterclass last year! Sophie’s approach and past experience really resonated with my own struggles and helped me overcome them. Since meeting Sophie, I’ve broken my own records time after time. If anyone is a specialist in their field, its Sophie!

Sophie’s training is highly beneficial and very engaging. I have attended two training sessions to date (in large and small team settings) and have been impressed by her creativity and industry insights. On both occasions I have found her knowledge to be very useful and have successfully applied this to my role. Sophie would make an excellent mentor.

I had the absolute pleasure of receiving one on one coaching sessions with Sophie while working for Cox Purtell and I can honestly say it is the best training I have received in my career to date. Sophie digs deep to uncover roadblocks and areas for growth and development. There isn’t a problem Sophie doesn’t have a solution for. Her methods are tried and tested, and so simple to implement. Sophie has a way to turn what may seem a negative situation into an opportunity. She is motivating and inspiring, and her advice has had a direct impact on my billings. Our entire office now has a saying, what would Sophie say – corny but true.

Sophie is a recruiting legend and I can’t recommend her highly enough if you are looking for a trainer or coach to reach your personal or business potential in the recruitment industry. I personally owe Sophie a great deal as she helped me to increase my personal billings by over 40% through one to one coaching sessions, as well as increasing the profits of our business across the board. She challenges the status quo with the best interests of clients and candidates at the heart of everything she does. A true professional, ethical in practice, humble in nature and encouraging in the most amazing way, Sophie will help you to reach your true potential. Thank you Sophie!

Compelling, personable, inspiring and memorable. Sophie’s temp desk masterclass is like gold dust for the old and new generation of recruitment specialists. Grateful to have gained such relevant, valuable and transferable knowledge so early on in my career. Honoured to have been coached and challenged by such a credit to the industry.

I was lucky enough to receive coaching from Sophie when I worked at Wavelength International. Recruiting in a busy locum desk, it was hard to find time to plan ahead and know where to strategically focus future efforts. Sophie helped identify my ‘blind-spots’ and new areas for growth. Her suggestions were practical, methodical and more importantly they worked! I experienced personal bests in sales and felt in control. I would recommend Sophie’s training to any recruitment professional wanting to grow their business.

Thank you for delivering yet another brilliant mentoring session for our Consultants on Monday.

I am delighted with the way that you built and delivered the last and previous sessions including the often unplanned and side-tracked questions and requests. I have witnessed an immediate and positive effect on the activity of our consultants after each and every session and they are most certainly more confident and steadfast in their approach.

I look forward to seeing the growth and development of our consultants as your mentoring continues.

Sophie’s book ‘Secrets to Running a Lucrative Temp Desk’ is an absolute god sent! I was fortunate enough to have been introduced to the book when I was first starting out in recruitment and it has helped me immensely. Sophie’s recruiting technique is simple yet extremely effective and applying it to my role has resulted in much success.

The book is very easy to read and anyone working in recruitment, or business development would benefit from reading it!

Being new to the recuitment field I found Sophie’s course to not only be relevant, but entertaining and motivating. She was engaging and also interacted with the room and faciliated learning through a variety of styles.

I’m looking forward to my next learning experience with Sophie.

Having worked in recruitment for well over a decade I have attended many seminars and classes on how to sell. It was during Sophie’s Masterclass I found myself going back over some of some of the tools that we often take for granted in our day to day jobs. Tools we’ve used to get us to where we are in our careers and the very tools that we should always pass on to our staff in order to help them succeed.

Rather than tell us all what an expert she was in all things Recruitment, Sophie explained parts of what made her successful and then challenged us to look at the way we do things in order to find improvements. Not everyone has the ability to do this without ruffling feathers in an industry filled with “alpha personalities” but I personally found that Sophie’s delivery style achieved this well.

Sophie’s results through-out her career should speak volumes but her willingness to now pass on this goldmine of knowledge is an opportunity that I encourage others to invest in. I am extremely grateful for the time Sophie spent with us and I look forward to using her Masterclass to make me a better manager and recruiter.

I attended one of Sophie’s Temp Masterclass sessions in 2013. I arrived at the session not really focused on running a Temp book- but left the class wanting to focus solely on Temp Recruitment. The methodology outlined in Sophie’s training actually works! I established a $8K a week temp desk by following Sophie’s suggestions. It simply works! Her training style is fun, engaging and her ideas are amazing. Highly recommended!

Sophie is a highly professional trainer and happy to share her knowledge and experience gained from several years of hands on experience in her field. Her enthusiasm for sales and business development in recruitment is infectious. As a business owner, the fact that she is always available for a chat and on the spot advice is priceless.

When commencing my role as Managing Director I rapidly realised that public speaking would become a constant part of my life. As someone who had mostly avoided public speaking (largely due to a fear of it), this realisation inspired me to seek help.

Sophie ran a half day training session on public speaking that I can only describe as career changing. Her course content was concise, memorable and gave me two or three ‘take-outs’ that I still use today.

Sophie’s training has directly resulted in me being more effective in my role.

I would (and have on numerous occasions) highly recommend Sophie and Younique Coaching.

Sophie has been contributing ‘Ask an Expert’ articles to Recruiter Daily since June 2008, and in that time has built up a strong following of readers who respect and implement her advice. Based on feedback from those who have attended her workshops, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in the recruitment industry.

I ended up buying a further two copies of your book, three in total to give to two new consultants in my team. It is being used as a great learning device, with the three of us reading certain chapters every few days and then sitting down collectively and discussing what we learnt and what we can implement. New staff through to experienced Directors can learn from this book. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Hi Sophie. I’m about 9 months into my first solid recruitment role. I run a temp desk and I love it. My manager gave your temp book to me to read, and I’ve just devoured the last word. It has provided me with a lot to think about and things I haven’t yet picked up. I particularly liked your tips on new business development. I’ve taken loads of notes throughout my reading – a lot of the reading took place by the pool in Bali. FYI I’m just about to hit 1000 hours per week, I’m about 900. I have 30 temps. Honestly, managing those temps is like trying to keep all the chickens in the pen isn’t it! A new chick is born, then two chooks flee the coop! Lol And that’s all part of the fun! Anyway, thanks for sharing and releasing secrets to running a lucrative temp desk, it’s a fabulous book and I’ll recommend that to my recruiter mates.
