Tim Roberts

MD - Thrive Tribe

A session with Work in Progress is like going into a giant Waterstones and picking out the exact right book, going to a specific chapter and pulling out that great piece of information you’ll never forget. They get to the heart of the issues without making you feel like you are being investigated or tested.

Jen Bailey

Coaching with Work in Progress has been transformative. Having a different set of eyes to view my business has been so helpful. Setting goals as a small business is hard to focus on but it really adds value.

How we've worked with one of our clients to change their recruitment

As one of the decision-makers at my company, I faced a daunting recruitment challenge. We desperately needed talent but couldn't find the right fit. Our industry is not the easiest to recruit into and we've previously used word-of-mouth to find people, but that has been very hit-and-miss.

Traditional recruitment methods bombarded us with CVs, yet none matched our standards. Then, Work in Progress (WIP) stepped in and transformed our approach.

They didn't just send candidates; they brought in hundreds of potentials and rigorously screened them, ensuring only the best were presented to us. WIP designed a bespoke assessment day that was not only innovative but perfectly aligned with our company culture. This process not only led us to hire an exceptional candidate but also proved to be cheaper than our previous methods.

We've recruited several candidates now and the impact is undeniable, affirming WIP's approach to recruitment.
