Chris Goulding

“I have known Chris for a few years now and have found him to be a forthright and good advice person. He has presented at a couple of events that I have attended. He keeps his audience engaged with his good humour, excellent interaction and well received subject matter.”

“Chris provided an extremely professional, positive and informative presentation which enabled individuals to assess their next career move. In what was a difficult situation given redundancy for many, Chris was able to give essential direction, clear advice and offer future support for individuals during these group sessions. A great number of my former colleagues were truly grateful for this tremendous guidance. Much appreciated.”

“I have known Chris for a number of years and he has supported me in filling a number of vacancy’s throughout the years. He took the time to understand and get to know the business and was very successful in finding us good candidates. Good reliable, considerate service provided from someone who actually cared about finding the best candidate for the role(s). ”

“Chris was always an engaged, attentive and informed Director to me during my time at Hays. His genuine compassion for others, coupled with a passion and head for great business made him an inspiring leader. Chris has a hugely positive energy that he applies to all areas of his work; his attention to detail, knowledge and expertise gained him the trust and respect of all his team and clients alike. Chris has always encouraged and supported me throughout my career to date and I cannot recommend his work and leadership highly enough. ”

“ I have known Chris for 18 years. He helped get me my first few jobs whilst I was studying and then his team helped me get my first roles after qualification. Since then he has always been on hand to offer advice when I am recruiting or with general market information. Chris has an extremely high knowledge of the local market, always gives honest advice and along with that approaches his job not just professionally but with unique humour!”

“Throughout my induction and training with Hays, Chris was very supportive, understanding, patient, he has extensive market knowledge which he was able to pass onto me. On day one he encouraged me to get on the phone straight away and created a more of a on the job training program, instead of a classroom type induction, this allowed me to build confidence straight away. I joined his Accounting and Finance team with very little knowledge of everything to do with Accounting, he took the time to go through all roles and broke them down into easy to understand chunk, often spending hours going what each job role would require to help me source for the best type of candidates. Chris also helped me in creating presentations and business proposals for my probation meetings. Once I got to grips with the day to day role of recruitment, he would shadow my interviews and client visits to provide me with constructive feedback, allowing me to address both strengths and weaknesses. He really made a difference to my training at Hays as he made each activity and each step entertaining and personal to my needs and strengths, together we made my first permeant fee within 3 weeks of joining, this was down to Chris creating a 'on the job' training program for me instead of a sit down tick box exercise. I would highly recommend him as I have never enjoyed training as much as I did with Chris Goulding!! ”

“Chris has build up a fantastic knowledge of what it takes to be successful in recruitment. His main strength is delivering for clients and candidates across all forms of recruitment and building teams that are great at achieving the same. He is driven, hardworking and professional with great desire to deliver great customer service. Chris will be an asset to any organisation. ”

“Chris spoke at and organised some events for the CICM in S Wales. He's a really personable guy and delivers great seminars. Sadly he's moved away from S Wales and ill miss seeing him ”
