You place talent. I help them perform.
Give your successfully placed candidates access to a transformational performance coaching session, designed to help them approach their new role with greater clarity, confidence and consistency.
No cost to your agency. No cost to your client. No obligation for the candidate.
A great placement deserves a great start.
Securing the right role is only the beginning. What happens in the first weeks and months often determines:
- 01How quickly they establish credibility
- 02Their relationships with key stakeholders
- 03Their confidence in decision-making
- 04Clarity around priorities
- 05Their ability to handle increased expectations
- 06Ultimately, how successfully they transition into the role
Help your candidates turn a successful placement into a successful transition.
Three steps. No cost. No complexity.
A straightforward handover from placement to performance: you stay in control of the relationship throughout.
You place talent
Your candidate successfully secures their new role.
I coach them
You offer them a complimentary Placed to Perform™ coaching session as an additional candidate benefit, tailored entirely to their circumstances, challenges and ambitions.
They decide what's next
The complimentary session stands completely on its own. If they'd like to continue, they engage me independently at a preferred partner rate.
Nothing to fund. Nothing to manage. Nothing to worry about.
Agency Cost
No charge to your firm for offering the benefit.
Client Cost
The hiring organisation doesn't need to fund it either.
No Obligation
Candidates are free to stop after their complimentary session.
Confidential
What's discussed in coaching stays between coach and candidate.
There are no referral commissions and no hidden commercial arrangements with your agency.
The first 90 days come with a different set of challenges.
Every session is tailored to the individual, not a fixed programme. Common areas include:
- Overcoming imposter feelings
- Communicating confidently at a senior level
- Handling pressure and uncertainty
- Building sustainable performance habits
- Maintaining energy and resilience
- Stepping into a new professional identity
More than a placement.
Differentiate your candidate experience
Offer something genuinely valuable beyond the transactional recruitment process.
Extend the relationship beyond placement
Create another positive touchpoint after the candidate begins their role.
Support successful transitions
Give senior candidates dedicated time to think through how they want to approach their new position.
Strengthen your client proposition
Demonstrate that your interest extends beyond simply filling the vacancy.
Add value without adding cost
The service requires no additional L&D or candidate-care budget on your side.
