"I found the support offered by Renovo and my coach to be extremely valuable. I had worked for my previous employer for 19 years and so the whole process of finding a new role was very alien for me. My coach helped me with bringing my CV into the 21st century and very quickly, I had a number of organizations and recruitment companies very interested in trying to set up interviews. I also found the online resource Workfriend to be extremely valuable and I picked up many tips about using LinkedIn and learning about the interview process and handling interview questions. It is a very good and user friendly resource."

“Over the past six months, working with my career coach has been an incredibly valuable experience. She has been an invaluable sounding board throughout this process, offering thoughtful insights and consistently helping me refine my approach to my career transition. She provided me with essential tools such as an updated CV, a well-crafted NED (Non-Executive Director) letter, and guidance on building a portfolio career. Each of these resources has been tailored to my unique strengths and aspirations, setting me up for the next stage of my professional journey. Moreover, her actionable advice has always been clear, practical, and easy to implement. My coach's expertise and support have significantly enhanced my confidence in taking my next career step, and I am grateful for the partnership.”

"At at time in my life when i experienced a lot of change and had many ideas and questions about the direction of my professional future, My coach was there every step of the way. She opened my eyes to opportunities, challenged gently the uncertainties I grappled with and was willing to move forward with me at my pace and with expert, experienced, 360 degree eyes. Every time our meeting ended she sent me invaluable information which gave me yet more ideas, pathways and opportunities. At every level my coach guided me and gave me resources that were of critical value. Her kind, gentle, supportive, expert, limitless support gave me my current happy pathway. I will always remember her and be grateful to her for her wisdom and support. I couldn't recommend Renovo more positively."

"I really valued the coaching part in structuring my search for new directions and exploring the trade-off between self-employed vs. company job. The support exceeded my expectations, my coach was very knowledgeable, and overall she was excellent. The areas of support I found most useful were; CV/ Applications, Changing Career, Identifying Transferable Skills, LinkedIn, Selling Yourself Effectively and Motivation and Confidence Building. I would recommend the service to others."

"I’m very happy with my experience with Renovo. My coach really helped me to work through my options and preferences and provided encouragement when things were going a little slowly. Very importantly she helped me bring my CV and job searching skills up to date. I found the 1:1 sessions most useful. I made the final two on two occasions so must have been doing something right! I have now secured a senior role with a global software company."

"My Coach supported me with career coaching advice following my redundancy and transitioning into a new executive role. She has a warm and welcoming style which enabled us to quickly form a good working relationship. She was keen to understand what I was hoping to achieve and provided tailored support and guidance specific to me. My coach had a good technique of exploration through asking a range of questions which enabled me to look beyond the immediate to my longer term aspirations. She also gave great advice on how to create a positive impression on my personal brand, and in making a strong impact in my new role. When you have a lot of employment experience, perhaps you don't think you would benefit from career coaching, but I can most assuredly recommend to others."

"My coach was extremely helpful and guided me with expert knowledge throughout. Every point of contact with her was both educational and worthwhile. She helped me with my CV and interview techniques which took the quality of both to another level. Also, her advice and training material provided in terms of setting up a LinkedIn account was extremely helpful. I’m very happy with my experience with Renovo and my coach was amazing."

"I found my Coach exceptional, very knowledgeable and experienced. I was made redundant and out of work for the first time in 20 years so it was a new experience for me with regards pulling together a CV and covering letter. She told me in our initial meetings what to expect for the next few months, how to ensure that I didn’t let the job hunting take over my time or get me down if I wasn't getting replies. Also how to ensure that I didn't just jump at the first jobs offered and that I gave myself 5 key criteria points of what any new jobs needed to fit in to make sure I got what I really wanted. The support exceeded my expectations."

"Without this support system, I most definitely would not have known what direction to be heading in regards to a career change. To be honest. I found every area of my meetings with my coach to be valuable - she did not only give advice, she actually listened. On the first meeting she had already figured what my ultimate goal was and broke it down in such a way, that everything I was planning was simplified in just half hour sessions. Deciding what to do and how to accomplish so much was debilitating but I now know what needs to be done, and I look forward to looking at a new career change."

"Overall, my Career Coach was excellent - I can not speak highly enough of her. I really enjoyed talking with her and I came away from each session feeling happier and more motivated. Having the opportunity to talk with someone outside of my immediate circle of friends, family and colleagues was very helpful and made me feel better about myself. My Coach was very informative and knowledgeable. She shared with me many simple methods to improve job application success rate and efficient job searching. I have taken onboard some learnings that will help me beyond my next appointment."

"I have enjoyed my experience working with Renovo - this is the first time I have used outplacement support and it has really helped me evaluate what I want in my next role and the type of work/life balance I want. Working with my Career Coach has been the highlight, he was happy to work at my speed and always available when I needed him, he was very encouraging without being pushy. He gave me great direction and feedback on my CV which has led to me finding a new role. I would recommend using Renovo if you find yourself in a career transition."

"I was lucky enough to have support from Renovo when I was recently made redundant. Having been in the same job for over 9 years I had no idea how to prepare myself to get back into the recruitment process. My coach was fantastic in helping me get my LinkedIn profile and CV up to date and posted in the right place and the job opportunities came flooding in. Within 2 weeks I had secured 2 job offers and had to decline 2 further interviews. I have no hesitation in recommending Renovo and the advice and support they provide."

"Working with Renovo has been a positive experience for me, and I appreciate the services that were provided to help me navigate this difficult time. Overall, my experience of the service has been excellent. Your guidance throughout the process has been invaluable, and I have gained a great deal of confidence as a result. I found the one-on-one coaching sessions really helpful. These sessions allowed me to discuss my career goals and aspirations in a safe and supportive environment, and you provided me with practical advice and strategies to help me achieve them. I now feel more equipped to navigate the job market and present myself in the best possible light to prospective employers."

"Workfriend is excellent - I like the fact it's so easy to use and provides helpful advice for each step in the process. The interview tips, 'Starting a New Role' and 'Starting a New Role Remotely' resources have been most useful and all the advice was instrumental in helping me secure the job I got."

"I've found the the Renovo Workfriend platform excellent - it seems to have resources to cover every possible career transition scenario. I have particularly found the videos on LinkedIn and the self-assessments useful."

"Renovo's Workfriend software is a great tool to explore psychometric testing, job searches, interview techniques and much more. I would definitely recommend their services."

"Workfriend has a wide variety of subject areas to help you find a new job. I found the different media types (online videos, tutorials, etc.) a good balance to make the most out of this. It gives you lots of information and encouragement and helps you with the confidence to find the job you want. I would recommend this service to anyone thinking of getting a new job."

"Workfriend has created the sense that I am back in control of my search and working through the exercises and various tools has proved invaluable. The CV/cover letter templates, working with recruiters, elevator pitch and simulated interview/ interview preparation have been the most helpful, and the job search tool is excellent as it means vacancies from so many different recruiters are in one place."

"Renovo has been an immense help and I have learned so many practical and useful tips that I will keep with me forever! It has been so beneficial to be able to have an open and honest conversation before my interviews to ensure I put myself across in the best possible way – this definitely helped me to secure the job, especially practising answering questions with my Coach the day before. When working in HR, it is easy to think that you know all there is to know about applying for jobs, but I would definitely say to any other HR people that there is so much to learn, and don’t underestimate what having this additional support can do for your confidence before and during an interview. The Workfriend system is also really helpful and is full of useful information sheets, videos and examples – I found the template for cover letters particularly useful."

"I am starting work at a new company soon. I am really happy with the help you have given me. The CV made a big difference, but more than that I think that you gave me confidence that I did not have and encouraged me to make the extra effort. When I first had contact with Renovo I felt quite cynical and believed that at 60 years old I would not get any reasonable job. How wrong I was. Thank you very much for all your help."
