Ricardo Cloete Testimonial

Tate: What part of my services has been most helpful to you in getting hired?

Ricardo: Like I told you earlier there’s not supposed to be one specific thing that stood out – the whole service was excellent. It prepared me a lot: from the CV, the interview, mock interviews we had, the picture profile… Even though I think the picture profile is the one that actually got everyone’s attention. So, maybe, that one.
But it helped me a lot. Especially the mock interviews: to put me at ease, to see what I can expect… Look, I can’t maybe stress it enough, but it really put me at ease. Because normally I’m the one interviewing people, but I haven’t been on the other side of the table for a long time. And it really helped me, and calmed me down, and kept me focused.

What stands out about Ricardo is his impressive track record in turning around and managing change in various projects.

He has successfully revived numerous multi-million dollar civil works projects that seemed doomed, even when the employing company had lost hope. His exceptional talent lies in his ability to take on diverse projects, identify challenges, and motivate individuals who might be difficult to inspire at that stage. Clearly, the skills needed to salvage a failing project and lead it to success are grittier than simply devising a solid plan from the start and executing it to completion.

In our interview after Ricardo secured his job, what stands out is his readiness to question my suggestion that he explore alternative methods and determine for himself which system is most effective.

In the end, he expressed that my system provided him with the most feedback and yielded the best results. Hearing this from someone of his caliber means a lot to me.

Today Ricardo is employed by a lucky civil construction company in the North Island at a seaside city. I trust that all parties are enjoying a better quality of life and productivity off through Ricardo’s employment contract.
