Our Happy Clients

Don’t take our word for it, see what some of our past clients have said about working with The People Portfolio.

“Helen has been absolutely amazing at guiding me through the process of writing eloquent and persuasive job applications and interview preparation after years of being with the same employer. She spent time “really” looking at what the employer wanted, and then helped me to craft my applications and interview answers based on this. She is a natural and finds this easy, even though many of us really struggle would this.”

“Morna worked on recruitment of personnel into several key postions in the business and was a real pleasure to work with. She organised the necessary psychometric testing and assessments to suit our internal process and provided job suitability reports prior to first interview. Her attention to detail and real understanding of our requirements made a potentially time consuming and difficult job very simple and straightforward. I’d recommend Morna  unreservedly for this type of work. Thanks again!”

“Participating in this development programme gave me the opportunity, the space and the time to focus on myself as a professional. Through learning a variety of frameworks, concepts and tools, I have a better understanding of who I am and what I am capable of. As a result, I have felt confident and assertive when taking new opportunities that will allow me to develop my career in areas I previously felt I did not deserve or were out with my abilities. The programme also gave me the support to better understand how I could achieve my career ambitions, and I now feel assured that my goals are in reach.”

“It was a pleasure working with Morna and Helen from The People Portfolio and can recommend them wholeheartedly.

Working in partnership with The People Portfolio, we were able to successfully develop a menopause awareness project that within a year enabled us to be accredited as Menopause Friendly. We are very proud to be the first social care provider in Scotland to do so. Their professional approach and values matched ours and they fit seamlessly into our team, keeping our project on track and achieving our project milestones on time.”
