“I am honored to recommend Dr. Juliet Whitaker of Mind Professionals as the finest recruiter I have ever worked with. I have worked with many recruiters both in the US and UK over the years and my experience with them has led me to conclude that I will not use any other recruiter except for Juliet. This is for too many reasons to list here, but the important ones are: The hallmark of Juliet's character is her honesty. This extends from those areas where we easily see it (in relationships and business transactions) to integrity of thought and action. She does not compromise her values, or those of her clients, for expediency or short-term gain. This is all the more impressive given the current difficult economic environment. Her exemplary professional manner – Juliet is one of the most pleasant persons you will ever meet or work with. She's forthright, but neither intimidates nor intrudes. She's open, friendly, and authentic--the Juliet you meet is the Juliet you get, without any surprises. Besides being a joy to work with, Juliet is a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and communicate the benefits. I have never worked with a recruiter who gives as much attention to personal detail as she does. She listens and thus knows her clients well – in my case, sometimes better than I knew myself! Her willingness to take on difficult projects and see them to successful completion despite many obstacles has earned my deep admiration. Juliet and Mind Professionals have my unqualified professional endorsement and my deep personal respect.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require further information. Thank you.” November 2, 2009

"I found the service of Mind Professionals very satisfying. I contacted them from New Zealand and within a day I was already in talks with Juliet Whitaker about a possible position. Within a week I already had a job! Juliet paid a lot of individual attention to my needs and was always available to answer any questions. Her informal communication style put me at ease and I had every confidence that I was in good hands. I found Mind Professionals very reliable and diligent in their work, they were always there for me to sort out any problems I had. As a result of the position I got through Mind Professionals, my professional career in the UK is well underway and climbing. I am very grateful to Mind Professionals, and especially to Juliet, for their wonderful work."

"From the initial moment I contacted Mind professionals I realised that their service was completely different from all the other agencies I had contacted previously. Dr Whitaker continually demonstrated this by putting you at the forefront and calling you back whilst making sure that your professional needs were met and that a suitable job was found for you. When Mind Professionals finds you the right job (in my case it took them less than two weeks), they make sure they prepare you for the interview and give you all the adequate support they can. Their communication style is excellent and flows either via e-mail or telephone and is vastly different from the majority of agencies that neither call you back, or are not sure who dealing with your case.

Mind professionals offers you a personal service that treats you as an individual and not a number whilst offering you the time and support that is required to find you jobs that suit your experience, qualifications and profession.
I strongly recommend Mind professionals above all other specialist professional agencies.

Mind professionals are definitely Forward Thinking People!

"I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for all the help I have been given, and also to highlight a few things about Mind Professionals as an agency.
Since my first contact with Mind Professionals, I have been positively surprised in how proactively they worked to meet my needs. They always showed the knowledge and the confidence to link my motivation with my skills and experience.

All the consultants at Mind Professionals are always friendly and approachable, providing me with an ongoing quality of service that ensures excellence.

The outstanding efficiency and competence is also related to their payment method, which is very accurate and on time, and also to their ongoing support. There is always someone to ensure that my needs are being met.
Once again, many thanks for your kindness."

I recently relocated to the United Kingdom and had the fortune of having Juliet Whitaker from Mind Professionals as a placement agent. I found her thoroughly professional and efficient and as having a great sense of care and willingness to listen to my needs and concerns. She was always willing to engage with me at an honest and respectful level and I was particularly impressed with her connection to me as a human being and not only as another CV/candidate to be placed. She gave reflective and careful thought to job possibilities with due consideration to my previous training and experience. Juliet managed to make the transition into a foreign job market relatively painless and in good speed. I had some dealings with other agencies, but without hesitation would recommend Juliet above any of them!

“Since joining Mind Professionals I have been impressed with the organisation's efficacy and quality of service. From the outset I have experienced a refreshingly professional approach characterised by ease of communication and evident attention to detail. Dr Whitakers' ability and willingness to deal with all aspects of my placement has left me fully supported to attend to my clinical duties. I am reassured that all contractual details are taken care of.

Mind Professionals staff have demonstrated a knowledge and understanding both of the discipline of Clinical Psychology and of my needs as a clinician within it. They have also provided support for my career path and continuing professional development.

I am impressed that Government Service and charitable organisations appear to have established working relationships with Mind Professionals. In my case, the quality of alliance between agency and client has been reflected to me by my colleagues in terms of their perceived value of my clinical work.

I wish Mind Professionals every success and support the agency with my full recommendation.

“Juliet Whitaker provided an absolutely excellent service. From the first point of contact she tried her best to understand my needs and job goals. Then, throughout the recruitment process she went over and above that which I expected by providing me with helpful tips, wisdom and conversation which saw me through to the point of receiving a job offer! I would recommend Mind Professionals to any Psychologist who has the kind of job they would like in mind and doesn't want to be pressurised into taking a job that is not right for them!
Emma Trenier,
Occupational Psychologist

"Relocating to Manchester from London after clinical training was an exciting transition, but also one filled with slight trepidation. Shortly after emailing my CV to Mind Professionals I received an encouraging phone call from Dr. Juliet Whitaker. She enquired about my skills, listened to my needs and took on board the direction that I was planning for my career. Taking a personal approach, offering valued support and encouragement from interview preparation to the first stages of employment, Mind Professionals went beyond my expectations. Having worked in the NHS herself clearly sets Mind Professionals ahead of other recruitment agencies. I will definitely recommend this agency to other colleagues and if the opportunity were to arise again Mind Professionals would unquestionably be my first point of call."
