'I couldn't recommend Sophie's book more. As an inexperienced recruitment consultant over ten years ago, I leant on Sophie's guidance and advice shared in this book to develop the traits of a high-performing consultant. Fast forward to my role now as a business owner and I ensure that all of my temp team members receive a copy of Secrets to Running a Lucrative Temp Desk. Their enthusiasm for the book is as strong as mine was as a consultant! With solid tips, tricks and strategies on how to gain loyalty from your temp staff to how to develop business development strategies so that your clients will never leave you, this book is jam-packed with information and I highly recommend it to anyone working on a temporary desk!' Sinead Connolly, Co-Founder and Director, Lotus People 'When reading books like this I like to fold the corner of any pages that have helpful tips that will benefit me and my team in the future. I stopped this process after a third of the way through once realising I would end up with a book with every other page corner turned! The most impressive factor since implementing Sophie's book into our business has been the speed at which new recruiters have been able to convert their training into real-world results. A fantastic, concise and knowledgeable book which I recommend being used by recruitment companies around the world. It adds value and most importantly gives confidence to anyone working within the temporary recruitment market, whether they are fresh to the industry or have years of experience.' Rem Kingston, Director, Diamond and RemTech, United Kingdom 'I ended up buying a further two copies of Sophie's book to give to two new consultants in my team. It is being used as a great learning device, with the three of us reading certain chapters every few days and then sitting down collectively and discussing what we learnt and what we can implement. New staff through to experienced directors can learn from this book. I cannot recommend it highly enough.' Sebastian Leeder, Director, Construction, Gough Recruitment 'I found the book very inspirational, easy to read, understand and relate to. It felt like I was sitting in on a great training/seminar session! What a great read and so much to take on - so many logical steps and thinking about this industry. Sometimes you get so caught up in the everyday errands and administration of running a desk (among other underlying factors that keep you busy all day!) that you can forget to take a step back to think about the value-adding side of things ... Or maybe we are never really taught to always have that as a priority in our business practices? Sophie's perspective is truly recruitment consulting. And I love it.' Katerina Petrenko, Recruitment Coordinator, Rarekind: Recruitment and Human Resources Services 'Sophie Robertson's book Secrets to Running a Lucrative Temp Desk has been the staple diet of anyone who's commenced their career as a contract recruiter for Consultive. It's often referenced in placement celebrations, when solving a problem or when someone is crediting their learning on promotion. Thank you Sophie.' Phil Isard, Founder of Consultive and Co-Founder of Amica Talent 'Sophie Robertson is quite simply the Queen of Temp. Sophie's Secrets to Running a Lucrative Temp Desk simply works. Across our teams it is common to hear the effects of Sophie's book and Sophie's training, such as 'eat the frog', 'multiple temp locations', 'specificity', 'Service, service, service and the money will follow'. Whether you're a white-collar desk, a tech desk or a blue-collar desk - if you follow her rules you cannot fail.' James Purtell, Managing Director, Cox Purtell Staffing Services
