Dear Conor, I just wanted to sincerely express my utmost gratitude for everything you have done for me. When you first took the time to look through my CV, you recognised that I was capable of applying for a higher-level role. Before meeting you, I would always apply for Social Worker positions that were just below senior level, and I often found myself feeling unhappy in those roles. I never really had the confidence to see myself as someone who could step into a Senior Social Worker position, let alone prepare properly for one. Since coming into contact with you, my confidence has grown tremendously. You encouraged me to believe in my abilities, pushed me to aim higher, and supported me through the process. I’m so happy to say that I applied for a Senior Social Worker role, attended the interview, and actually got the job! Thank you so much for your dedication, encouragement, guidance and confidence in me. Your interview preparation and prompts were absolutely amazing and made such a difference. Even when I didn’t succeed in previous interviews, you never gave up on me. You continued to encourage me, push me forward and remind me of what I was capable of. I genuinely appreciate the time and effort you invested in helping me get to this point. I also want to thank you for the constant updates and information you provide about what is happening within Social Work. The information you share is so valuable and helps us understand what is going on within the profession, consider our options and make informed decisions about our careers. I am incredibly grateful, and I’m so happy and proud of this achievement. Thank you, Conor, for believing in me even when I didn’t fully believe in myself. You have played such an important part in helping me take this next step in my career, and I will always be grateful for that. Thank you so, so much! ❤️

“Partnering with Pro Social Partners for their permanent recruitment support has been an incredibly rewarding experience. From the outset, they faced tough market conditions, government-mandated hiring targets, strict budgets, and strong competition from fast paced contract resource. Conor responded with sharp market insight and swift, effective delivery. He’s helped Oxfordshire County Council secure top-tier permanent talent across multiple roles, quickly fulfilling all requirements without compromising on quality. His proactive approach and consistency have made a real difference, strengthening their teams for long-term success. It’s been a pleasure to work with Conor on this journey, and I look forward to continuing this work together”

"I worked with Conor over several years when I was a head of service trying to find more permanent social workers. He always operated with integrity and a commitment to finding the right candidate for my service, not just simply a person to fill the chair. He sent over good quality candidates and was always quick to respond which resulted in a high rate of filling both social work and management posts in our Local Authority. I'd strongly recommend Conor to any Local Authority looking for support in finding more permanent staff."

Since Conor has founded Pro Social Partners, I have noticed a significant increase in CV submissions and scheduled interviews in our Children’s Social Care service. Not only is Conor a wonderful consultant to work with, but he is also dedicated to reducing the agency/locum spend in Local Authority Social Care services – which is a huge help to us and the service as a whole. I consider ourselves lucky that we have such a passionate consultant and agency on our books.
