Empowering People

12/01/2023

It’s not just about a new job

The best time to discuss your values and career options is when you are happily employed.

Perhaps you are looking to progress in your current organisation, benchmark your position in the market or maybe you are looking to map out your career path in a more socially responsible, collaborative, empowering team. Whatever your question; we are here to help you define your values and the lifestyle that you want and then to support you to achieve.

We can pass on the lessons learnt from thousands of people we have met over the years.

Reaching out to CTC is free and confidential.

Career Mentor

Free and confidential career discussion around what drives; energises and de-energises you, your values, your lifestyle and family aspirations, your appetite for travel and career progression. Life is a balance and it is important to regularly ensure you are on the right path to achieve the right balance. The more you understand what you want from life and the more you discuss and communicate this the more likely you are to achieve it.

We are here to help empower you to manage your manager and to find the right environment for you and your family. Together we are more connected.

Market Information

It’s not about a new job but rather a friendly voice on the phone or a relaxing coffee or drink. We are here to answer any questions you might have… what are companies doing for the environment? which companies are shortlisted to win a project? what should your salary be? Or perhaps a discussion on industry trends & developments for the future. We love meeting people and sharing ideas.

Fullfill your potential

“I know where I want to work and have lots of friends working there, why do I need CTC?”

Our business model is based on relationships with company decision-makers, we can go straight to them to discuss your situation. This gives you the following benefits:

More control: If you apply to a company you are effectively saying you want to work there. Our approach is to highlight that you are really happy where you are, that you aren’t actively looking but that you might be interested in making contact in the future to understand what your career might look like with them. If you start on these terms and decide to stay where you are then you aren’t letting anyone down.
More honest feedback: We are here to help you learn and develop, employers give us the “real” feedback.
More opportunities: Have you considered every potential opportunity to suit your aspirations or just settled on somewhere better than your current role?
Less hassle: We chase up meetings, feedback, negotiate offers, and coordinate the process.
Experienced “sounding board”: discuss how various opportunities suit your values, ethics and objectives.

This is a free and totally confidential service. We are here to support your best interests at all times.

I have just completed my first week with the amazing team at... I wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you for recommending me and for your involvement in the process.

Event Coordinator

"Chris has assisted me greatly since the inception of Chris Tan Consulting, both in sourcing quality candidates and personally in my career. On each occasion Chris has taken care to get to know the job seeker and gain an understanding of their needs rather than to simply fill positions. He has demonstrated a wealth of experience and, importantly, understanding, time and again.

Associate Structural Engineer

"I recommend CTC consulting for anyone interested in developing their career. Chris Tan was very helpful in discussing possible options which were specific to my area and career goals. I was consistently updated and kept in the loop with current and future opportunities for myself. Chris knew what I was looking for regarding job opportunities. I will definitely be using CTC Consulting in the future for further employment."

Project Manager

"I just wanted to send you an appreciation email for one of the wonderful people that work for you: Chloe Bonilla.
She is a legend, just amazing! Very professional efficient, knowledgeable and just so incredibly helpful and pleasant to work with. And she has great people skills and personality. My manager recommended me to contact her and that is almost unheard of. Recruiters don't always have the best reputation and even though I had come to them through (another agent) he told me to go with CTC…. and boy was he right.
Within 24hr of meeting with her she set me up with 2 interviews. And not only that, she knew exactly who to send me to. She is great at matching people and I felt that everybody that she sent me to were just my type of people. This is much more than any of the other recruiters that I've had worked with before. Plus, she also understands the industry and the work that I do. I am so pleased with everything.
Anyways I just wanted to let you know how happy I've been with CTC and Chloe and have already been recommending her and CTC to former coworkers and basically everybody that I know."

BIM Manager

"I can wholeheartedly state that CTC is the most pre-active and hard-working recruitment consultancy I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They are extremely well networked and achieved more in terms of leads into suitable posts than any other consultancy I contacted. What I found refreshing is that they do not pressure you into making a choice – preferring you to take the right position, not the first. I fully recommend their services to any other engineers migrating from the UK."

Project Manager

"Chris and his team offer professional services that include honest appraisals of candidate suitability and capability, along with a long term relationship based approach to supporting our recruitment needs."

Manager, multi disciplinary consultancy

"…thank you for your support over the last month and everything you did for us.
I wanted to say that the service you (Chloe) and Chris provided and the genuine approach was very much appreciated. Having only met you both for the first time a month ago, it’s fair to say that we’ll certainly be back in touch in the future to engage your services when we’re ready for our next hire. I’m sure this is just the beginning of a long professional relationship."
