Unlock Your Full Potential with Bold New Recruitment

Graduate | Returner | Career Change

We specialise in helping individuals present the very best of themselves. Whether you are a graduate, returning to work or navigating a career change, our approach is personal, practical and effective.

From crafting standout CVs/cover letters and optimising LinkedIn, to mastering your USP and interview technique, we provide tailored support that ensures you are the best version of yourself whether on paper or in person.

Lost in the Job Search?

We know the job search process can feel overwhelming and demoralising. Interviews can be daunting, especially when faced with standard questions:

Many exceptional candidates get overlooked simply because they struggle with confidence, nerves, or presenting themselves effectively. That’s where we come in. Once you’ve secured an interview, we’ll work with you to ensure you present yourself as the best version of yourself on the day.

Job Search: Are You Taking This Seriously?

Finding or changing a career is a job in itself, and success requires discipline, organisation, and a strategy.

  • Are you making the most of every opportunity?

  • Do you have a structured plan? A to-do list?

  • Are you approaching the process strategically?

We help you stay on track with a focused, proactive routine that builds momentum and boosts confidence.

CV and Cover Letter: First Impressions Matter

You have mere seconds to impress. We help you make those seconds count with CVs and cover letters that are clear, relevant, and compelling.

  • Are you thinking like an employer?

  • Can your CV be read in 7 seconds?

  • Are you focusing on the right detail.

  • Is the narrative too long, wordy or missing the point?

  • Are you using generalisations rather than detail and fact?

  • Are you optimising your headline, summary and keywords to boost your visibility?

A well-crafted CV or cover letter isn’t just a list of past jobs, it’s a powerful narrative that showcases your skills and potential without going into the realms of literary fantasy, fluff and generalisations. We’ll help you create a compelling CV and cover letter that stands out and can be easily adapted for different applications.

LinkedIn: Are You Using It to Your Advantage?

Your LinkedIn profile is often the first place recruiters and hiring managers will look. It is not a digital CV, it is your professional shop window. Most recruiters check it before they read your CV.

A professional, well-structured profile is essential, not just to showcase your experience but to actively attract opportunities. We’ll show you how to optimise your profile and make LinkedIn work for you.

  • Is your LinkedIn an afterthought?

  • Do you understand why LinkedIn matters?

  • Do you have hooks so headhunters can find you easily?

  • Are you using your profile and media to showcase and improve your visibility?

  • Are you making connections in the right way?

We teach you to think like an employer and why this matters so much.

Interview Coaching: Practice Makes Perfect

Confidence comes with preparation.

  • How do you feel when asked the following:

    • Tell me about yourself? What are you up to?

    • What is your greatest weakness?

    • What can you bring to this team?

    • Why do you want to work here?

    • Why should we employ you… and so on.

All hideous, but easily conquered with practice.

We offer interview practice sessions both in person and online, helping you refine your answers, improve your delivery, and feel ready to tackle any interview with the knowledge that you can make a good impression.

  • Louis B. - Graduate

    "Having just left university I did not have much experience and knowhow with job applications and Katherine at Bold New Recruitment was incredibly useful across all stages. She really helped optimise my CV, bringing out the key points from my work experiences and wording which a recruiter would look for. Then once I got some interviews, we spent a good amount of time going through interview technique and practising mock interviews which was great for my preparation. Key for me was that Katherine really helped me believe in my abilities so that I could go into interviews with confidence, ultimately leading to several successful job offers."
