My Dad always said it’s the people around you and the connections you make that can make a difference in your life and it is through those connections that I was lucky enough to meet Howard. At a point in my career where I needed some guidance on getting from the back of the queue to the front and how to tackle the AI engines that all ATS systems seem to be using today, Howard was a breath of fresh air. Bringing to bear his 30 plus years of experience in recruiting and coaching he helped me craft a new CV that tells a story about who I am, what I have accomplished in my career, the outcomes those accomplishments have achieved and most importantly, where I want to go next. I would highly recommend working with Howard for any CV and Career Coaching needs you might have in future. Thank you Howard for having such a positive impact on my CV and on my outlook of what lies ahead.

When Howard first reached out to me, I was not actively looking or driven to consider a new position, but this didn’t deter his efforts. With the perfect level of tenacity, he continued to pursue me. We talked over a period of time and I eventually agreed to meet with him during one of his trips from London to San Francisco. The meeting went very well. We had an in-depth conversation about me and he had good answers to all of my questions. I was especially impressed with his knowledge of the company and market that he was representing. Howard’s clear vision absolutely intrigued me enough to take the next step which ended up being a meeting that he arranged for me with the CEO of the client company he represented. There were no surprises as Howard took the time and more than adequately helped to prep me prior to the meeting. I was provided with an offer the day after my meeting with the CEO and have now been with Multitaction for four months. As it turns out, the company and role are a perfect fit for me. This is my first experience with any sort of recruiter. Howard was persistent but professional, open & honest, very knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I absolutely recommend Howard and his team as a recruitment partner of choice. They are an amazing group willing to go the extra mile regardless of location or role. That was back in 2016 and Danny joined as an Account Director he is now the Chief Operating Officer at Multitaction.

I wanted 2025 to be a transformational year. I wanted to reach 2026 knowing that I had set my life and career on the right course for growth and joy. I knew that, somewhere inside, I have what it takes to achieve that – to work out what I want and how to make it happen – but I also knew that, elsewhere inside, are the limiting beliefs that strive without cease to keep me safe and unfulfilled.

Inviting unfamiliar help and support into the midst of vulnerability is never easy, but sometimes you just have to fling the door open and bring something – or someone – new inside.

Today, I feel that I am on the right course for growth and joy. There have been many contributing factors. Of them, there are two that stand out for the astonishing difference they have made. One is trialing a course of anxiety medication…

…the other is Howard Longstaff.

I was drawn to work with Howard because (a) he came highly recommended, and (b) he has decades of fiercely driven, international experience leading and supporting others in creating better work lives for themselves.

I have continued working with Howard – through the jolty ups and downs of feeling my way towards a better future – because of his noble character, warm generosity, keen insight, thoughtful guidance, and the impossible-to-ignore intensity of his belief in me and determination to help me help myself. I have enjoyed and drawn enormous value from our every interaction and feel permanently stronger and better prepared for the hard yards yet to come.

Where medication is helping to keep me from sliding backwards, Howard is helping to keep me moving forwards. I have enjoyed and drawn enormous value from our every interaction, and feel confident that, thanks in good part to his support, 2025 will be every bit the transformational year that I wanted it to be.
