Click provides an excellent service tailored to the needs of the organisation. I have been really impressed by the quality of consultants provided by Click to provide targeted support. They have been very knowledgeable, adaptable and flexible around the needs of our organisation. They are able to engage staff and teams in a non-threatening manner to drive improvements. I would therefore unreservedly recommend Click to any other college seeking similar support and services.
It has been really great working the Click associate and she has been a real asset. Especially as there was a lot to sort out and she has really got stuck in and ran with it straightaway.
Click have provided the college with two well experienced and highly competent interim managers to assist with our medium term capacity issues. We found the service to be of the utmost quality, dependable, consistent and very good value for money. We were especially impressed with the unfailing support given throughout the duration of the posts with Kate’s visits to both the interims and college staff ensuring a smooth and effective service on all sides. We would certainly recommend the services of Click.
The team at Click are always very responsive and keen to determine your exact requirements so that they can quickly start to identify the most appropriate person for your role. It helps immensely that the Click team are all highly experienced FE professionals in their own right, so they really understand what you are trying to achieve. The interims that I have worked with have all been very experienced, very professional and able to hit the ground running – exactly what you need from an interim manager. Once the interim is in post, Click stay in touch to make sure that you are achieving the outcomes intended from the appointment. Crucially, the majority of the Click interims are not looking to work in a temporary role until they find a permanent post; they make their living from interim work. This means that they can very quickly adapt to new projects, and understand the subtle differences between being an interim manager and working in a permanent position. Click interims really do add value to your organisation.
The College used Click last year for interim staff to cover our Management Information Services Manager post at very short notice and during the start of term, our busiest time of year. This also happened also to coincide with an external audit. We found Click very responsive, putting forward a number of impressive CVs which covered a range of specialisms and software. Telephone interviews enabled rapid shortlisting and appointment allowing us to overcome the immediate demands and ensuring we had capacity until such time we could appoint externally. The College rarely uses interim staff but this time was essential. Click not only appreciated our situation but responded accordingly with timely efficiency and professionalism and would be our first port of call under similar circumstances.
Click Associates were great to work with; they really got us out of a sticky spot at short notice. They worked with speed without sacrificing quality and were clear in their communication throughout ensuring that they had a strong understanding of the individual we were looking for to ensure good fit for the role and our team. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again!
Oxford and Cherwell Valley College has used Click for a range of interim management posts and other support services. The service Click provided was highly professional, efficient and flexible. In a very short period of time they provided us with outstanding members of staff who fitted into the culture and values of our organisation immediately. They worked tirelessly to ensure services to our students were outstanding. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
We have been working with Click for over 5 years now and have always secured a highly responsive and fast paced turnaround with high quality interims well suited to our culture and business requirements. Click definitely go the extra mile in understanding our role descriptions, delivering a bespoke solution and are diligent and conscientious in monitoring the performance of interims. I would highly recommend their services.
Steve is brilliant, he has been really instrumental in enabling our service to improve use of the Pro Suite and has provided support and training for managers in relation to handling data and data analysis, running reports and really developing our use of destination data. He’s also worked with our IT department to create live data links and a new online enrolment system.

The support from the Click team prior to and during my assignment in the Middle East was fantastic. Working with the team gave me a seamless move from supporting a college in the UK, to going out to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Whilst away, contact with the team was regular and extremely supportive, not just about the role but about living and working in the Middle East. This support makes any assignment with Click a great one and a pleasure to work as an associate.

It has been a pleasure working with Click as an Associate over the last six years. Click is a company that brings professionalism, enthusiasm and energy to each and every challenge that comes its way. The team provide steadfast direction in a collaborative way always keeping the end goal in sight. Unsurprisingly, they have become one of the best leaders in the field due to their years of experience and their proven track record supporting colleges in an ever changing climate. I look forward to working with them for many years to come.
Annette is lovely and the upmost professional I know in Education with extensive experience. There are many agencies out there, but Click really look after their associates.

I have found Click to be the best agency to do business with. You can enter a placement knowing you are in good hands and that your needs will be considered alongside those of the organisation. All the staff working for Click are extremely supportive and their loyalty to you and their business is evident in the communication and contact. I am sure that their contribution to the FE sector is recognised as one of the most valuable and significant.

I was recommended to work for Click by some of my peers. They said they were the best managing agency to work for. They were correct in their assertion. From the moment I was interviewed I realised this was a company that not only had a drive and passion for further education but also a professional attitude towards their consultants. Over the last few years I’ve had a number of interesting and challenging opportunities which I have in enjoyed. I feel valued and appreciated and I hope to work for Click for many years to come.

I wanted to thank you for your brilliant support with everything and your always helpful advice and guidance over the last few years, it’s been a real pleasure working as an associate for Click. And it goes without saying I’ll be coming straight to you when I need anyone for interim work!
From my very first experiences with Click, I felt like part of a very close family. Always offered relevant assignments to my skill set, always supported throughout my assignment with visits and phone calls and very much appreciated and valued. Professional to the end and maintaining the highest of standards, working on behalf of Click for my first step into the world of FE consultancy/interim management, certainly prepared me well for a successful career in this field. I also found Click to be the most appreciative and generous employer of all the agencies I worked for.
