You can manage tension if your clients are competing for the same job roles by maintaining undiluted professionalism and strict confidentiality. As you are well aware of the skills and strengths of each of your clients, you know whose chances are the best. This will help you in preserving calm and dealing with the aftermath of the selection process. But at the same time, you have to show complete impartiality by providing all your clients the same counsel, expertise and resources and guarding each one's privacy. After the outcome of the process, you will be in a position to mitigate the disappointment of those who were not able to make it and lead and guide them to explore further avenues and opportunities.

Tension is a state of mind. The mind works as a parachute when it is open. So, it is better to have an open mind while going for a decision rather than a narrow thought process. Communication is yet another powerful tool that needs to be used effectively for better reach. A firm message regarding the opportunities matching the capabilities needs to be conveyed to the clients. These two steps can help to keep the clients at bay rather than piling up the tension.

Darwin had a comment about this but basically just give encouragement, confidence to have a go and awareness that others might be a best fit just like they might be but often other uncontrollable selection processes play a part.... If all actors are good who'd get the part?
