Effective, targeted advertising ensures that we receive complete coverage, giving access to candidates who may be between opportunities and actively seeking a new position, as well as candidates with cross-transferable skills.

We have extensive experience in the effective use of advertising selection, handling the complete process from copywriting, design and media selection through to response handling and successful appointment.

There are various options for advertising purposes including broadsheets, trade publications and online advertising. Our consultants will provide expert advice and guidance on the most cost-effective options for your position.

    Non-Executive Directors (Audit Committee Chair) Oxford Cannabinoid Technologies’ aim is to become a global leader in the development of safe and effective prescription medicines to treat serious and life-threatening human diseases and conditions. Having recruited the current CEO, John Lucas and CSO, Valentino Parravicini Novo was asked to find two NEDs, including the Audit Committee Chair, in preparation for an IPO on the Standard London Market in May 2021. Not only were we tasked with finding experienced candidates, we were given only a couple of weeks to complete this vital recruitment. The roles were advertised anonymously and our extensive network of contacts was contacted to identify suitable and interested candidates to make up an initial shortlist of candidates. The first two candidates shortlisted to meet the Chairman were appointed and played an important role in preparing the business for its over-subscribed flotation on May 21st. As always, it has been a delight working with you. You are my first port of call whenever we need serious talent! John Lucas CEO.

     “I was engaged in a successful recruitment process to become a Sales & Marketing Director for a division of one of the largest global facilities management companies. The process was handled by Novo superbly throughout and it was clear that Novo was managing this in a highly pro-active manner liaising between both client and candidate regularly. When delays occurred in the process, they always provided open and honest dialogue. Above all, Novo was excellent at building rapport and had a genuinely warm personality in both face to face and phone conversations. A great service!” Sales & Marketing Director
