    We engaged Novo Executive Search and Selection to work on one senior recruitment assignment for Wilo (UK), a key and pivotal role; Sales Director for Building Services. Ryan and his team delivered a high standard of service. Professional, thorough and great communicators, Novo Executive Search and Selection listened to our brief and ensured that their focus was on providing a candidate, who closely matched our needs and wants. It was evident throughout my dealings with Novo, that they had put a high level of effort in and shown their focus above and beyond with their hard work. I would have no hesitation in recommending Novo Executive Search and Selection, they are resilient, true grafters and in summary, they earnt their fee. We will be using the consultancy again.

  • Client Testimonials

     “Following a highly successful trial with Sainsbury Catalina was asked to roll out a multi-million pound loyalty solution and Novo was retained to find key personnel to manage this contract and relationship. They followed a structured and detailed approach which led the presentation of a number of high calibre shortlists from which a Business Unit Director and Account Director were selected. At this point, there were several delays in agreeing the final details of the contract and with Novo’s help we were able to retain the interest of the selected candidates until we were able to bring them on board. Throughout, all communication was clear, their work transparent and our expectations were managed well at each stage through to final engagement. “Novo has been retained again to find additional people and of the original candidates, one has gone on to become the UK MD while the other is being considered for an international business development role. “Through Novo’s commitment and hard work, we have been able to retain and build the key account whilst strengthening the management team in Europe. The recruitment process exceeded our expectations and has been a huge success. We did not hesitate to use Novo’s services in the future.” Catalina Marketing

    “This is the fifth senior manager recruitment undertaken by Novo on behalf of EPRL in a relatively short space of time as we expand our management capabilities. Each time the process has been smooth and in each case the eventual successful candidate has hit the ground running and made a positive impact on the business. The European Project Manager role was a difficult one to fulfil but again Novo’s skill and process have helped to find the right candidate.” CEO, EPRL

    “CACI has asked Novo to help us with a number of senior level appointments. Each role required individuals with very specific skills and experience and we felt that we would be unable to fill the positions using alternative methods such as advertising. We have been consistently pleased with the work Novo has done on our behalf. They provide a thorough and professional service at all stages of the recruitment process, from creating the job specification through to the final discussions with the selected candidate. They communicate regularly and take the time to really understand our business and the specific requirements for each role.  Novo has always been able to fulfil the briefs we have given them and we have been impressed by the candidates put forward for interview. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to other businesses.”   Vice-President Consumer Marketing, CACI
