     I have enjoyed working with Novo since they started up and it is a relationship I am happy to continue. Novo scores very strongly acting as the virtual face for my Company – I have real confidence in their ability to represent us and judging by the feedback from candidates they do this very well. I also appreciate Novo’s honesty – they manage our expectations well and push us hard for support when they need which enhances the sense of relationship in our dealings. HR Director, Buro Happold

  • Client Testimonials

    “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
