Candidate Experience

“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
