  • 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
