    “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
