In a challenging market

In a challenging market, CV Library is doing as well as its competitors that we also use regarding applications and search results. Where CV Library beats its competitors is in the customer services provided, the regular calls to check in and always the offer help.

This has always happened since I have been using the job boards as a recruiter (around 10 years).

Nick is a fantastic customer service executive

Nick is a fantastic customer service executive. He has shown the upmost professionalism, patience and experience when showing us how to navigate CV Library. He has supported me and my colleague with understanding how to create watchdogs, find CVs and just general CV Library information. We can't thank Nick enough for his support throughout and it is refreshing to use a service where the advisor checks in. Keep being brilliant Nick!

Review

The training session was well structured, clear, and tailored to my role as a recruiter. Rather than just covering basic features, the training focused on practical, day to day usage, especially around refining searches, managing candidate pipelines, and making better use of watchdogs and saved searches. It felt very relevant and immediately applicable.

What stood out most was how knowledgeable and approachable Daisy was. Daisy took the time to answer my questions in detail and provided useful tips that I hadn’t come across on my own. The training felt personalised rather than generic, which made it far more valuable.

Mathew was very helpful

Mathew was very helpful, he kindly walked me through how to set up watchdogs and post job adverts that allow me to access good quality candidates based in my client locations. We also have an agreed catch up to review how I am getting along with the watchdogs and job adverts.
