Excellent Product and Service, David Payne deserves a promotion.

I approached CV library as a recruiter to help with a campaign I was running. I dealt with David Payne throughout the process and I have to say I was very impressed by both the professionalism and the level of support offered but David and CV Library. Not pushy in the slightest, took the time to understand my needs, didn't upsell me on things I did not need and supported me throughout a trial period with them. If you are looking to recruit for specific roles, I would highly recommend CV library, easy to use searches, watchdogs and a support team that really cares that you are getting your monies worth. Pricing is way more reasonable than their competition too. We are not including this in our long term operation.
