Testimonials

I have worked with CVUK for a number of years and am consistently impressed with their professionalism, market knowledge and most importantly with the high calibre of the applicants that they provide us with. Repeatedly these individuals hit the mark in terms of experience, professionalism and French Connection brand/culture fit.

Simon Donoghue – Managing Director

Working with CVUK was an absolute game-changer. We needed a skilled garment technologist to bring our vision to life, and they not only understood our needs but exceeded all expectations. Their industry knowledge, network, and commitment to finding the perfect fit for our team were truly impressive. If you’re looking for an agency that delivers results with a personal touch, I couldn’t recommend CVUK highly enough!

Dex Moore – Talent Acquisition Manager

CVUK understood the brand, the brief, and our specific requirements from the very first interaction. They have been an incredible support, particularly in sourcing our Senior Performance Marketing Manager based at our Brighton HQ. They were a pleasure to work with, acting quickly and keeping us updated with consistent communication.

As the Head of People and Talent, ensuring an exceptional candidate experience throughout all stages of the employee lifecycle is a key priority for me. Setting that expectation from the very first interaction is fundamental. The team partnered closely with me to ensure we were fully aligned, and their dedication to maintaining our high standards for employee experience was truly exceptional. Communication throughout the process was outstanding.

CVUK successfully sourced an excellent candidate who was thoroughly prepared for each interview, well-informed about the opportunity, and has proven to be an ideal fit for our business.

Niall Cobban – Head of People & Talent

CVUK has consistently delivered excellent candidates to the TPRG Group, sourcing talent that not only meets the technical requirements of any role, but who are also a strong cultural fit with our values and behaviours. They are great to work with, incredibly professional, but fun! As a result we have built a successful long term partnership that I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending.

Laura Keane – Group People Director

I have worked with CVUK for over 15 years, across various roles and businesses, and have no intention of stopping. The entire team are always kind and engaged, nothing is ever too difficult or unreasonable (even when I know it is a demanding brief with little flexibility), they feel like an extension of our HR function rather than a supplier, everyone genuinely cares about our business and the roles that they are filling.

I have met some very talented and professional individuals as a result of the candidates that they have introduced to me, placing too many roles to count, many of whom have grown from entry level to heads of function. I have always found CVUK to be great communicators, regularly giving us astute and valuable insight into our requests, the business perception, and the general market, they are experts, who find other experts.

I receive a timely, and well curated shortlist of candidates, who are always worth the meeting, I never feel that they have missed the brief or wasted my time. Candidates always speak incredibly highly of their experience with CVUK and on a personal level, I always recommend them as the place to go when people ask for recommendations, either as a candidate or as a business looking for a new partnership. If you work with CVUK you will be in very safe hands.

Hatti Grange – HR Director

I am delighted to express my appreciation for the exceptional service CVUK provided in assisting us with our recruitment needs. From the outset, their team demonstrated an impressive understanding of our requirements and the specific skills needed for our organization.

The candidates presented to us were highly qualified and aligned perfectly with our company culture and values. The CVUK team was thorough, professional, and proactive throughout the entire recruitment process, ensuring a seamless experience for us.

Thanks to CVUK’s expertise and dedication, we have successfully onboarded new personnel who have already begun making significant contributions to our team. Their strategic approach to talent acquisition has proven invaluable, and we are confident in recommending CVUK to any organization seeking top-tier recruitment solutions.

Matthew Purt – Founder & Group COO

The team at CVUK understood the brand, the brief, and our specific requirements from our first meeting! They acted quickly and kept us in the loop the whole time. It took all the admin out of the search and gave us a final successful candidate who was well briefed motivated and an excellent fit to our business!

Catriona Jones – Sales & Education Director

CVUK has been partners with us for several years. We highly value the partnership approach – they have invested time and energy outside of and in addition to any specific recruitment campaigns, to get to know us, and understand our business and our challenges. They have a deep understanding of our markets, our culture, and therefore our needs, and the team has produced high quality candidates for hire. Communication is excellent and comes with the challenge of a critical friend which has helped us see a different perspective, learn, and grow.

Kate Box – People & Culture Director

We’ve had a great experience with CVUK. They truly understand the industry and took the time to get to know our company culture. Their support made the hiring process smooth and effective.

Natalie Crawford – Head of Trade & Logistics

CVUK have filled a number of roles at Indochine. The process is transparent and thorough. CVUK’s communication throughout made the whole experience a breeze and resulted in a high calibre of candidates. CVUK are my ‘go-to’ for recruitment!

Claire Marsh – Head of Licensing

CVUK placed me in my current role as Managing Director at Gandys, so I’ve experienced them first hand as a candidate. Since then, I’ve also worked with CVUK as a client, most recently to appoint a key member of our buying team. On both sides of the recruitment process they have been consistently thoughtful, responsive, and honest. They take the time to understand not just the brief, but the culture, pace and direction of the business – the calibre of candidates put forward reflects that.

Having also worked with CVUK earlier in my career, I can confidently say that their deep industry knowledge, personal approach and integrity remain at the core of what they do. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the CVUK team to any brand looking for a trusted recruitment partner in the fashion and lifestyle space.

Natalie Nelson – Managing Director

CVUK cuts efficiently through the noise and ego to deliver quality candidates who hit the brief on budget, whilst providing enough variety to make the right match immediately clear. CVUK area highly valuable resource, easy to build a great relationship with and have delivered every time I have asked them to.

Spencer Rley – Director Product Design
