“I would say that my experience with Novo was very
positive. From first contact where the role and company
was clearly explained and illustrated, through the
interview with me, to ensure that the best information was
given to the recruiting company, to my final appointment it
was slick and professional. Novo gave the feeling of being
there for any questions, but with discreet follow up did not
feel pressuring.”

“I was very impressed by the whole experience. Novo had
a good understanding of the post on offer and what was
required and had obviously taken the time to match this
to my skill set. They kept in close contact throughout and
assisted in facilitating contract negotiation, making the
whole process painless for me as a candidate. Couldn’t
ask for anything more.”
Greg Fullarton
Operations Director
“I was engaged in a successful recruitment process to
become a Sales & Marketing Director for a division of one
of the largest global facilities management companies.
The process was handled by Novo superbly throughout
and it was clear that Novo was managing this in a highly
pro-active manner liaising between both client and
candidate regularly. When delays occurred in the process,
they always provided open and honest dialogue. Above
all, Novo was excellent at building rapport and had a
genuinely warm personality in both face to face and phone
conversations. A great service!”
Nick Revell
Sales & Marketing Director
“I have received outstanding service throughout. Novo
clearly work closely together as a team and their clients.
Novo was instrumental in finding me my ideal role and
helped me secure that role every step of the way, offering
good advice and encouragement from the outset.
More importantly, Novo have altered my negative
perception of the recruitment industry and I’d highly
recommend them to anyone.”
