S.E. regarding his experience with Divisional Director, Tristan Heywood and Senior Recruitment Consultant, Arran Campbell
“I am beyond thrilled that Tristan sought me out and persevered with the interview process, as I was not at all a warm lead for him!!
Aside from competing with an internal promotion during my best year at Gartner and being approached by Google (my dream company), Tristan did an excellent job of connecting me to the right people within CVI that would help overcome any concerns/questions I had, prove what an exceptional organisation it was, and why I'd be a great fit.
I was also disinterested in working for a small company , so he really had the odds stacked against him...
Having worked in recruitment and liaised with recruiters many times over the years, I've not met anyone who knows their client as intimately as Tristan knows and promotes CVI - it was as if he worked there himself.
I am extremely grateful and VERY happy with my decision to join the CVI team, and Tristan is entirely responsible for this.”
