We're Proud Of Our Reputation

It was fantastic working with V7 Recruitment!

Finding a new job in itself is an arduous and stressful task at the best of times, but the people at V7 especially Rob Carney made the whole experience actually enjoyable somehow! Rob showed patience and willing when I was being indecisive, as well as giving me an impartial ear for me to run my thoughts and concerns by, to which he alleviated with his calm and helpful demeanor, leading me to land exactly the job a wanted.

Thank you Rob and the whole team at v7!!

I always feel you should give credit where it is due & Claire has been absolutely amazing throughout!!

From the first phone call we had, I was able to put my full trust into her and she made what could have been a stressful time, an enjoyable journey and experience. Claire was always on hand to answer any questions, resolve any concerns and give her advice to make the whole process smooth whilst also being very relatable & down to earth.

Everything she did was done quickly and efficiently and the level of communication she provided was second to none. Even on days off, she was always available to provide help if needed. I cannot thank Claire enough – a true asset to V7! Excited to see where my new career takes me thanks to you!

Construction, Permanent

Having been searching for a suitable position for six months with constant interviews and promises (that is if they called me back), I was despondent and I was wary of Sam Mordant when he called me regarding a job vacancy.

I clearly had nothing to worry about as he was simply amazing; motivated, supportive, encouraging, reliable and genuinely interested in me as a person. I am now suited in a job which fits me perfectly and Sam is genuinely pleased for me. So glad he called me! Sam is highly recommended. Great service!

Utilities, Permanent

I had a fantastic experience working with Ciara during my job search. She was highly professional, and her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Ciara took the time to understand my career goals and was always responsive, offering valuable insights.

Thanks to her efforts, I found a role that perfectly matches my expectations. I highly recommended Ciara!
