Lauren has been one of the best…
Lauren has been one of the best recruiters I have ever had. She was very helpful with my journey from redundancy to finding my way back into the role I love. Even when there was nothing available she always kept in contact (out of hours, coming off a plane from her holiday), keeping me in the loop on new vacancies/roles coming up. I would recommend her to anyone.

Lauren is a star!
Today I secured a new job role and I just wanted to say that I could not be happier with the service I received from Lauren at CV Bay. She has been an absolute star throughout the process. Professional, friendly, constantly in touch, and most of all supportive, and kind when I was struggling with self confidence during the process. Thoroughly recommended!

A friendly and professional service
Lauren worked with me and on my behalf to help secure a new role.
Her information was in depth and helpful and anything I wanted to know was quickly sourced and communicated in a friendly, professional manner.
I have enjoyed our interactions and Lauren has made sure to keep the whole process stress free and as flexible as possible.
I would have no hesitation working with Cv Bay and especially Lauren again.
Highly recommended.

Alice Patterson is the best!
I cannot sing Alice's praises enough! From the outset, when she contacted me, she was personable, professional and diligent.
Having a particularly nuanced role to fill, Alice identified my skill set as a perfect fit. With regular and timely updates, she organised interviews, provided feedback, and led salary negotiations with both passion and understanding. I enjoyed sharing progress with family, telling them "My agent" is organising this, or arranging that... She made me feel like star, auditioning for their next leading role. And you really benefit from that level of confidence in a challenging job market.
Alice's sixteen years of skills and experience really shine through. I have no hesitation in recommending her as your next agent.

I unfortunately received the news that I was being made redundant and I messaged Lauren to see if she could help me. It has taken 2 weeks from the news to being offered a new role all thanks to her.
She is always on the ball and keeps in regular contact about potential interviews etc.. I can’t thank her enough for all the work she has put in to get me into new and old positions. I will be ever thankful.
