At Distinctive People our expanding team of consultants bring a wealth of recruitment expertise and experience from a diverse range of sectors. Our recruitment practice, which specialises in executive placements, has seen a changing trend in what clients are looking for at that first point of candidate engagement – which is usually the candidate CV.
Today we are launching a personal pro bono CV Clinic aimed at enabling executive leaders to sharpen their CV’s to project their full offer and make them Distinctive!
The service is confidential and will incorporate a 15 minute video link with one of our executive recruiters who will provide tips and ideas on how you can maximise the impact of your CV. If this would be of value, all you need to do is send us your cv to Recruitment@distinctivepeople.co.uk with the subject heading: CV Clinic and one of our team will be in touch
