Sign in issues - solved!

I was having issues logging in first thing, which a few home remedies couldn't fix. The CV library team noticed and called me directly to help solve the problem, even without me submitting a report. A quick call with Emily and the problem was fixed in minutes. Super speedy without taking much of my time. Thank you!

As a business owner I have been working with CV lib for over 15 years and have weathered some difficult storms including a pandemic and economy challenges. Over the past 5 years the business has had to change to reflect these challenges. CV lib in particular Callie and Nikki have supported and offered patience, understanding and a flexible approach to ensure Zebrec continue to be a customer. While CV lib has grown over the years it is really reassuring as a small business to speak to the same people when questions need answered. Business Director @ Zebrec

Scams and fake roles

Since uploading my cv and creating a profile I’m now constantly bombarded with scam calls and emails, I’ve never received a genuine call from an employer with a job opportunity .
I never receive relevant email job alerts either. Your recommendations are useless too - roles in Scotland or Yorkshire , really?? I specified my area, and you completely disregard this and send anything anywhere !!
CV library is just the same as all the other so called ‘leading’ job search sites - only interested in harvesting personal data and selling it to third parties.
After applying for a role there is no way to track the application or know if it was even received by the employer, they don’t even bother to respond or say if it’s successful or an interview.
No active roles at all. Fake and scams

In a challenging market

In a challenging market, CV Library is doing as well as its competitors that we also use regarding applications and search results. Where CV Library beats its competitors is in the customer services provided, the regular calls to check in and always the offer help.

This has always happened since I have been using the job boards as a recruiter (around 10 years).

Nick is a fantastic customer service executive

Nick is a fantastic customer service executive. He has shown the upmost professionalism, patience and experience when showing us how to navigate CV Library. He has supported me and my colleague with understanding how to create watchdogs, find CVs and just general CV Library information. We can't thank Nick enough for his support throughout and it is refreshing to use a service where the advisor checks in. Keep being brilliant Nick!

Review

The training session was well structured, clear, and tailored to my role as a recruiter. Rather than just covering basic features, the training focused on practical, day to day usage, especially around refining searches, managing candidate pipelines, and making better use of watchdogs and saved searches. It felt very relevant and immediately applicable.

What stood out most was how knowledgeable and approachable Daisy was. Daisy took the time to answer my questions in detail and provided useful tips that I hadn’t come across on my own. The training felt personalised rather than generic, which made it far more valuable.
