TRUSTED BY

It can be really difficult to find specialist interim capacity in local government right now, which is why I’d recommend Vivid Resourcing. They have consistently gone out of their way to understand the skills, knowledge and personality that we’re looking for. Vivid have then carefully matched high quality potential candidates and provided regular check-ins to ensure that staff have settled in swiftly and everything has gone to plan.
Kent County Council
Interim Corporate Director of Finance
Whether as a client recruiting interim staff or as a candidate looking for suitable roles, I have always found Vivid to be very knowledgeable about public sector regeneration and economic development roles. Exceptionally helpful and customer focused, always quick to follow up on enquiries and provide updates on progress.
Liverpool City Region Combined Authority
Interim Head of Development
Vivid Resourcing are the most successful recruitment agency we currently work with – mainly due to their proactive attitude. They stay in touch with people they have placed in our team and with our team managers, and as a result they are always a step ahead of the other recruiters detecting opportunities. At the same time, they manage to do this without annoying us with too many phone calls or emails. They are genuinely too professional.
