Candidate Hub
Employment resources for jobseekers
The candidate hub is a helpful resource library for jobseekers. Here you will find articles and information on subjects such as CV writing, interview & presentation tips, useful qualifications and much more.
Additionally there are some very basic sales & business development CV examples which you are free to use should it help you start putting together a new CV, or adapting the style of your current document.
If you’d like a more in-depth conversation about anything related to your job hunt please do get in contact with us, we’re more than happy to do whatever we can to help, even if you are not actively working with you on a position. We very much believe in supporting the market with advice as opposed to only supporting jobseekers we are representing.
Our experienced sales and business development recruitment team can offer guidance with anything related to your job search, and if we are unable to help you with your search, we can usually recommend an agency that can.
Example CVs
Here’s a collection of different styles of CV templates that you can download in word format. Each CV gives a clear example of the layout along with helpful prompts and guidance on the information you should include.
These are not perfect examples of what will work best for each individual, as everybody’s background is unique, however we hope they can give a good starting point or some inspiration for a CV refresh.

"Absolutely brilliant experience with Joby who initially contacted me about a role I’d applied for. The whole process was supportive, encouraging and he gave me the confidence to really go for it with my application, interview and second interview presentation. I was offered the role which I accepted and am really enjoying getting my teeth stuck into an exciting part-time role I didn’t think would exist, plus I’m surrounded by a great team of people in a lovely location. Could not recommend Joby and his team highly enough!" -
