    5 Stars CVtrumpet provided me with some useful connections quickly 08/09/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Provided me with some very useful recruiter contacts

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can't think of any

    All in all I felt I got good value from CVtrumpet as it provided me with some useful recruiter contacts, which in turn got me one interview with another to follow. You add your CV to the site, along with other information about your requirements, and CVtrumpet sends your CV out to lots of matching recruitment firms for you. The service is provided to recruitment firms for free and the jobseeker pays for the service. When I emailed them, they said that by providing recruitment firms with CVs for free, they have been able to build an extensive network of recruiters across the UK numbering 8,271 ... more

    5 Stars CVtrumpet did what it said and got results 19/08/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Got my CV to a large number of recruiters quickly. It's fast and was effective for me.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages While they have a free service (adding your CV to database) the CV forwarding is a pay-for service

    CVtrumpet is a CV forwarding service. It forwards your CV to the inboxes of a large number of recruiters that match your salary, job type, industry and your level (Manager/Director/Specialist etc). Recruiters receive CVs for free and CVtrumpet state on their site that they have over 8,200 recruiters with them that receive CVs. A friend had used the service and recommended it. With the current market I was a little sceptical though as there doesn't seem to be as many vacancies as there was when I was looking last May. I decided to go for it and joined in less than 5 minutes. My CV was sent to ... more

    4 Stars pleased with the response 27/01/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages pleased with the contact from some high quality recruiters

    Disadvantages Disadvantages ---

    pleased with the response from using cv trumpet, basically a lot of traction in a very short space of time... I read the reviews on here first and then decided to give it a go and used it early January 2010 and am happy with how it's gone. The other reviews talk about how it works etc, so I'll just add that cv trumpet gave me the contacts I needed to land my next role within 3 weeks. I used the executive service at www.cvtrumpet.co.uk/executive-recruiters​.htm, my CV went out the next day and I had contact from recruitment consultants within hours. good value for the time it saved me, I woulkd ... more

    5 Stars cvtrumpet -- several good leads and 2 interviews in 14 days. Review with images 21/07/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages very fast way to get your CV out to recruiters

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    cvtrumpet is basically an efficient online tool for getting your CV directly to executive recruiters / headhunting companies that cover your job, industry etc... Basically I filled in one form (5 minutes or less) and that was it. Instead of my cv going to one firm it went to loads. I was pleased with how quickly recruiters were contacting me and to summarise the results I had several good job leads and 2 interviews within 2 weeks. The speed at which cvtrumpet worked really impressed me. Would use again and recommend. 10/10. The homepage is at www.cvtrumpet.co.uk and I also found a useful help ... more

    5 Stars CVtrumpet connected me with some useful search firms 24/08/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages sends your CV to many search firms quickly

    Disadvantages Disadvantages send Word docs only (instead of my nice PDF CV)

    Used the service in 2005 and needed it again as I wanted to get my CV out to search firms quickly after returning from holiday and realising that a change was needed. If you're not familiar with it, CVtrumpet sends your CV out to search firms/recruiters for you. It's just one form on which you add your CV and a profile, and they then send your CV on to recruiters that match your profile. In my case there were 159 recruiters that matched my profile. I know this as you can also get the list of search firms (but not contact details) as an optional extra that your CV is sent to. My CV went out the ... more

    4 Stars CV Trumpet's premium service worked very quickly for me 03/09/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages a convenient service that found me some very useful recruitment contacts quickly

    Disadvantages Disadvantages covers the UK only

    Good, swift service that worked very quickly for me. CV Trumpet sends your CV to recruiters who match a profile that you create on the site. You select recruiters by your type of job, your industry, salary, your level and location. They send out your CV individually to all recruiters who match your selections from their network of 8,200 UK recruiters who are opted in to the service. My CV was sent out the day after I joined and I was contacted by several recruiters over the next few days. Two of the contacts presented me with interesting opportunties and I had my first interview a week later ... more

    4 Stars cvtrumpet helped me to get interviews and saved my time 15/09/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages saved time, got a position that I am pleased with

    Disadvantages Disadvantages -

    Busy in a management role and wanting to make a career move I decided to use the cvtrumpet executive service after reading the reviews on here. One of the roles that I got details of through from one of the larger recruitment firms was for an IT management role that interested me. Interviewed for it and got the job! Also had one interview in the same week for another management position through the service that would have been a good backup, but wasn't offered that role anyway. Recevied some other contact from recruiters although this didn't lead to any more interviews. Cvtrumpet matches your ... more

    4 Stars good, swift service 24/09/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages good alternative to traditional job search methods

    Disadvantages Disadvantages --

    Used in May 09 I was looking for a quick way to get my CV out to recruitment consultants. I was already in a position and didn't have the time or desire to find, and then send out a CV to all of the relevant agencies. After I registered, they did all the work by forwarding my CV to recruiters for me. The recruiters that they send it to are all members fo CVtrumpet and the service is free for recruiters. The service is mainly geared towards those who are executive or management job searching, they do though cover many other positions though, including mine (account executive) all of which are ... more

    5 Stars cvtrumpet worked well 05/05/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages fast, saves time, effective

    Disadvantages Disadvantages only covers the UK

    Used the service between the two bank holidays in April 2011 after it was recommended by a good friend. It takes about five minutes to register and your CV is then sent to executive recruiters who cover your industry, job type, salary etc. Within hours of my CV being sent to executive recruiters I had received several quality contacts leading to two interviews. It is particularly useful if you are already in empoyment and looking for another position (like me) and you don't have the time or desire to find and then contact suitable recruitment firms individually. To sum up, the cvtrumpet ... more
