We've spent years helping businesses find the right people.
Now we're doing it differently.
Recruitment has been a major part of our working lives.
Between us, we've built and managed successful recruitment businesses, developed specialist teams and worked directly with employers across a wide range of industries.
We've seen first-hand how difficult finding the right people can be, particularly when a vacancy needs filling and the right candidates simply aren't applying.
Having run recruitment businesses ourselves, we also understand the pressures facing employers — the importance of finding capable people, managing costs and keeping the business running.
We know traditional recruitment agencies can provide an excellent service. We've spent years working in that industry. But we also recognise that their approach and percentage-based fees aren't always what an employer needs.
We believed there was room for something different.
That's why we created JobMatchedCVs.
Our aim is straightforward: to give employers access to professional recruitment experience, practical candidate-searching support and transparent fixed pricing, without traditional percentage-based placement fees.
We've recruited for businesses. We've also run them.
Our recruitment experience goes well beyond searching CVs and advertising vacancies.
We've worked alongside managing directors, business owners and departmental managers to understand their staffing requirements, find suitable candidates and solve recruitment problems.
We understand that an unfilled vacancy can affect far more than one position.
It can mean missed orders, delayed projects, additional pressure on existing employees or a business owner having to take on the work themselves.
Our backgrounds include building and managing multi-branch recruitment operations, developing specialist recruitment teams and delivering staffing solutions across different industries.
Along the way, we've helped build recruitment businesses achieving annual turnovers of £9 million and £6 million.
We're proud of those achievements, but it's the practical experience gained from running those businesses, working with employers and understanding people that matters most.
The right person might not be looking for a job.
Some of the best people for your business may already be employed, doing a good job and not actively looking for another position.
But that doesn't necessarily mean they wouldn't consider the right opportunity.
We believe successful recruitment starts with understanding your business, rather than simply advertising a vacancy and waiting for applications.
First, we listen.
We start by understanding your recruitment challenge — the role, your business and where we're most likely to find the right people.
Then, we search.
Using our recruitment experience alongside modern search tools, we look beyond the people who have already applied.
Depending on the service you choose, this can include searching CV databases, advertising your vacancy and researching professionals who may not be actively looking for work.
And when appropriate, we make contact.
Our passive and recruiter-assisted services allow us to approach potentially suitable professionals directly, introduce your opportunity and establish whether there's genuine interest.
With our recruiter-assisted service, we take this further through candidate conversations, suitability assessments and structured feedback to help you make informed decisions.
Throughout the process, you remain in control of your recruitment decisions.
Meet Mary & Mike
Mary Stevens & Mike Davies — Co-Founders of JobMatchedCVs
We've both spent much of our working lives helping businesses recruit, and we bring different but complementary experience to JobMatchedCVs.
Mary Stevens
Mary built and managed a successful multi-branch recruitment business with an annual turnover of £9 million and 64 employees.
Her experience includes developing recruitment teams, managing demanding staffing contracts and working closely with clients to understand what they need.
Mary believes good recruitment is built on listening, understanding people and taking the time to get things right.
Mike Davies
Mike has held senior management and director-level positions across several recruitment businesses.
His experience includes helping grow a recruitment operation from £800,000 to £6 million annual turnover, developing new recruitment businesses and working directly with employers to solve their staffing challenges.
Mike's approach has always been practical and commercially focused — understanding what a business needs and finding a way to deliver it.
Together, we bring extensive recruitment experience, commercial understanding and a shared belief that finding the right people shouldn't be unnecessarily complicated or expensive.
Finding the right person shouldn't be harder than it needs to be.
Whether you're struggling to fill a vacancy, finding that applications aren't producing the right candidates or simply don't have the time to manage the search yourself, we'd be happy to talk.
Tell us a little about your business, the person you're looking for and the challenges you've encountered.
We'll explain how JobMatchedCVs could help, which level of support might suit your needs and what it would cost.
