I paid £90 to post a job

I paid £90 to post a job. No invoice sent, no receipt, no login. They did not respond to emails or social media, nothing. When I phoned, the man could hardly speak English and was unhelpful. Do not use these people. I have asked for refund. If they dont I have to contact my credit card company

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologise for the frustration caused. We understand that you have now spoken with a member of our team.

At the time, we were experiencing issues with our banking system which unfortunately affected some payment confirmations and account setup communications. We appreciate your patience while this was being resolved.

We regret that our service did not meet expectations on this occasion and apologise again for the inconvenience caused.

Top Marks for CV Library!

CV Library has always been so easy to deal with and such lovely helpful people. They've given me not only great service at a great price but also excellent advice and support. Personally, I would not consider using anyone else for recruitment.
