I’ve worked with VIQU for almost six years and have personally managed their account for the past four. I honestly have nothing but positive things to say. They are consistently helpful, reliable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Communication is always clear and professional, and any queries are dealt with quickly and efficiently. A special mention to Kash Sohal and Hannah Parsons, who have both been amazing throughout our working relationship. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend VIQU based on my experience.

Very unprofessional.
I did not use my real name, that's why you have no record of me.
Who uses their real name...
Awful communication, a plethora of people whiling away their existence in a company designed to tread water in the information sector.
I'd rather be represented by a cat.
To clarify, multiple contact methods (multiple times): Email, phone, Linkedin, not a single response from anyone relating to my queries/business.

I had an excellent experience with VIQU Energy Recruitment, and I can’t thank them enough for placing me in a role that I genuinely love. From start to finish, the process was smooth, supportive, and incredibly professional.
A special thank‑you goes to Madeline, who was absolutely amazing throughout. She kept me updated at every stage, understood exactly what I was looking for, and went above and beyond to make sure the role was the right fit. Her communication, guidance, and encouragement made the whole experience stress‑free and enjoyable.

Excellent experience with Viqu IT Recruitment. The turnaround was incredibly fast – I had a same-day interview arranged and received a job offer shortly after. The team provided clear, informative interview preparation, which really helped me feel confident and well-prepared. Communication was consistent and professional throughout the process. Highly recommend Viqu IT Recruitment for their efficiency, support, and results.

I dealt with Nicholas and Suzie.
From the first time we connected all the way throughout the journey to the first day I started my role, both of these experts provided clear communication, updates and fantastic customer service throughout.
I was exceptionally impressed with these two and they are a huge asset to the organisation and to the recruiting world.
Thank you both for everything that you have done.

I will like to thank Belle from VIQU for her support during my job application and interview process. It was a great experience
I have worked with a lot of agencies for 30 plus years. I have found Viqu’s Connor Smal to be very professional, honest, hardworking and a great problem sorter. If I have had any questions Connor has answered them straight away, or found the answers very quickly.
I’ve been working with VIQU for the past two years, and their professionalism and commitment to supporting their consultants is truly outstanding. Throughout my various assignments, I’ve consistently felt supported by the VIQU team. Their responsiveness and reliability give me great confidence, knowing I can count on their support whenever needed.
Viqu are super responsive to client/contractor needs. In particular, Nicholas Hopkins is a delight to work with. He understands the industry from both the customer and the contractor perspective and ensures integrity is maintained at all times. This agency is a joy to work with and I look forward to a continued relationship with them and their wonderful clients.
Worked with VIQU over the last 9 years to source high quality contractors and perm candidates. Always have a really good understanding of what I am after from a skills perspective and what is happening in the market place which is very useful intel. Great account management (from Nicholas Hopkins) and always there when I need him even to chat through a problem or longer term plans. Also very good with the people they place, keeping the relationship alive and well. Well done VIQU.
I've engaged with Viqu on multiple contracts and had a pleasant experience. Invoices were always paid on time and the onboarding process was streamlined.
I was kept up to date throughout the process both initially and during the contracts.
Seen an opportunity on their website and applied. Contacted them the following day since no one replied. Speaking to someone, they started off talking about the role and answering my questions but half way through the conversation they got a little irate. Asked further about the role whether it exists or not, and they started talking more without giving a yes or no answer. I then said it is clear that I am not going anywhere and want my information deleted. He then said that they can't and I needed to contact Jobsite (btw, applied directly on their website) and follow their procedures. I reminded him that it was applied directly and it is on them to remove it. He got irate and hanged up. Instantly I had a phone call back and message left by a Manager who claimed he was listening in to the conversation and the person I was speaking to was a trainee and I should call back to discuss further. No. I think this is company needs to be called out as being another 'recruitment farmer' where they farm jobs from other sites and other recruiters and are another brown layer of paper pushers. Avoid.

After they get your approval to send CV across, you don’t hear from them again. Emailed Consultant a number of times to follow up and no reply.
Even if they don’t proceed be good just to let you know either way.
Wouldn’t use in the future.
