Sorry for the silence from us here at AskVerity recently.

Now Iโ€™m settled into a routine with work Iโ€™m now ready to take on new CV clients and interview coaching clients.

An update from Verity of AskVerity here.

Iโ€™ve had the pleasure of developing and running AskVerity for the last 3 and a bit years. The last 6 months have been hard, the economy has been difficult and Iโ€™ve struggled to find consistency with my corporate clients as recruitment is bottom of the agenda for a lot of companies right now.

I took the decision at the back end of 2025 to return to full time employment. Iโ€™m very pleased to announce that I have now secured a Talent Acquisition role with a company in Coventry and I start next week.

I will still be offering CV Writing and Interview Coaching services on a part time basis but I will no longer be providing consultancy, recruitment or outplacement support to businesses. Just give me a few weeks to settle into my new roles first though please ๐Ÿ˜†

A HUGE thank you to all of my clients over the last 3 years. AskVerity has been an amazing chapter in my life and something Iโ€™ll always hold close to my heart. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโค๏ธ

My lovely husband and Barker bought me these flowers to say congratulations ๐Ÿ’

Wishing everyone a super weekend ahead.

Are you a micro or small business currently recruiting via Indeed? Are you feeling overwhelmed by the number of responses you're getting? Generally, a job advert produces anywhere up to 500 responses in the current employer-driven market.

If you don't have the capacity to sit down and read all of these CVs, create a shortlist, carry out in-depth screening calls, and then arrange interviews - don't panic - AskVerity has got your back!! ๐ŸŽ‰

We can take away all of that stress, time, and hassle by doing all of the hard work for you. We can access your Indeed account, review all applicants, shortlist, screen, and arrange interviews on your behalf. And we do this all at an hourly rate, saving you money in % fee recruitment fees.

So, if you're feeling overwhelmed with your recruitment, give AskVerity a call, and we'll get on the case. With over 20 years of recruitment experience, we're experts in our field, and unlike you, we love recruitment!! ๐Ÿ˜† (well, someone has to!)

Recruiters sometimes get a bad wrap, and to be fair, from some of the experiences I hear from my CV clients, I'm horrified. However, if you can find a good recruiter who specialises in your field of expertise and who cares, then you really are on to a winner. ๐Ÿ™Œ

In this week's AskVerity blog, we look at the benefits of using a recruitment agency in your job hunt.

So grab a cuppa - put your feet up and have a read ๐Ÿต ๐Ÿค“

I spent Thursday last week at Moat House Leisure Centre in Coventry with Coventry Job Shop and the job centre supporting their

It was such a humbling event, and I met some really great talent from our city who are currently looking for work.

One young man particularly stood out to me. He's looking for warehouse work, and rather than just sitting behind a laptop firing out applications, he told me he's been out to his local industrial estate and handed out CVs to prospective employers. This really stood out to me as someone who is going above and beyond to find a role and to get himself back into work.

I think recruitment and hiring have become faceless and impersonal just lately with the introduction of AI. What's at the heart of recruitment is people, and I feel that is forgotten all too quickly.

People are struggling to find jobs right now. The market is quiet, and we have some really talented people in the UK who just can't find work, and to me, that feels so wrong!

I just want to wish everyone out there looking for work all the very best. Keep going, keep plugging away, and the right thing will come up, but try, if you can, to stand out from the crowd, think outside the box. How can you get yourself noticed in a busy and competitive market?

I've written some blog posts on job searching, CV writing, and interview coaching, so please feel free to visit my website and check them out. I hope they help a bit.

Great time today spent at CoventryJobFest at Moat House Leisure Centre.

I got to meet some fantastic talent in our fabulous city ๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿฉต I was able to give some on the spot CV guidance and advice to help some people with their job hunts.

Nice to be able to give back to the local community. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

I was having a conversation with Mr AskVerity last week about one of his friends from the gym who's sadly being made redundant - I said to Mr AV 'So after you'd listened to what was going on for him, you obviously then pointed out what I do, yes'............well no, actually he didn't!! ๐Ÿซฃ

It suddenly occured to me that if my own husband isn't connecting the dots then maybe my lovely connections on LinkedIn aren't either.........so, just to clarify......if someone is facing redundancy, I would love to speak to them as I have an entire toolbox I can delve into to help support them. To include: -

๐Ÿ‘‰ CV writing - I can help them develop a tailored, ATS-optimised, standout CV to get them into the job market.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Job hunt coaching - if they haven't been on the job market in the last 3 years - believe me, things have changed A LOT, and I can help them to navigate their search.

๐Ÿ‘‰ LinkedIn optimisation and training - I can help to get their LinkedIn profile sparkling and standing out in what is a very challenging job market.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Interview training - I offer interviewing coaching and training for competency-based interviews, which they will more than likely face during their job hunt.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Recruitment - yes, I'm a recruiter - have been for 20 years, even if I don't have a suitable role for them, I can point them in the direction of other recruiters and job boards.

So if you hear people saying they're facing redundancy or looking for a new role, please point them in my direction as I'd love to have a free consultation call with them to find out more.
