What others have to say about NEREO

North East Jobs Spotlight user
When promoting our recent HR vacancies, we used Spotlight and found it was a great way to raise the profile of our vacancies and share the views of current team members. The feedback from candidates was positive, commenting that it was one of the things that attracted them to apply, as they got a sense of our personalities and fit. I would definitely use Spotlight again and would recommend others to do so too.

Significant savings have been made in terms of time it previously took to process, reduction in paper, managing and monitoring electronically, user friendly reports and cost of covering the vacant post whilst waiting for paper system. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this service to other organisations.”

Being given the  time to talk through the long known issues in the service, right through to  positive actions, was a breath of fresh air and was so well supported by the way you managed the workshop. I personally learnt a lot too”
