What people are saying…
“I have known Vik for some time now and would describe him as passionate, consultative, and knowledgeable. He has recruited for me at the last three companies I have worked at over the last 12 years and has always provided a first class personal service where he takes the time to really understand each requirement in order to find the best people. He has found me some outstanding people in some very hard to source positions who have proved to be great hires. I have personally recommended him to some of my friends and former colleagues and would happily recommend Vik and VC Talent for your recruitment needs.”
Robin Spira, Former CTO FanDuel, Chemist Direct, Play.com
“I have worked with Vik for a few years now, both hiring for my teams and helping me source a new role and what strikes me most is his passion for doing absolutely the best he can. He has always gone the extra mile and continues to impress. He has a unique ability to truly understand requirements on a deeper basis whilst doing a great job for both us and the candidate. I would highly recommend Vik to help you get the right role or the right people.”
Julian McGovern, CIO, Save the Children International
“Vik has been my exclusive recruitment partner for over five years, helping me build small and large multidisciplinary IT teams. Despite the ongoing ‘War for Talent’, he has never failed to fill a vacancy for me in that time. Vik takes time to understand all aspects of the role and the organisational context. I have enormous respect for his skill and dedication to find the best candidates. His focus on quality over quantity and working with integrity for both the candidate and I differentiates him from his peers. He has always been a pleasure to work with.”
Greg Snow, Head of IT, CLS Holdings
“I have known Vik for many years. He has recruited for me, as well as brought opportunities my way. I have worked with many recruiters, and most see recruitment simply as a numbers game. Of course, they burn themselves out in the market. Vik takes a different approach. He takes the time to understand you, your organisation, as well as the role to determine whether he is best placed to support you as a hiring manager; or whether the role is right for you as a candidate. He does not oversell, and it’s because of his commitment to these behaviours and values that I have stayed in touch with him for just over a decade. I was very pleased when he told me that he had launched his own agency because recruitment needs those such as Vik that put values ahead of numbers. He is a breath of fresh air in what has become a stale industry.”
Ranjiva Prasad, Head of Innovation Architecture, Payments Industry
“Vik was a total pleasure to work with and really acted like a partner of the business for the whole process – in terms of tuning into our needs and seeking the best fit for us, rather than just throwing any candidates at us. He was recommended to me and I’ve since recommended him to others and will continue to do so. Vik is focused, reliable and has vast amounts of valuable experience to advise his clients with. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for tech candidates.”
Wendy Snowdon, Founder, TheFoodMarket.com
“I have known Vik for many years. He has helped me build multiple teams across multiple companies. He has provided some really high-quality candidates who themselves have gone on to leadership roles. He has a calm, reassuring manner backed by an extremely high level of competence and deep expertise in the recruitment space. Highly recommended.”
Guy Evans, CTO, Koyo Loans
