A. M.

I have had the pleasure of meeting with Melinda and Matt. The service from them is absolutely fantastic. They have both been professional and informative, never leaving any uncertainty. Melinda as the Head of Talent you have been all you have needed to and more!!!! You have been highly informative, friendly and all together a dream to work with. Matt, you are the epitome of a recruitment business manager, knowledgeable, professional and really friendly. VIQU is great, the website is a place you want to go for information. The staff are awesome and all the achievements that the company has received and have been nominated for is definitely a reflection of the Management, staff and the all round environment. Thank you for the time you have spent with me and the advice I have received. Keep up the hard work.

P. S.

I recently had the enormous pleasure of working with Stephan Meyer at VIQU on a role application. Having entered the job market for the first time in 12 years, Stephan provided fantastic advice and guidance. Stephan took the time to understand me and my journey and was proactive from the start in managing my application. I ultimate didn't take the role VIQU were marketing but I will definitely use VIQU in the future should I be looking for a new role or, indeed hiring. Thankyou Stephan and VIQU.

I don't normally write reviews, however, the representative I spoke too, Storm (awesome name by the way) was absolutely phenomenal. Professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. She mainly dealt with Software Dev's previously and my field of expertise (Networking/Wireless distribution) was not her area of expertise but advised me flawlessly and confidently. I'm very much looking forward to the opportunities that will present themselves from her fantastic work.

H. A.

I was looking for a job and Storm Robertson contacted me. She was super helpful and was great to talk to. She responds very fast and goes the extra mile to satisfy you. Every part of my recruitment process was beyond my expectations. Thanks to Storm, I have found an amazing job! VIQU has great recruiters.

G. B.

Vinay at VIQU handled me and the company that interviewed me during me looking for a new position. He was a pleasure to talk to, always polite and happy to chat not always work related, he was a real pleasure. Even after I was offered the position he called to see if I was happy and even sent a congratulations card.

A. S.

Hi, i have had great experience interacting with the team VIQU. Not only they have fantastic knowledge about what's going in the market but they have great amount of insights into what kind of candidates & skills their clients seek. This is really helpful as a candidate for me to prepare for the next discussions. Wishing them good luck and hopefully will interact them again !

S. M.

Storm Robertson from VIQU helped me secure my job offer in UK. She was extremely helpful and supportive. She always made sure that process was well understood and was quick in clarifying doubts. She is highly efficient and proactive. Thanks Storm, I owe you for this success :)

P. B.

I have been looking for a job for a few months when Storm Robertson contacted me. She responds very quickly to your questions and is very good at putting you at ease. Storm was very clear and helpful when explaining the clients’ processes. I can’t recommend highly enough Storm or VIQU when you are looking for that next big job move.

R. C.

I had the pleasure and honor to meet with Matt, Nicholas and recently Melinda during VIQU's consultant recruitment process for the UK. They are professional, extremely likeable and really impressed me with the level of insight and care that goes into their internal recruitment process. This has been a phenomenal and memorable experience and gives me great pleasure in seeing how passionate the team is, this speaks volumes for the management and the company as a whole.

C. H.

Vinay first recruited me for a role in 2011. Since then he has always kept in touch and recently provided me with an opportunity for a contract role close to my home that met my skills and requirements perfectly. As always I found Vinay to be very professional, transparent and prompt with his communication. It was a nice surprise to receive congratulations card from him after I was offered the role. Thank you Vinay, I have no hesitation in recommending you and VIQU

A. S.

Worked with Vinay Sonchatla to secure my current role. Vinay is a pleasure to work with, honestly one of the very few recruiters in the market who bring quality to the recruitment process. Vinay kept me informed through the process keeping a very genuine, considerate approach all through. Definitely recommend Vinay and VIQU!

C. D.

Recently had a great experience with Stephan Meyer and his team at VIQU. Was my first role change in 20 years and Stephan’s excellent comms and knowledgeable support really helped simplify the process, and secured me a great new position. A great service provided by a very professional outfit. Would thoroughly recommend… thanks Stephan!

L. R.

Absolutely professional and approachable team where it does NOT feel like a business “transaction”. The team led by Vinay gets to know the candidate as well as understand the priorities of the resource to help with purposeful information and relevant content. I am new in the market and the care and time dedicated to myself has been nothing less than humbling. Exceeds all expectations. Thanks team VIQU.

K. S.

I had the pleasure of being recruited by Vinay Sonchatla from VIQU who has been absolutely amazing throughout the process. Was always transparent, honest and to the point. Done all the leg work as quickly as possible and adjusted to my timetable. Very pleased overall. Highly recommended if you're looking a genuine recruiter. Thanks Vinay!!

T. A.

I’ve recently started a new contract after talking to Vinay Sonchatla at ViQU. Vinay was marvellous throughout the selection and recruitment process, has kept in touch afterwards and has shown a keen interest in my well-being through-out. Vinay, thank you. I am really impressed and would recommend Vinay to anyone seeking their next assignment.

L. J.

Have been working with Vinay who supported us in finding an interim experienced project manager. The project manager they sources was fantastic and was able to support our project delivery at a very busy time. Vinay is very friendly, thorough and helpful.

F.

Stephan helped me throughout the employment process, and has been flawless in his assistance and customer care! I can not emphasise enough how helpful and supportive he has been, liaising with the Employer on my behalf and offering advice throughout. I can honestly say he has been the most pleasant agency agent I have ever dealt with, and is a real asset to Viqu!

h.

Highly recommend VIQU - A very organised, professional, friendly and welcoming recruitment Agency. Specially Vinay Sonchatla, it has been an absolute pleasure working with him. Fantastic service – brilliant expertise, guiding me when necessary, explaining the process and what is required from me etc. Super helpful and always available to speak to. The whole process was made easy from start to finish – thank you!”

K. M.

Storm Robinson has been supporting us with our Software Development recruitment for almost 6 months now. In an increasingly challenging market, she has consistently shared interesting and relevant candidates with us, and we have made a number of new hires as a result. She is organised, professional and responsive. The whole team at VIQU has been great, and Matts ongoing support around immigration and Visa's has been second to none.

D. F.

Happy to share a review as Vinay has give above and beyond what I would normally expect from a recruiter. His advice and guidance had not only brought me immediate opportunities but his honest feedback on my CV has opened the flood gates for the future too.

S. K. N.

Vinay Sonchatla is one of the best recruitment consultants that I have worked with. His work has been professional and good quality throughout the whole recruitment lifecycle, from interview arrangement to contract placement.

V. M.

I had the great pleasure of dealing with Melinda Queck. The meeting was so comfortable and easy going and I really felt heard. Melinda is brilliant and my experience with VIQU was nothing short of amazing :)

a. o.

Working with Vinay has been amazing. Right from first contact through interview to success and on-boarding. he was on it everyday. What makes Vinay stand out is the way he is able to relate and humanise the whole process. Thanks Vinay for everything.

N. B.

Having dealt with VIQU in both Southampton and Birmingham I can wholly vouch for them as true IT recruitment specialists. Attention to detail, a strong understanding of our requirement alongside great communication throughout the recruitment process genuinely separates them from other agencies.

S. R.

I had privilege collaborating with Vinay Sonchatla at VIQU, very professional and always ensures transparency in each level of deploying process and also made sure my comfort , I am sure we both work together for long time Vinay provided opportunities, thank you

H. H.

Storm assisted me in securing a Senior .Net Software developer for our team. She was very professional and her turnaround time was quick. She is knowledgeable in her field and knows the dev market. It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with her and I would trust our dev recruitment to her in the future.

K. C.

I was contacted by Charise and was very professional over the phone, chatting about my profile/CV and jobs I'd be interested in. Unfortunately I have not found work as yet but after speak with this wonderful agent I have no doubt I will be placed Somewhere. Thank you for all your efforts and support and keeping working hard. Holding thumbs for my next possible role

U. E.

My experience was great from start to finish. Vinay delivered on everything i wanted plus more, and was delightful to work with throughout the process. I would definitely recommend VIQU!

O. S.

A great company to work with. Although we didn't make use of their services, Storm & Stephan were incredibly helpful from start to finish. Definitely not your average recruitment company.

W. T.

I have come to know Viqu Ltd. during the past 2 years and they are a stand out agency with which to do business. Matt Collingwood manages an agency where his values are instilled throughout the business. One is treated with respect and dignity no matter with whom one engages. Melinda Queck , Head of Talent, has brought a new dimension to ensuring that Viqu is a great environment to be part of and this is reflected by the continued growth and success they are experiencing. I am proud to say that Viqu Ltd. is a client.

D. H.

Was found by Stephan on LinkedIn. He introduced me to the role. After a short conversation he assessed that I would be a good fit for the position. He organised everything with the firm and quickly got me an interview, second interview and an offer in 3 days. Now into week two of a brilliant job. If you haven't already I would recommend you place your CV with them.

R. R.

Stephan was an excellent recruiter and organised me an interview within a week and had a full checklist for me to prepare for my interview. Great company to work with!

S. V. V.

Working with Storm from VIQU on a roll presently and she is right on top of things. Very proactive, timely, insightful, and knows the client and their business well. Top Stuff!

P. L. P.

I have been liaising with Stephan Meyer after two years of unemployment and he has been able to find me employment, very professional and understanding. He is highly recommended and very polite and accommodating.

G. S.

Service from Storm, Matt and Nipaphorn have been excellent. They engage with you on a personal level and really make you feel like they have your best interests at heart

U. M.

I had the pleasure of working with Melinda in the Southampton office. She was so welcoming and friendly. Everyone else who worked there were also lovely!

G. W.

I've had the privilege to deal with this great company and their staff. A great bunch of people that would go the extra mile. A special thanks to Matt. I would highly recommend them as a reputable agency. Keep it up!

K. D.

I have had the pleasure of working with Vinay for a while now and he has secured me another contract assignment via VIQU. After I finished my last assignment working for VIQU, Vinay stayed in regular contact and always made me aware of potentially suitable opportunities and I am now yet again working in an amazing role. Vinay really does know his candidates and clients. More importantly, he understands recruitment! Well done Vinay and thanks - again.

S. M.

Once Vinay and I spoke, it was evident that he knew and understood my skills in relation to the contract role. He listened & didn't treat me like a number but as a candidate and post interview was quick to provide feedback about the clients appraisal as to my suitability for the role. Once offered, he worked the weekend before I started to prepare and send the contract. In conclusion, Vinay works for an agency that cares, listens and fulfils its promises.

M. K.

Vinay Sonchatla from VIQU has been great in finding me a very suitable job opportunity in IT. Very prompt and responsive communication. I'm very thankful to Vinay for contacting me a with a job opportunity, getting an interview arranged and being on top of the whole recruitment process. Would definitely recommend.

A. S.

Worked with Vinay for years on highly skilled IT recruitment. Superb Service. Can always be relied on to deliver the right candidate.

R. L.

My first time with VIQU and my experience to date is that I am very impressed with the quality and speed there delivery at, while accompanying it with that personal touch. Vinay Sonchatla has been my Managing Consultant and has helped guide me into securing a fantastic position! All in all I highly recommend using VIQU IT Recruitment & Tech Consultancy.

C. N. M.

They reached out to me and helped me secure a Visa Sponsorship job in the UK. They have very friendly and helpful recruiters, especially Storm.

C. M.

Known Vinay Sonchatla about 12 months now, and onto my 2nd placement through VIQU. Cant recommend the team enough, and I like the personal touch you just don't seem to get with other agencies, as you do with Vinay and VIQU

C. A.

This was my first time using this agency and I would highly recommend them. I spoke to a representative called Storm and she was amazing, I could not have asked for better service and will definitely be returning in the future.

R. P.

I had an outstanding experience with VIQU, particularly with Vinay, who handled the whole recruitment process. Vinay was very straightforward and honest from the start, took his time to explain and discuss the role then went above and beyond to help me land an great job in a great company. He's very professional, friendly, responsive, offers great tips & insights, and always there to offer help. Can't recommend VIQU & Vinay highly enough. Thank you.

s. w.

Working closely with Melinda has been a pleasure and have no doubt this team is going places. Expect strong service and honesty from them - tonnes of potential in this branch 💪🏻

B. G.

Storm has been really helpful with getting an interview setup and explaining the emigration process to my wife and I. We are looking forward to this new adventure.

I. N.

Danielle K from VIQU approached me regarding a couple of positions that she had available after finding my CV on one of the recruitment sites like Totaljobs or LinkedIn. She found a position that matched my circumstances and skillset perfectly, she guided me through the interview process and was instrumental in getting me my job offer. She has been friendly and professional throughout the process and should I go back onto the job market again in the future, I would happily go back to her and VIQU for help. Highly recommended

C. T.

I had the pleasure of meeting the Southampton team last week and was blown away with how warm and welcoming they all were.

C. S.

Can't rate VIQU highly enough. There's a lot of cowboys in recruitment, but VIQU are built on solid principles, and deliver every single time.

G. o. w.

Danielle Keegan has been very helpful from the start . So prompt on answering all the questions with regards to the role. Helped me negotiate with the start date. Supported with the online and face to face interview. Gave valuable tips on the presentation and was very professional. Highly recommended!

G. G.

Thanks for the great work Storm, got the job opportunities that I wanted. Even from abroad you still manage to do great work for SA's ;)

b. m.

Vinay Sonchatla at VIQU approached me about a contract role and helped me throughout the process from prepping for the interview to joining an umbrella company when I got the role! It had been a long time since I was a contractor, but Vinay took to the time, providing a more personalised approach. That makes him and VIQU standout amongst those agencies that deal with just volume. I would definitely reach out to Vinay if you or you know someone who is job hunting or thinking about changing jobs. Give him a call.

M. H.

What a phenomenal industry-leading agency. A business who actually lives out their values in action, they don't just look good on paper. Thank you Matt Collingwood, Melinda Queck and Team.

C. M.

Amazing experience with Vinay from VIQU, He really took his time to take my complete skill set and thoroughly explained the position, the types of software I would be working on, and the types of testing which were currently being executed at the company. He was continually in contact through out the recruitment process and very encouraging and helpful. I would certainly say this has by far been my best experience with any recruitment agency, Vinay in particular is a extremely helpful guy when trying to gain more information about the potential Company. Fantastic service Overall and If I ever need I would always use VIQU without thinking twice.

D. D.

Working with Vinay as a client has always been a positive experience. He works hard to understand the type of candidate required for a role, is very responsive and maintains good communication. Ultimately as a client you want to have a set of good quality candidates to choose from and I have found Vinay to be one of the better consultants in his ability to do this and as therefore very happy to recommend him and his team.

M. S.

Hands down, the best recruitment consultant I've worked with. Vinay helped me secure a fantastic role at a really great company. He supported me throughout, and was both professional and very personable at all times. Thanks for your help!

N.

I've had a great experience working with Vinay in securing my current role so can't thank you enough for all your help & support

F. U.

Vinay is an absolute professional and a great guy to work with. He promised he would find me a role which he did but also ensured i was settled at the client's as he would email or message every now and then. I do appreciate his openness and hope to continue working with him for as long as possible.

m. b.

I was introduced to Vinay Sonchatia by a former colleague and from the 1st call, he kept me informed in a timely manner on finding my new position and we developed a great rapport. 1st class approach and i look forward to developing that professional relationship in the months and years ahead.

P. R.

I’ve recently agreed a new contract after an initial approach from Vinay Sonchatla. In common with most people, I’ve had some really good experiences of agencies, and some patchy ones; I have to say that Vinay is absolutely spot on, he’s been on top of everything throughout the selection and recruitment process, and has been committed to my well being throughout. I’m massively impressed!

K. A. (.

Had a great experience working with Vinay from VIQU and was able to secure a new role that is perfect for me. Vinay took the time to understand me, what I was looking for, and always had time to answer any questions I had, even out of working hours.

T. D.

This is my first project with VIQU. I should say i am very happy to have chosen to work with them. The team is very professional and are swift in clarifying queries and in supporting onsite challenges. Special thanks to Mike McEvoy for taking extra steps to ensure all help is provided and is accessible anytime when needed. Company's contractor portal is a breeze to upload and validate documentations, timesheets etc. Glad to have joined VIQU and hoping to continue this association into the future.

J. W.

Great process leading to a fantastic opportunity. Stephan was really helpful and prompt in his communication

H. S.

I was contacted by Vinay from Viqu - Southampton with a potential role that may be of interest to me, Vinay was very responsive and professional, he went out his way to make sure I got an interview which I'm very thankful for, not everyone has that duty of care in this industry. I will recommend Viqu and Vinay for there great service, look forward to working with you guys more in the future. Thank you

N. P.

Vinay from VIQU approached me for an IT Job, my experience with him is really good, especially he keeps personal touch, provide timely and necessary details, and go extra mile so I can get an opportunity as per my aspiration.

J. G.

I have nothing but positives to say about the VIQU team in Southampton. My initial consultation was with Rebecca who I found to be warm, friendly, and engaging. Nothing was too much trouble and, indeed when a company contacted me directly for a particular role, it was Rebecca who I turned to for some key advice. Even though Rebecca had nothing to gain she was only too willing to help and without her words of wisdom it's likely that landing the role I did would have proven much more difficult. Amazing team, amazing service, amazing people.

I. H.

Really appreciated Vinay and his assistance in securing my latest role. He is friendly and, unlike alot of other agencies, kept in touch and involved throughout the process. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone who is looking at potential next moves. Thank you Vinay!

M. P.

This is my first time contracting, and I cant thank Vinay and VIQU team enough for there help. Firstly Vinay really took the time to ensure that I and the client were the right fit for one another, Secondly he then offered advice on taking forward my contract pointing me in the direction of people that could help. Hopefully this is the just the start of more contract work with VIQU.

J. A.

Vinay secured an interview for me and got a very good review from the feedback which is encouraging. He is responsive and always go an extra mile to assists at all level.

J. M.

Vinay contacted me for a role, and the whole process was an easy ride. He took control of everything, organised the interviews, feed me with all the insights he could find and always acted very proactively. I would definitely recommend him as the best consultant to headhunt you!!

R. P.

Excellent recruiter I am a contractor Received call from Vinay Sonchatla at 7 pm , had interview following day and sign a contract to start day after . Once contract received, keep receiving until today calls to check if I am settled and if everything is ok . One of the best agent

D. D. B.

Having my privilege to work with Storm who very professional and friendly, I really appreciate.

A. P.

I was glad that Vinnay and ViQU, got me my role as a contractor. even when working in my role he was would check with me on how things are going and if I needed any assistant they were there to help. Looking forward to working with them in the future.

M. B.

A great recruitment experience with Vinnay at Viqu. Vinnay took the time to understand my skills and match to his assignment requirements. A refreshing approach in an age of systemised recruitment practices!
