CV Screen Celebrates 25 Years in Business
London, UK – January 2025 – CV Screen, a UK recruitment agency, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this month. Founded in January 2000, the company has successfully recruited over 6,000 candidates for more than 2,000 organisations, with a strong focus on its ethical, honest, and transparent approach to recruitment.
Matthew Iveson, Managing Director of CV Screen, reflected on the company’s journey: “Over the last 25 years, we’ve had 31 fantastic people contributing to CV Screen’s success, with an average tenure of over 7 years, that’s been the one thing that I’m most proud of.”
He continued, “I was 23 when we started, and my view was that we’d give it a try for a year and see how things go; I was young enough to get another role if things didn’t work out!”
CV Screen, which started with a focus on the tech sector, quickly diversified to cover other sectors, including Finance recruitment and Marketing. The company has recruited for over 2,000 companies across the UK and now operates in several industries, with particular expertise in supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Iveson explained how the company evolved: “We started as two chaps in a garage focusing on IT recruitment, but swiftly realised that we’d need to diversify – within 18 months, we had moved to offices in High Wycombe due to expansion.”
“We have recruited mainly in the SME space, but along the way, we have recruited for household names such as the University of Oxford, Red Bull, NHS Hertfordshire, and one of the most recent placements was with Watford Football Club,” Iveson continued. “As a lifelong Watford supporter, I think it was the most determined I’ve ever been to find the right candidate for the role!”
Charity and Giving Back
In 2019, CV Screen introduced a charitable initiative where £50 is donated to a charity of the employer’s choice when a CV Screen candidate successfully starts in their new role. To date, the company has donated over £30,000 to various causes. To mark its 25th anniversary, CV Screen will double the donation to £100 in 2025, with the aim of raising over £10,000 for charity this year alone.
“We’re incredibly proud of our charitable efforts,” said Iveson. “One of our core values is being charitable, and this incentive has seen us donate over £30,000 to fantastic causes. We are excited to continue supporting great charities in the years ahead.”
Looking Ahead
Looking forward, Iveson is optimistic about the company’s continued success. “CV Screen has a reputation for providing a fantastic ethical service, with over 60% of our business coming from organisations with whom we have previously worked. We build excellent relationships not just with candidates and clients, but internally too, and we believe that will enable us to flourish in 2025 and beyond.”
