    Nothing short of amazing!!! Bradley is an absolute credit to the company, and honestly, I feel as though we've known each other a lifetime within the short space of time that we communicated. He got to know me on a personal level, spoke about my needs and aspirations, lifestyle and work balance and provided me with great insight and immeasurable amounts of advice and guidance. He went above and beyond, provided me with a metaphorical sofa and therapy sessions, and came back with the goods!! I could not have achieved a fraction of what Bradley acquired for me, without his expertise and guidance. I would recommend Brad to EVERYONE, and if there wasn't a global pandemic, I would buy him a drink or two, in appreciation for everything he has done for me. He knows the profession, he knows the market, he knows his clients and he knows how to seal a deal.

    Joe helped me secure a new job just before sitting my final OSCE which I wasn’t aware was an option before getting in contact with vivid optical. He is very knowledgable and helped explore all my options and was always available to help if I had any queries. I can’t thank him enough for his help and am now ready to start my role following passing my exam!

    Joe at Vivid was very helpful in finding me work in London. I'm a first year qualified optom who required employment that could sponsor me on a work Visa and Joe found me everything I needed and made the whole process super easy. Would definitely recommend the vivid optical team!

    As a newly qualified optometrist seeking exposure to other areas of optics and new challenges I have had an exceptional experience with Vivid Optical, in-particular senior consultant Owen Thacker. Owen listened attentively took time to understand what I wanted out of my career at this stage and provided detailed information with regards to options I could explore, sent across relevant information and videos for me to review in my own time and was always available to answer any questions I had. From our first conversation I felt completely supported and that Owen whole-heartedly wanted to help me achieve my goals and land a suitable role. When challenging scenarios presented along the way Owen was both supportive and patient, being a voice of reason and providing suitable methods to overcome the presented issues. I am extremely grateful for Owen’s time, effort and consistency - which has enabled me to achieve a position I didn’t think was possible 3 months ago. I am delighted with the end result and would like to thank both Vivid Optical and Owen Thacker for going above and beyond.

    I've had the pleasure of dealing with Vivid Optical recently while securing a new job role through their service. Andrew has been fantastic at every point of contact and has made the entire process straight forward and actually fairly enjoyable! It's been great to have someone explaining processes, offering advice and support and sorting out any logistics for me. Will absolutely use Vivid Optical again should I need to find a new role.

    Bradley was amazing every step of the way, from the initial consultation to the interview stages, he was always there to help with the best advice, always so patient and understanding, really felt like he could put yourself in your shoes and help you make the best decision for you. He was really encouraging when he needed to be and was so good at calming my nerves throughout the whole process. I am so grateful for his help and wish him the absolute best!

    Owen at vivid made the whole process really easy. He listened to what I wanted and found me lots of suitable roles in the location I wanted. He then supported me through the interviews and next steps. He was really easy to talk to and kept in touch the whole time. I’m sure the whole team are just as professional and supportive. Hopefully I won’t need to use their services again any time soon, but I would certainly use them again if I did need to.

    Andrew at Vivid was absolutely amazing with finding me a new job. With being a newly qualified Optometrist during the pandemic, it was stressful to find a new job which suited me but Andrew found me many options and I am really happy within the job I am in now. I can not thank Andrew enough for all his help through the recruitment process. I hope many other Optometrists can benefit from his help! Muneeb

    I came across vivid optical when I was searching for a job, I wasn’t expecting such a fast and efficient response. I particularly wanted to leave this review for Harrison, he made the process so easy and stress free. Very friendly, came back to me with a number of different opportunities after really taking the time to understand my expectations and requirements. Would highly recommend the company to anyone looking for a new job opportunity

    Harrison at Vivid Optical was extremely helpful in finding the perfect practice for me as newly qualified Optometrist - having been with my previous company for so many years I was hesitant to move on but Harrison took this into consideration and found me a practice which I was so happy with as soon as I went to see it. The interview was arranged within a day and Harrison even called to go through interview tips with me, as I hadn't had an interview in over 5 years. He was professional and ensured he updated me regularly throughout the entire process so I didn't have to keep chasing him for anything. I would definitely recommend using Vivid Optical if you are looking for a new position!

    Joe Preston - absolutely outstanding service. Helped me get the job I’m currently in. Absolutely great service and very thorough and efficient communication. Joe is a true asset to your business. Thank you Joe for all your help, couldn’t be more grateful!

  • 5/5 Izabela M. 4 months ago on Google
    My experience with Vivid Optical was amazing, from the moment I was first contacted by Vakaris, who did all the excellent preliminary work, till the very last step when I got the job due to Joe Preston’s hard work and commitment. Even after I got the job, Joe made sure that I’m being good looked after. For instance, a minor situation, that could have created major problems was sorted out very fast by Joe. I had some frustrating and time consuming issues with sending some important documents to the new employer by email, ( that might have been because of my internet connection, or the wrong document format), but Joe kindly sorted everything out for me in a matter of minutes. And I really appreciate it. Needless to say that everything happened so much faster than expected. In less than two weeks I started my new job because of Vakaris’ and Joe’s brilliant team work and efficiency! You have my gratitude gents! I highly recommend Vivid Optical for their professionalism and efficiency in finding the most suitable job for me.

    Vivid found my c.v and were in touch with a terrific opportunity, I've secured a new job which I've yet to start. I've been wanting to get into an independent practice for a long time and now I have less hours, more pay and more holiday. They've been very thorough and supportive all the way through . They are the best agency I've come across

  • 5/5 Deeviya V. 10 months ago on Google
    I was contacted by Joe Preston when I first reached out to Vivid Optical. He had listened to all my concerns and had really listened to what I was looking for in a job. This was shown through the opportunities he had presented to me, and now I am to start a new job in the next following week which ticks all of my boxes. Joe Preston was very professional, informative and very quick to respond to my messages. I would 100% recommend Vivid Optical for being there for me throughout this process and for having made it as easy and smooth as possible for me to transition. I would also like to thank Danny who had also helped me as much throughout this process. Will be forever thankful for them for helping me find an amazing job that is most suitable to me☺️. Thank you🙏🏽

  • 5/5 Rebekah Y. 6 months ago on Google
    I landed my dream job due to Owen from Vivid Optical! He has made the whole process a breeze dealing with all the logistics and communications between my self and future employers, all I had to do was turn up for my interviews . He took the time and effort to find out what I wanted in a job, and I’m very particular, but he was incredibly attentive to all my needs, landing me with a job that felt tailored to myself. Communication with Owen throughout this whole process has never been so easy, he is always a phone call, text or email away allowing the whole process to be swift and stress free. I genuinely can’t thank Owen enough for all the support, effort and time he has put in. You would be unwise to go job searching without someone like him. I would recommend him to anyone. He is an asset to your company!

  • 5/5 Iqra H. 7 months ago on Google
    I had the pleasure of working with Joe Preston and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. Joe went above and beyond to find the perfect job for me. His professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail were truly exceptional. From our initial conversation, Joe took the time to understand my skills, preferences, and career goals. He not only matched me with a position that aligned perfectly with my qualifications but also provided valuable insights and guidance throughout the entire recruitment process. Joe's communication skills were outstanding; he kept me informed at every step and ensured that I felt confident and well-prepared for interviews. Thanks to his efforts, I landed a job that I'm genuinely excited about and that offers excellent growth prospects. I highly recommend Joe Preston and Vivid Optical to anyone seeking a dedicated and skilled recruiter who genuinely cares about their clients' success. Joe's commitment to finding the right fit for candidates is truly commendable, and I'm grateful for his assistance in helping me advance in my career. Joe is truly an asset to Vivid Optical.

  • 5/5 Lee G. 2 years ago on Google
    I wasn’t sure I was doing the right thing in changing jobs, but Harrison was extremely patient and helpful in finding me just the right position for me! Highly recommend working with Harrison, he is a credit to the company and I couldn’t ask for more. He always kept in contact with me to keep me posted on what was going on, but not in a pushy way at all. He also listened to my needs and wants which so often other recruitment places haven’t. I felt he found the position to suit me not trying to just get me to accept any old job. Thank you!!

  • 2/5 Fraz K. 1 year ago on Google
    As an employer working with Vivid in at the beginning of my interaction was great. Communication was frequent and they were certainly keen. However since then it has come to light that they are only really concerned with getting a deal over the line to secure their fee rather than the longevity of filling the vacancy. It seems before taking on their candidate, all the right things were said but just a matter of weeks into it there were alarm bells, to which I was given many assurances however this unfortunately did not work out. I understand circumstances change and things can be beyond control however, Vivid had an opportunity to make things right, not only because it would have been the right thing to do, but also to maintain a long lasting business relationship. Unfortunately, this was not the case and they chose to take the bureaucratic route over providing good service and maintaining a long lasting client.

  • 5/5 Kirin D. 2 years ago on Google
    The best experience with Owen Thacker helping me secure a job that is right for me. He's keen to get to know you in order to understand what is going to be good for you not only now but in the long run. 100% would recommend him in particular to friends when looking for career changes in the future.

  • 5/5 Man Like S. 2 years ago on Google
    Spoke specifically to Harrison, so I have to comment on my experience with him. Couldn’t be more impressed with how efficient and professional he was. Genuinely worthwhile speaking to Harrison if you’re looking to progress in your career path regardless of how ambitious you are.

  • 5/5 Costas K. 2 years ago on Google
    This is what i call an astonishing service ! From the moment i entered my personal details, i had an e-mail in the next hour and a 1st phone call same day. Moreover, I was suggested a superb position within 2 days, which i accepted. Heads up and congratulations to the team and especially to Roisin Murphy, whose name should be in the dictionary under the term "professionalism"!

  • 5/5 Spenser C. 2 years ago on Google
    Roisin and her crew are the best thing since slice bread! Seriously professional and she found me an amazing job within 3 days...of course I had options within 2 hours but she understood me instantly and knew what would be right....If only I had them for marriage counselling lol. But for real, this was impressive. Now I am going to be leaving the stressful job I am in and start with a professional outfit. It kind of like when Lucy went into the wardrobe and thought she only find coats....and she found Narnia! Maybe Roisin is Aslan? Anyway thanks so much....You have made this Trinidadian ecstatic...without rum! That says a lot.
