Testimonials

Richard Edwards

Director, Expand

I rarely give recommendations, in fact I think since 2002 this might be my first. This probably says a lot about the level of service we have received from the Project Management team who have provided constant support throughout our engagement with Bold. They have been pivotal in helping us navigate a very tricky process with too many stakeholders who had very different ideas and challenging expectations. Every time we were jumping off the bus they gently nudged us back on, sat us down and made sure we were comfortable with the journey. Without them we would never have arrived at what is an amazing destination. I would wholeheartedly recommend Bold to anyone.

Joe Gregory

Director, Think Legal

Thank you to Bold for everything! I have to say in any context of all of the suppliers we have worked with in the last six years, Bold stands head and shoulders above. Absolutely nailed what we were looking for and delivered to the highest standard.

Chris Cayley

Director, Cyan Partners

I want to say a big thank you to the team at Bold for all the hard work they put in to our new branding and website. It's been a lot of fun working with everyone and I'm personally grateful for all the patience, support and understanding throughout the project. Now that it's out there and we're seeing it on LinkedIn, on email and so on it's really exciting and I'm so proud of it!

Ross Summers

CEO And Founder, Keepers

We recently rejuvenated our branding and next on the list going into 2022 was to partner with a web development agency to build us a new site. After some great consultations with Bold, we decided they were the best option for the Keepers brand. They brought our ideas to life. Taking our new branding and incorporating it into a snappy and punchy four-page website. Can’t thank the team enough for how easily they catered to our requirements and helped us arrive at the outcome (which we weren’t entirely sure what that looked like at the beginning)! We’re over the moon!

Adrian Kinnersley

Founder, twentyAI

Twenty embarked on a total rebrand to bring our proprietary tech to the front and centre of our brand. We knew we’d be a pain in the *** to deal with due to our ludicrous expectations and therefore looked for a partner that could manage us and meet those expectations. As part of the rebrand, we didn’t want a traditional looking recruitment website but also needed to hit all the key aspects such as a CRM integrated job board. We threw some additional curveballs into the mix with our international locations and needed some content to be the same and some localised. We also wanted a mascot for our AI tech. Bold patiently took us through a discovery process and introduced us to copywriters alongside their designers to ensure the language and visuals were all on point. I’m still not totally certain how we arrived at the end product but we are very happy with it and proud that our brand is now an accurate representation of our business, our tech and most importantly our people. I think we may have knocked a few years off some of the team's life at Bold but it was all worth it (for us anyway)!

Dan Perkin

Director, Spark

I wanted to undergo a full rebrand for my company - business name and all. I felt the need to bring some excitement to the sales recruitment process due to the notion it has too many of it not being an attractive role because of its high level of staff turnover. Bold helped me execute it to a tee. Spark - the clue is in the name! In view of the fact that I wanted to signify our prowess in one of the most difficult roles to fill on the job market, rather than have listings on the site like other sales recruiters, I felt the key objective of the site for me was to inspire visitors to get in touch with their potential clients, so we could continue our mission of bringing excitement to the sales recruitment process (it is sales after all)! What better way to show that enthusiasm and expertise than to speak directly with those scratching their heads looking for a different approach to their long-term reoccurring problem. Bold understood all of this from the get-go which gave me so much faith for the project as soon as we got out the blocks which was only proven by how much impact the new site and rebrand has been since we launched. I can't thank the team at Bold enough!

Laura Quinn

Business Support Manager, Burman

We were initially introduced to the brand and strategy team who were amazing, he came up with all our branding identity and looked at things in a way that we had not experienced before and gave us a total refresh. We were then passed over to the project management team and couldn’t praise them enough. They are always responsive, very personable and always reply to my emails very quickly and happy to set up a call whenever I have a question. We are also working on a new project with Bold, we wouldn’t go anywhere else. They look further into audience perception than any other company that just pick some colours and random imagery and just pop it on a page and this improved our user experience massively. They had a lot of ideas and gave us everything we were looking for. In the design process, they were happy to make all edits and are still always happy to help now post-launch. We have enjoyed working with Bold so much we enlisted them for a new project! They feel like a part of our team and they get our brand which was important to us from the beginning.

Director, Odd Shoes

Well what can I say about the project managers for my new website, client portal, talent vault and client microsites project. They helped me navigate a very complex process with the minimum of fuss, no request was too small. They were patient, fun to talk to and ultimately delivered exactly what I had in my head, which was one of the proudest moments of my life. Couldn't recommend Bold enough. So great. www.oddshoes.net will tell you why I'm so happy!

I always seek out the best when I need help and Bold are exactly that. The brand strategy guys were a pleasure to work with when we kicked off our rebranding project. They made the process of digging deep into who we are and what we stand for easy and a lot of fun. We’ve now got a solid proposition we’re proud of and can shout about. You knocked it out of the park! The project management team carried us through the build of our new website and they too knocked it out of the park! Exceeded my expectations and some. Great people, very friendly and really know their stuff. Working with them was a dream. They just 'got' what I was doing and what I wanted.

Graft is 3 years old now and we needed a website to reflect our Grafters and Community. We stayed true to our believes of using northern talent and we selected the awesome Bold Identities. I met Rich Evans (Bold Director) whilst I was setting up Graft Talent 3 years ago and promised when I could afford too I would be back to use Bold. I stuck to my promise Rich!

Partner, Talisman

Talisman engaged with the Bold team to help us build our brand strategy and website. The team did a fantastic job over the three months we worked together. The project management team was available throughout the website build process, managing the development team very effectively and serving as a conduit for the Talisman team's feedback and fine-tuning. The end product met the brief and was executed to a high degree of professionalism. I would highly recommend the team at Bold - thank you!

Tom Johnson

Marketing Manager, Stopgap

We engaged Bold well over a year ago with tentative thoughts on developing our website inline with some brand updates. Despite the build phase of the project being interrupted somewhat by COVID-19 once we were into the build fully and led by the Tech Lead and the Technical PM, again the experience was brilliant. Our technical set up is quite complex, with a very bespoke integration required and the Bold team took as long as was needed to really understand the requirements and technical features. No website build is ever smooth, but I can't recommend the Bold team enough, not only do they know their stuff but they are lovely guys, very down to earth and great to work with. We're looking forward to a really great ongoing relationship!

Adam Matthews

Managing Director, Discover International

Bold did a fantastic job with our website! We were not the easiest client, changing our minds several times, but the Bold team were infinitely patient and extremely responsive.

Brilliant quality and value for money, I would recommend to everyone and anyone. Thanks Bold!

Bold and the team were terrific to work with. They helped me hone my brand's vision in a meaningful way and sharpened my thinking around what it means to build a brand altogether.

So many web design agencies to choose from, but after a few calls, felt Bold would be able to deliver on what I wanted. Good communication and happy with the final product.

Michael Blackburn

Managing Director, Impact Search

Bold have been amazing to work with helping me set up my recruitment business from a digital perspective. Time was of the essence as I needed to launch in a short period of time. I opted for their "start-up" package as I had to consider budget due to start-up costs and I'm extremely impressed by the service given, quick turnaround and the quality and functionality of the launched website. Alongside the website, I'm utilising their "Talent Vault" technology to help promote the candidates that I'm representing. I'm already seeing good results and generating new client leads with this technology. All in all, I couldn't recommend Bold enough!

Managing Director, Contact Point Resourcing

From the very first interaction with Bold I found them to be very honest and open and a pleasure to deal with. I feel that in taking my brief they have captured everything I requested and more. They guided me through the process of what they required and patiently explained things to me when my technical knowledge faltered. The end result is that I am truly delighted with the website. It's modern and fresh, has an intuitive layout and has all of the technology required for multi postings. I would recommend their services to other Recruitment companies.

Deb Pettingill

Managing Director, Proftech Talent

Bold were with us from the start of setting up our new specialist recruitment business in May 2017. We looked at several website businesses but Bold stood out for us because of their experience of working within our industry - they have worked with us consistently since then and have updated and improved the website since inception. The beauty of working with specialists within our industry is that they already know what functionalities you need as a recruiter - we felt with other companies, we were having to explain how we work - they already knew. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend - thanks to all at Bold.

Furthermore, they are fantastic value for money.

After lots of research into the website developers world, what we would get, how much it would cost and what constituted ROI we engaged with Bold. The team helped us go through a rebrand which had time constraints as well as concept design and implementation challenges.

Marketing And Communications Manager, Mattinson Partnership

We worked with Bold for the creation of our new website following a full rebrand - and they were an absolute joy to work with. Following quite a stressful experience with our previous developers, we were on the lookout for someone new who 1) would understand and creatively interpret our new brand and image, 2) be accessible and easy to work with and, 3) sit within our budget. BOLD ticked all of these boxes. Not only were they all of the above but their follow up and continued support following the sites live date has been thorough and greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Bold team to anyone recruitment consultancy looking for a fresh new site, with an easy platform and an even more accommodating team to work with.

I had an amazing experience with the Bold team. In developing a new brand for our construction division we wanted to get away from "cookie cutter" mold of what the most website in our industry looked like. After speaking with Bold and working with the team it became evident that they were the obvious choice for this task. They brought a fresh perspective from development to aesthetics, they are highly accommodating and just great people to work with. It was a relief to see how they worked their process worked around our needs. They were able to handle some fairly complex integrations and are always available and very willing to help with tweaks here when needed.

Toby Woolf

Managing Director, Luton Bennett

With the mission of taking our website from one of the worst to one of the best in the industry, I needed to source a digital partner that was up to the task. Needing a specialist, I began speaking with lots of businesses specifically in the recruitment website design industry. I spoke with big and small companies and didn’t consider budget in the process. It was about getting a partner that understood what I needed to achieve from the site, was innovative and could add value to my ideas – that was how I found the amazing team at BOLD! The team at Bold managed a full bespoke website creation and a brand identity refresh for us here at Luton Bennett. From the get go it was obvious that I had made the right decision! I love everything that they have done for us. From initial briefing to launch, working with the team at BOLD has been a great experience. The team are extremely good at what they do from project management to design and development and they made the process fun! I'd highly recommend Bold to any recruitment firm looking for a digital partner (except other engineering recruitment agencies)!

Managing Director, Talent Crew

For our www.talentcrew.co.uk brand refresh and new website, we researched many potential suppliers plus a wider network of recruitment companies that had recently done the same. Bold Identities came highly recommended as the “go-to” digital agency to develop bespoke recruitment websites by many and just seemed like they would be easy to work with whilst listening to our input and ideas. The whole team were great to deal with from the initial discovery phases through to design and development. The process was well structured and allowed us to concentrate on what we do best… recruit. If you’re looking for a digital partner then I definitely recommend talking with the team at Bold. Thank you guys!

When we started looking at our brand and website rebuild we reviewed a number of possible providers and decided to choose Bold due to their open and flexible approach with a great product and additional options such as Microsites which really worked for our business.
