Connections Recruitment Consultants A brand to match all ambitions

Connections Recruitment Consultants In the increasingly sophisticated recruitment sector, Connections needed an edge in the market and a focus for their team. They asked us for a new brand centred on a big idea. Our solution tapped straight into the values and ambition of three core audiences. ‘Ambitions matched’ has instant appeal for clients, candidates and employees alike; meanwhile the contemporary visual identity is alive with connections. Integrated across all company communications, the new identity focuses the business strategy around a vibrant brand strategy: Connections_reinvented.

Connections Responsive platforms

Connections Responsive platforms Recognising that candidates would need to view vacancies on personal (and private) devices, we designed a responsive website offering full functionality across desktop, tablet and mobile. We also developed an application programming interface (API) to handle the exchange of information between information systems and the new website. This link ensured that vacancies were published instantly. A new MyConnections area was introduced, speeding up the application process by allowing candidates to save and quickly submit up to date information and CVs. Job wishlists and application history were the finishing touches for an easily manageable application process.

Connections Environmental branding

Connections Client testimonial Right from the start VGROUP understood we were a B2B services business looking not only to define our brand but also to communicate this through distinctive visual identity. Every step of the way from defining exactly what deliverables we could expect through to a passionate involvement in the finished designs, the team shone. I’d have no hesitation in recommending VGROUP and hope to work together in the future. Henry Wellesley-Davies Head of Operations and Major Accounts Connections
