We’re continuing to invest in a wide range of formats in order to drive candidate registrations and applications in key towns and cities across the UK and we’re really excited about hitting the airwaves with our brand new national radio campaign!”

CV-Library’s radio advert will be heard over 128.5 million times reaching over 15.4 million people during popular breakfast and drive time shows. Some of the UK’s leading stations will air the advert including Kiss, Capital, Magic, Heart, Smooth and Absolute, as well as key regional stations all over the country. Other key advertising highlights include:
