What our clients and candidates say

After a challenging 7-month job search after graduating, I was fortunate to connect with Karen Cummins at Cavendish Maine. From our first conversation, Karen truly listened to what I was looking for and remained supportive, proactive, and focused throughout the process. Thanks to her dedication and insight, I secured exactly the role I had been hoping for. I couldn’t recommend Karen more highly — she made all the difference in the end and I cannot thank her enough.

I have had the pleasure of working with Cavendish Maine as both a candidate and a client and I would recommend the Cavendish Maine team without hesitation. Their approach differs in as much as they truly seek to understand the brief and ensure the candidate and client’s needs are aligned.

Our Cavendish Maine consultant is highly professional and skilled at what he does. Used him various times for senior sales focused roles and he has consistently nailed it! He acts with pace, but always ensures quality isn’t compromised. Communication with me is always spot on – regular updates with the perfect level of detail and not taking up time unnecessarily. Would highly recommend. Sales & Marketing Director – Harbro Ltd
