What our clients and candidates say

Karen, thank you for all your help. It's really appreciated, and it's been so refreshing to encounter someone who's been so dedicated to helping achieve both our desired end results from the recruitment process. I have come across recruiters who are great at making grand claims about what they're going to do for you, but then when it comes to that all-important final result, just leave things to chance. Your approach with me has been thorough from the start, so once again thank you for your help and for backing me with some helpful advice.

I have worked with Cavendish Maine on many placements and they always get it just right in terms of 'a good fit' for our business. They really understand how we work and what candidates would suit our needs but also from the candidates perspective that our business would be a good fit for them. Cavendish Maine are always completely professional, responding to our communications with speed and diplomacy. I would highly recommend them.

Nick is highly professional and skilled at what he does. Used Nick various times for senior sales focused roles and he has consistently nailed it! He acts with pace, but always ensures quality isn’t compromised by pace. Communication with me is always spot on - regular updates with the perfect level of detail and not taking up time unnecessarily. Would highly recommend.
