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.

He was often on hand for questions and always provided clear communication between myself and my now employer. Thanks to his efforts, I am now in a position I’m truly excited about.
