John Rutherford. Sales Manager Ireland

Rational AG
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.

Rina you have been amazing, from the initial phone call I felt you had my best interest at heart! Recruitment agencies get a lot of bad press and I have to agree the majority I have dealt with recently are not great!! Finding yourself unexpectedly out of work is one of the most stressful times, especially in the current job market. You need someone to help and give you the confidence to navigate this tough time. The simple things like returning your phone calls, acknowledging an email and just treating you with respect seems to be lost these days. Rina…

Key Account Manager
Nick is the most professional but also friendly recruiter I have ever worked with. Nick goes above and beyond, as a recruiter, he communicates brilliantly and has a real empathy with his clients. I would highly recommend using Nick to find you the perfect job as he has with me. Thank you for everything Nick!

Sarah Edwards

National Account Manager
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

Harbro
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.
