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…

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.

It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Rina at Cavendish Maine. From our first conversation, she demonstrated exceptional attentiveness. Her communication was brilliant; she was always responsive and kept me informed every step of the way. Rina went above and beyond, and the personal touch of a handwritten congratulations card after I landed my job was just wonderful. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking a new opportunity.

Absolutely 100% professional. For anyone in need of assistance, I cannot recommend a better company to be in contact with. Quick to respond, roles suited, regular updates etc all come as standard.

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.

Alide Hire Services
I worked with Rina in pursuit of a position I really wanted. The process was fairly lengthy, Rina was supportive and kept me informed at every step. She has a great communication style and guided me along the way until I received an offer. Highly recommend.
