For over 30 years our specialist team has developed tailored recruitment processes through three models: Contingent Recruitment (broad candidate search with no upfront fee), Retained Search (for senior/niche hires with market mapping and structured search), and Partnership Model (ongoing recruitment support with subscription-style billing). We also provide psychometric testing, interview guidance, and employer branding support. Added-value services include competitor analysis, remuneration comparison, and diversity and inclusion guidance.

Contact us to find out more.

Contingent Recruitment

If you wish to consider a broad range of candidates with a variety of experience in a short timeframe without any upfront financial commitment – this is the solution for you. This search predominantly targets active job seekers, backed up by our LinkedIn network. You can expect us to advertise your role on all suitable ‘job boards’ while actively searching through those databases of registered job seekers. We will approach all suitable candidates on our own database and post the role on LinkedIn which will be visible to thousands of our contacts. Our fee is success based and an invoice is presented once the candidate has started.

Retained Search

In the case of a more senior hire, niche skill set, confidential assignment or when it is time sensitive and when the very best candidate in a specific market is required, then this is the solution you need.

Our Retained Search model is fully tailored, whereby we map out an entire market, identifying and approaching both the passive and active candidates, and putting those through a robust search and selection process. This process not only offers the best possible results, it delivers market insights on the perception of your business, the salary and reward information and how you compare, as well as offering the chance for you to control the message about your business to the market, enhancing your employer brand with the market.

A typical process might be:

Clearly define requirement, delivery dates, candidate profile and company culture.
Define hiring process and strategy.
Market mapping – Identifying competitors and additional talent pools to create a full market map. (The long list)
Initial screening: Quantitative screening, interviews and assessment.
Candidate reporting: Tailored candidate reports related to the long list.
Further assessment: Qualitative assessment of a confirmed shortlist.
Shortlist presentation. Including suitability assessments.
Management of the interview process and candidate resignation.
Assignment review: an open 360 meeting to discuss assignment success.

This model requires a retainer payment at the start of the process and a balancing payment upon the start date.

Partnership Model

If you are a company that is looking to scale up quickly or you have an ongoing need for the same type of recruit, this might be better for you.

This gives you:

A committed recruitment partner, working with you to deliver your recruitment goals, either independently or alongside your existing Talent/Recruitment function.
A committed Account Manager, who will take time to understand your business, your goals, your people and your culture.
A positive, consistent, brand enhancing message delivered to the candidate marketplace, enhancing the company reputation, which is essential in candidate driven markets.
Advice on recruitment best practise, from competitor analysis, remuneration comparison, Diversity and Inclusion support and guidance, to interviewing techniques and feedback delivery (and everything in between).
Monthly and quarterly reviews.

The benefits to you are:

First and foremost, you get our recruitment priority.
We constantly build talent pools for you, in line with your hiring goals.
You are able to hire the people you want, when you need them, whilst spreading the cost over the subscription period.
A reduced time to hire, offering efficiencies throughout the business.
Enhances the employer brand in the market.

Our fees become a subscription style contract for 12 months, billed monthly on a specific day of the month, with the cost of hires spread out over the year, rather than at the point they start.

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
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.

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.
