CMR have always been brilliant for me

CMR have always been brilliant for me. Whenever we have a role they take the time to understand our needs and provide us a candidate that fits the description. They really understand our industry and this shows with the candidates they work with.

The team at CMR have also hosted excellent webinars and events which have proven really useful to both myself and the company.

We recently worked with Josh Bramhall…

We recently worked with Josh Bramhall and CMR to hire a new Sales Director, and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Josh is an absolute pleasure to work with, personable, professional, and incredibly easy to get along with. But what really sets him apart is his deep understanding of the sector and the effort he puts into learning about your business. He’s not just looking to fill a vacancy; he genuinely wants to find the right person for your company.

Throughout the process, Josh was consultative and insightful. He gave honest feedback, asked the right questions, and quickly got to grips with what matters to us – not just on paper, but culturally too.

He delivered strong candidates, but more importantly, he stayed close throughout and was focused on the long-term outcome, not just the placement.

In an industry where it can be hard to cut through the noise, Josh brings real knowledge and a calm, credible approach. We’ve come away with a great hire and a long-term recruitment partner.

Would 100% work with him again.

Jake doesn’t stop until you’ve found the perfect fit for you.

Was having a lot of trouble with my recent employer and a lot of recruiters were turning me down as I needed more study experience. Upon explaining my situation to Jake he has worked non stop to find the perfect opportunity for me and I couldn’t be more grateful. If you are looking for a recruiter then make sure you reach out to CMR. I couldn’t thank Jake enough!

Josh and the team are truly exceptional! They really do go above and beyond and are so much more than a “recruiter”. Josh is a genuinely helpful guy who helps develop strategy and is a great sounding board! He really knows this industry m!

Can’t thank Josh and his team enough for all of the help and support. He was fantastic. Kept me updated.

This is the 2nd time I have worked with Josh and both times he has been absolutely fantastic.

Sourced a job role
Helped with prep. (Outside of 9-6 hours)

I start the role 1st of July and couldn’t be happier.

Thank you so much CMR

Luke is an exceptionally warm

Luke is an exceptionally warm, helpful, and dedicated professional. From the very beginning, he was thorough, communicative, and genuinely supportive. He reached out to me about the opportunity, guided me through every step of the process, and made sure I was well-prepared at each stage. His transparency, professionalism, and approachable nature made the entire experience seamless and reassuring. What truly set him apart was the personal touch he brought to the process — something that’s increasingly rare in today’s job market. I'm incredibly grateful for his support and can’t recommend him highly enough.

A huge thank you to Josh

A huge thank you to Josh. I was looking for the next chapter in my career and reached out to Josh having heard great things from a friend.

After I explained what I was looking for, he was extremely patient and took the time to understand my circumstances (both professional and personal) and knew exactly what I was seeking - and why. Rather than rush the process and throw my CV out there, he took the time to identify the right opportunities.

Josh kept me updated throughout the process - from initial contact to arranging interviews and having general catch ups. Messages were always replied to quickly and professionally, and he's helped me find an exciting role with a fantastic company.

Using CMR has changed my perception of recruitment when personally seeking a roe via an agency. Having had some frustrating exchanges with different companies earlier in my career, CMR has far exceeded my expectations. I never thought I'd become good pals with the chap who found me a new job!

Next time in you're in London - let me know, as I owe you a beer!

Recruitment process with Luke from CMR

I dealt with Luke from CMR and from start to finish he was professional and friendly. He was helpful and informative in every aspect of the process, from initially outlining the opportunity to supplying crutial interview prep and a courtesy call afterwards asking how things went. He was always just a text or phone call away for any questions I had.
Thanks for everything Luke👍🏿

Great company, great service.

Having known Josh for a number of years, when it came to looking for our first employee he was the first person we spoke to. He not only handled the role but gave us some advice and further understanding about the hiring process and steps we needed to take to ensure the business was ready to make our first hire. After those initial discussions Josh put us in touch with Luke who was an excellent resource not only in terms of finding candidates but also helping us with some bits and pieces around the interview, finding suitable locations and ensuring the process was as smooth as possible, from interviews, candidate feedback all the way through the offer. Can’t recommend both Josh and Luke enough whether it’s your 1st or 101st hire. Great lads and a world class service.

Highly recommend!

I had a great experience working with Joshua at CMR Recruitment Agency. He approached me with a job opportunity that perfectly matched my skills and interests, and I was immediately interested. Throughout the process, he was very supportive, checking in on me before and after the interview and keeping me updated on everything. His help in preparing for the interview was invaluable, and I truly appreciate his dedication. Thanks to Joshua, I landed a fantastic job within a week! Highly recommend!

Yet to disappoint…

I’ve been working with Josh since he started CMR, and he has consistently helped me fill most of my senior roles. Unlike other recruitment agencies I’ve worked with in the past, Josh never just sends over candidates for the sake of it. He takes the time to ensure each candidate he presents is genuinely a good fit for both the role and our organisation. He knows exactly what we look for in a candidate outside of the minimum requirements. I’m very happy with every candidate I’ve interviewed and hired through Josh, and I’ve had a positive experience every step of the way. Keep up the great work Josh 👌
