What a fantastic recruiter Josh is

What a fantastic recruiter Josh is. He did what a good recruiter should do and actually listened to what I want out of my next role. Josh didn't try and put me in any job that he needed to fill but came back to me with a job he knew I would be interested in and the right fit for.
He is very professional, friendly and approachable. It's been a pleasure working with Josh and thank you for your hard work when it came to securing me my next job. I'm very excited for my next chapter. Thank you!

One of the good ones

I've known Josh for nearly a decade, initially working together, then as suppliers in our respective businesses. Throughout all these years, Josh has consistently demonstrated honesty, integrity, and a remarkable work ethic. Since he started CMR, his commitment to building strong, lasting relationships has been nothing short of exceptional. Josh is truly one of the good ones in the industry, and I highly recommend him and his services.

Josh helped me secure exactly the role I was looking for! After speaking to Josh & explaining what I wanted in my next career journey he found me everything I wanted moving forwards.

I would highly recommend Josh when looking for your next role.

I recently had the pleasure of working…

I recently had the pleasure of working with Josh to fill the position of Commercial Director. From the outset, Josh took the time to thoroughly understand our specific needs and the unique requirements of the role. His attention to detail and commitment to finding the right fit for our organisation was evident throughout the process.

Josh presented us with a well-curated list of candidates who matched our job description, showcasing his ability to identify talent effectively. What truly impressed us was his initiative to headhunt a wildcard candidate, which turned out to be a brilliant move. This candidate not only met our expectations but exceeded them, bringing a fresh perspective and extensive experience to the table.

Josh's professionalism, expertise, and personalised approach made the recruitment process smooth and efficient. We are thrilled with our new Commercial Director appointment and grateful for Josh's invaluable assistance in making this happen. I highly recommend his services to any organisation looking for top-notch recruitment support. Thank you, Josh!

Josh was the first person I spoke to when I was searching for my next role. Turns out, I didn't need to look any further. Josh listened to what I was looking for and less than 24hrs later delivered my dream role.

The interview went extremely well with Josh guidance and support. I was offered the job I wanted at the end of the interview which was a dream come true and can't thank him enough.

Josh is the ideal person to have in your arsenal if you're searching for your next role.

Josh was great from start to finish!

He helped me secure a new role and was in constant contact with me with updates, and was working around the clock to get the deal done. Even when the role was secured, he was in contact to wish you luck and checking in to see how things are going. A top bloke and would definitely recommend.

CMR… Outstanding!

I cant recommend and rate Josh / CMR highly enough. I've known and worked with Josh for a number of years in varying capacities. He's extremely knowledgeable, diligent and detail oriented.
Having successfully just knocked it out the park by filling a key strategic hire for us, I'm sure it wont be long before we'll be making use of his extensive market network for future hires. Whether you're looking for a new role or looking for a new hire, you wont go wrong with Josh. Highly recommended!

Josh is brilliant 👏🏼 the best!

Josh is brilliant! Helped me secure a new role and was with me all the way, wishing me the best of luck for interviews. He was always there for me to speak to out of normal working hours as well, which I appreciated so much as sometimes it’s difficult to speak to someone when you are in a full time role. Some recruitment agencies are only there to speak to until 5pm, but Josh was always happy to speak to at any time!

I can’t recommend Josh enough!

Thank you so much!!!

Levels in business

Having worked with Josh for several years it is no surprise that he has provided for RFS at the same levels I am used to with Josh. We struggled to find a candidate in the market and Josh has met if not exceeded our expectations which as I have mentioned is no surprise. We will definitely use him again moving forward.
