Testimonials

Maxwell Stephens did a great job! They were incredibly patient and proved my assertion that we needed to look for a different type of agency to fill this position. By some margin the candidates that came from Maxwell Stephens were of better calibre and more suitable for the position and our organisation. They understood very well what we were looking for and provided people who fit that mould.

We needed to replace our Office Manager of 17 years recently and found the team at Maxwell Stephens exceptionally helpful throughout the whole process. We were novices in conducting this sort of search so the team at Maxwell Stephens spent a good period of time with us before looking for candidates to ensure that they had fully captured our requirements and, most importantly, the particular culture of our organisation. The shortlist of candidates that were presented to us were excellent and we actually struggled to narrow down those we wished to interview. I would not hesitate to recommend them in this specialist area.

Having been on both sides of the recruitment process with Maxwell Stephens in the last few years, I have been totally impressed with the team. They fully took on the brief to find an FM that not only had the skillset to deliver a high standard of service, but also have a candidate that fits into our corporate culture. The focus in culture fit was the most difficult to identify, it’s not a qualification, it’s a quality that comes from life experiences, culture and most importantly attitude. To ask a recruiter to source someone better than me was not to difficult! All managers should have the attitude to hire or train staff to be better than themselves. This identifies personal weaknesses, drives quality and productivity. Maxwell Stephens supported BGF to source a FM that more than fitted the brief.

Maxwell Stephens has provided recruitment services to support the search and selection of experienced FM personnel and have completed the recruitment process for me to a high standard each time. I would not hesitate to work with Maxwell Stephens again.

I have known Maxwell Stephens for many years and it is my ‘go to’ recruiter for FM roles. During that time Maxwell Stephens have helped place several candidates into roles I have been recruiting for client side. They have also helped me to personally secure two senior level roles in recent years. They take a very personal interest during the recruitment process which is balanced with their professionalism and constructive feedback/guidance which is critically important. I am very pleased to be able to provide this recommendation for Maxwell Stephens.

Maxwell Stephens have a detailed knowledge and understanding of the FM marketplace and are very well connected. They put forward credible candidates saving time and effort which is often not the case when working with less effective recruiters. Secondly, the team at Maxwell Stephens are extremely personable making the whole process seem less like work.

I have known Maxwell Stephens for many years and have recruited through them on a number of occasions. Peter’s knowledge of the market and ability to present a selection of excellent matches is unrivalled. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Delivered a highly professional service time and again, in an industry often not renowned for actual care and interest in your actual requirements.

Following using a variety of employment agencies in the past I now use Maxwell Stephens for all my recruitment needs from Senior Management to Administration Support. The team at Maxwell Stephens understand our business and not only the skills that are required for the roles, but the type of people. In the past I have dealt with agencies that promise the earth, but do not deliver. With the Maxwell Stephens team we have initial discussions about what we need and then have a structured meeting to discuss the candidates openly. Maxwell Stephens obviously listen to the brief and focus on the detail. A refreshing change to just being sent CVs sporadically which do not seem to have been vetted against our requirements. I would happily recommend Maxwell Stephens to everyone.

I have used Maxwell Stephens for numerous recruitment searches over a number of years and will continue to do so in the future. They take time to fully understand the client’s brief and ensure they vet candidates and put forward only those that meet the criteria. They have an excellent knowledge of the FM market and provide sound advice. I have no hesitation in recommending their work.
