I signed up with CMA Bournemouth one month ago after deciding to relocate from London. I worked with Ben Philips on a couple of roles and was quickly able to secure a new finance position through this collaboration. Ben was the model of professionalism throughout our time working together. He took the time to understand my needs as a candidate and consistently provided roles that were relevant to my experience as a finance professional. He was also a strong communicator and always available to answer any questions I had about potential opportunities.I would thoroughly recommend CMA Bournemouth to any finance professionals looking for a new role.

I was looking for a new position and my CV just came across to CMA. They contacted me and I was invited for a face to face interview. It was great, I've been very well received, We had a great chat where I could explain what I was looking for and also had some good advices which made a huge difference. After one week I've got employed again. Ben and Sam were great and supportive. Super thanks :)

I’ve been in contact with so many recruitment consultants during the journey of finding a new role, but rarely do any of them care what I’m exactly looking for. From the beginning I registered with CMA, Moya invited me into their office and had a face-to-face interview to be able to understand what am I after, since then when they contact me for any new opportunities, they’re always spot on. I was looking for a role in finance, Moya, Ben and Sam make a very good team, they’re all trying their best to support me and eventually, they helped me to find my current new role! I can’t thank them enough for the journey along the way and definitely recommend CMA when you’re looking for employment or employees!

Big shout out to Scott Perry. He has just placed me with a firm and the amazing thing is that I wasn't what they were looking for in the first place. With his knowledge and understanding of my CV and skills, together with a good understanding of the employer's business he managed to make this happen. Can't praise him enough for showing complete professionalism throughout the whole process.
