My recent experience with CMA Recruitment Group-Basingstoke in terms of Accountancy jobs has been too good. Hayley Surey and Carol Waters were friendly and helpful. I was pleased to meet them face to face which I liked in understanding each other professionally. They were super responsive and supported in arranging for quick interviews. Loved the way, I used to get regular updates.Everything went on so smooth that it removed pressure off me while searching job. Thank you so much for supporting me in my job search journey. I would recommend Hayley and Carol at CMA.

I recently have been using CMA Basingstoke to look for a new role in the finance industry and have not been let down at all! My main contact was Hayley Surey (although I have spoken to a few members of the team) and I cannot sing their praises enough.I have received several interviews and job offers in a short space of time, with daily check ins from the CMA team and have felt extremely supported throughout what is usually a very daunting experience.I have used other job agencies in the past and they are not a patch on CMA.

If you are looking for work this is a great company to go to. I spoke mainly to Hayley Surey who is amazing. She is really friendly and professional. She treats you like a person and not just a number. Which really made me feel like I had hope, especially during this time. She also gives great advise to help with your job search.I did speak with a couple of other members of CMA and they where also really professional. I will definitely be going back to them if I'm ever in need of a new job.Thank you for all your support during my job search.

CMA really does set apart from other agencies. They make great efforts to see you for who you really are -- rather than just another piece of paper in a box-ticking exercise. This translates to more suitable candidates for employers as well as ideal roles that match the candidate's TRUE profile.My special thanks to Hayley Surey for all her support.
