Moving from working as an Engineer on-site to a Delay Analyst role was a big step and Maxim were able to guide me through the process smoothly. Nilam was very attentive, knowledgeable, and professional throughout. She was able to promptly answer any questions I had or was able to pass them on to the relevant people without hesitation. She kept me very well informed from the start and made contact before interviews to ensure I was prepared and after to understand how they went. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity Maxim presented me and to Nilam for her efforts and genuine enthusiasm for me starting a new phase of my career.

W.W. | Delay Senior Associate | October 2024

Nilam and the Maxim Recruitment team have been exceptional, really supporting me through the whole process, providing insights and advice throughout, and helping me navigate a change in career direction as seamlessly as possible. I felt they were truly on my side throughout the whole process, and would happily recommended them to anyone else looking for a new role.

K.A. | Quantum Senior Associate | October 2024

Trying to navigate the best time to move from a Quantity Surveyor role into the world of construction disputes can be a challenging endeavour. If you are like me, you might not have any idea where to start. That is how I found Maxim Recruitment who showed me the way in which I could make the transition. The guidance and support I received from Nilam was absolutely fantastic and I can confidently say I would not have been able to make the transition without her support. Her knowledge from the type of firm to the role and all the information I needed to make the successful transition was immeasurable. Having only three years’ experience as a QS but with a keen interest in Construction disputes paired with the guidance of Nilam secured my role as an Associate with a world leading construction disputes consultancy. Although I was a little apprehensive at first having only three years’ experience as a QS, my opinion is that it has enabled me to start with an open view and an eagerness to learn in this niche industry. The one piece of advice I would give those of similar experience (or lack of) is that if you are interested, willing to learn and certain this is the area you wish to work in then do not wait - you could make the transition sooner than you think!

She gives good advice and keeps me updated all the time. I know she put a lot of effort into helping me get this position, and I’m grateful for her hard work.

Y.M. Canada Professional Quantity Surveyor | July 2024

We have used Maxim for the majority of our recruitment over the past 15 or so years. During that time, Richard and Steve have provided outstanding service. They take great care to understand the business and role, enabling them to accurately screen and identify suitable candidates who accurately match our requirements. They have an extensive international network which they use to good effect. The staff we have recruited through them have proven an excellent match for our organisation. I would wholeheartedly recommend them for construction and construction dispute recruitment.

I look forward to collaborating with Steve and the Maxim team again in the future. Once again, I want to thank you for helping me secure my new position.

R.S. | Senior Quantity Surveyor | December 2023

As a newcomer to Canada, it was difficult for me to search for a job without having local experience. Not only did Daria at Maxim Recruitment respond quickly to me after applying for the job on their platform, but also she was very professional, giving me tips and information useful for my job interview preparation. After their client made me a job offer, she and her colleague helped answer my questions in a professional manner. Therefore, I am very grateful.

J.C. | Cost Consultant, Canada | December 2023

Richard from Maxim Recruitment first reached out to me whilst I was in UK with a great job opportunity in Hong Kong. Prior to the interview, Richard provided good insight about the company and condition of the industry and reassured me the role was a great fit. He matched each of the key skills against the JD which captured my interest. Having been offered the position, Richard negotiated the package on my behalf and secured a 12% uplift to the original offer to ensure my acceptance. I experienced very professional and efficient execution of their services and I have no hesitation in working with Richard and Maxim Recruitment should the opportunity arise in the future.
