Working with Max as a candidate, actually meant first and above all, communicating on a human level, understanding needs and expectations and fulfilling them in the best possible manner, whilst taking into consideration the values and attributes that I had as well as the needs and requirements the client had.
Max is a highly accomplished professional recruiter, with all the seriousness, capability and effectiveness of a high caliber professional, whereas simultaneously, is the friend that someone could have, if they knew each other for many years.
He makes you feel very comfortable throughout the whole approach and recruitment process and simultaneously drives the case to the best result smoothly, with full accuracy and predictability.
I'd definitely recommend Max to any serious professional trying to find the same virtue in a recruiter and I really hope he'll be active for many years to come, so that we'll have many more contracts coming and successfully fulfilled, together.
I started working with Max in May 2024 to fill a key position at Parkwind. He quickly arranged two interviews, which led to me securing the role. The process was smooth and efficient, and Max has continued to provide great support since then.
Max and JDR have provided a great service, always available to answer any questions or deal with any issues I had with the umbrella company. And checked in with me to make sure I was happy with the closure of any issues. Timesheets were always approved in good time and invoices raised without any problems, meaning I got paid on time as expected. Team was always very friendly and proactive in trying to do the best for me, especially when it came to negotiating an uplift to my day rates for onsite and offshore working. Dealing with the client directly on my behalf. Occasional calls just to chat and ensure that I was happy in my placement also gave me a feeling that I was valued.
My experience working with Max Jones was very positive. Unlike most recruiters who simply forward your CV to the client and later inform you whether you were hired or not, Max was truly engaged throughout the entire process. At times, it felt like he was the one getting hired — that’s how committed he was! He explained everything down to the smallest detail, was proactive in offering advice to improve my chances, and remained transparent and honest at every step. Thanks to his dedication and support, I was ultimately hired by DEME. I genuinely believe that at least 50% of the success in landing the job was due to Max’s effort, guidance, and proactive attitude.
