Testimonials

I had a really positive experience working with Nilam during my transition into a Consultant role. As I was moving into a new field, there were moments of uncertainty, but Nilam was consistently reassuring and helped me recognise how my existing skills aligned with the role. She provided practical, easy-to-apply suggestions to tailor my CV, which gave me the best chance of success during the initial selection. Her guidance through each stage of the interview process, along with regular check-ins, made the experience smooth and well-supported. Nilam also took the time to ensure the role and company were a strong fit, which I really appreciated. Her professionalism, reliability, and thoughtful approach made a real difference throughout the process.

After deciding to relocate to Toronto from the UK I was relieved to have Steve helping with my job search. From the beginning he was keen to understand my specific requirements and was great at managing expectations and remaining fully transparent throughout the whole process. I ended up with a role that was very well suited to what I was looking for and Steve has remained in contact since I started the new role to check in, which was very much appreciated. I would definitely recommend Steve to anyone looking for a new role.

As a young Quantity Surveyor enthusiast, I was in pursuit of new, exciting projects to be a part of. I was in a constant search to find a project that utilises the latest and advanced construction methods, until I came across Maxim Recruitment. Bhumika, found the perfect project for me where I fit in like a glove. She played a pivotal role in my transition from South Africa to Barbados, in the Caribbean Islands. Despite the time difference among all parties involved, Bhumika showed effective communication and was literally a call away to resolve any uncertainties. With that said, I highly recommend Maxim Recruitment to other vibrant Quantity Surveyors.

Nilam first spoke to me about the role a year in advance. Despite this long time horizon, I felt listened to. When the time finally came to apply, the company did not mobilise as quickly as all parties had envisaged, however, whenever I contacted Nilam for updates, she was always very responsive and did her best given the circumstances. In the end, the job that Nilam suggested came to fruition and I am very happy in the role. I would confidently recommend Nilam to others in my network as she has great personal skills and a large network of contacts within the niche construction claims and disputes industry.

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!

C.S. Quantum Associate | September 2024
