Testimonial

“I recently transitioned into the construction disputes sector, and Nilam played a key role in making the move go smoothly. From the very start, she was approachable, professional, and genuinely took the time to understand my career goals and what I was hoping to achieve. Her friendly and proactive approach made a real difference throughout the process, and the interview preparation she provided was incredibly valuable in helping me perform my best. I am very grateful to Nilam and the team at Maxim Recruitment in helping me secure my new role, I couldn’t have done it without them.”
