Recruitment Tailored to Your Business
Posted by Steve Thomas , Construction Recruitment Director, UK & Canada on Thursday, September 3, 2026
Recruitment does not always fit neatly into a standard process. You might have one important vacancy to fill, several appointments to make or a senior role where finding the right person requires a more targeted approach.
At Maxim Recruitment, we believe your recruitment partner should be flexible enough to reflect your requirements, rather than expecting every employer to work in the same way.
Flexible recruitment, sensible commercial terms
Our recruitment services can be tailored around the level of support you need, from standard recruitment through to dedicated recruitment and executive search. This allows us to scale our involvement depending on the role, urgency and type of candidate you are looking for.
We also understand that employers want clarity and flexibility when it comes to recruitment fees. Depending on the assignment, we can offer staged payment structures, helping to spread the cost of a recruitment campaign rather than requiring everything to be paid upfront.
For standard recruitment assignments, our fees are linked to a successful appointment, giving you the reassurance that our interests are aligned with yours. For more intensive assignments, different commercial arrangements can be discussed to suit the level of service required.
Recruitment advice, not just CVs
Working with Maxim also gives you access to specialist market knowledge. We provide salary benchmarking and market insight to help you understand whether your proposed package is competitive and what it may take to attract the right candidate.
Our salary surveys and ongoing conversations with construction professionals provide useful context when you are setting salaries, reviewing packages or trying to understand why a vacancy is proving difficult to fill.
Most importantly, our consultants understand the specialist construction market. We assess candidates against both the technical requirements of the role and the personal qualities that will make them a good fit, helping to reduce the time you spend reviewing unsuitable applications.
Looking for a recruitment partner?
Whether you need a Quantity Surveyor, Commercial Manager, Claims Consultant, Project Manager, Clerk of Works or senior construction professional, we can tailor our approach to your requirements.
