What People Think
Our clients and candidates share their MDM Resourcing experiences.
When Eric Wright Group had a requirement to make a key hire of a Group Financial Controller who had the potential to quickly step up to Group Finance Director, we wanted to work with an expert who could comb the market for the best and brightest talent. Mike ran an excellent, professional process resulting in an outstanding appointment who has quickly stepped up into the Group Finance Director role as we had hoped. We were delighted with the service Mike provided and I can provide no better testimony than the fact that we have since used him again for another senior finance role with the same success. I can strongly recommend him.
Mike and Dan at MDM have partnered with Radius over a number of years. They have invested time to properly understand the business and the finance team's evolving needs which has enabled them to provide a number of successful high quality senior finance hires across our expanding group - with a high ratio of successful hires to candidates introduced.
We instructed MDM to search for an Associate Director for our Manchester team. MDM followed the brief with great care and dedication, and demonstrated an expert knowledge of the North West Corporate Finance market. The recruitment process was extremely efficient, with a strong short list which enabled us to fill this key position quickly.
Although we have tried other recruitment agencies, for qualified staff we have always completed the recruitment through MDM Resourcing for a number of years, so when we created a new role they were the obvious people to speak to. As this was a new role we didn’t even have a full job specification when I first spoke to Mike but he worked with us and helped us to come up with the role title and salary banding. However what really impressed us was the quality of the candidates he presented. He provided a shortlist of 4, any one of which we’d have taken- in fact we did consider whether we could create an extra role- they were that good. unfortunately we only had the budget for the one role we advertised but, almost a month in, the candidate is delivering exactly what we asked Mike to provide us with. As our team continues to grow, it’s great to know that I won’t have to trawl through mediocre CVs to find the best candidates as MDM do such a great job of matching candidates to roles.
MDM recruited me into an ideal fit as Financial Controller (now Group FC) in a growing SME in my first move into industry. They were highly professional and responsive throughout the process and would certainly recommend them. It was clear that MDM knew their market well having been established for over 20 years, and have maintained a highly personal approach.
A first CFO for LDS was a key leadership appointment for our fast growing business so it was vital that we selected a recruitment partner with an in depth knowledge of the market. One of our NEDs had used MDM successfully in a previous business so he arranged an introduction.
Mike ran an extensive and thorough process resulting in a strong shortlist with a choice of excellent candidates, all of whom met the standard that we were looking for. We have been very happy with the efficiency with which the process was managed and, most importantly, we are delighted with the appointment we have made.
Mike and the team at MDM ran a professional, tailored and thorough search for our CFO. They listened to what we need not just in terms of skills and experience but also in terms of cultural fit. We ended up with a fantastic shortlist, each of whom was excellent in presenting on the business. We are delighted with our chosen candidate who was already fitted in well and made a big difference to our business.
Replacing our retiring Finance Director of 35 years was always going to be a critically important appointment for us so we needed a recruitment partner who could grasp the personal dynamics of our Board as well as the technical skills needed for the role. MDM listened carefully to us, understood us, challenged our thinking and helped us to form a view as to the right kind of character and experience to suit our business and its plans for the future. They then delivered a first class shortlist and supported us through to the appointment of a Finance Director whom we continue to be delighted with. A fantastic customer experience!
My experience of working with MDM when looking for a new role has been fantastic. Their career planning guidance is objective and incredibly useful. Combined with their extensive knowledge of the business and financial landscape in the North West, the service that MDM provide is excellent. These guys go above and beyond and will put your career first; not many recruiters do that. On the back of my experience of working with them, I have recommended MDM to several people and will continue to do so in the future.
MDM placed me in my current role (my 2nd move in industry from practice), which was exactly what I was looking for at that time. They listened to the type of role/business I would be interested in and only contacted me when the right role came up. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to other like-minded professionals.
