What People Think
Our clients and candidates share their MDM Resourcing experiences.
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.
Manchester United have used MDM for several years, primarily to source qualified finance professionals. MDM have an established reputation in the North West finance market and are diligent and discreet in the service they provide to both clients and candidates, all of which are important to us.
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.
Recruiting new people provides us with the best opportunity to improve our team but it is also risky, as a bad hire can have completely the opposite effect. Therefore the choice of recruitment consultant is one of our biggest decisions. We have used MDM extensively, partly owing to their intimate knowledge of the North West market, but more importantly because of the long standing relationship we have and the trust this relationship has fostered. Assignments have included a full and highly successful search for a Group Financial Controller and numerous other qualified finance roles. MDM challenged our pre-conceptions and tailored the searches to our needs. Our recruits have without exception been excellent hires. We will be working together again in the future.
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.
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.
I was introduced to MDM over 15 years ago, when looking for a new role, and have stayed in touch ever since. Apart from having a great knowledge of the North West market, and countless contacts, the main reason for trusting Mike and Daniel, as both a candidate and when recruiting, is their dedication to matching the right person with the right role. You are respectfully treated as a person with a career, rather than just another CV in the pile, which is unfortunately rare in the field of recruitment. Over the years, I have called on their advice numerous times, and I know I will always get a truthful and solid opinion. Mike and Daniel absolutely deserve the great reputation they have!
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.
I needed a recruiter who would find me the best talent in the market with the minimum of fuss. MDM listened to the brief and enhanced it through their knowledge of the market, then delivered me a small handful of candidates of a consistently high calibre, all of whom were a good fit. What a luxury! We made a great appointment and MDM is a business I trust and would not hesitate to use again.
Mike and Dan at MDM have partnered with Radius over a number of years.
