I have known and worked with Jeanette on recruitment in a number of businesses for over 25 years. She is very thorough and professional in her approach and the team that work with her are friendly and helpful. Jeanette has an extensive knowledge of the recruitment industry and also the recruitment market in Cambridge, which is invaluable in finding the best candidate for the position.
"A Professional Approach" Colin Faiers : Head of Accounting and Finance - Sidney Sussex College -
I have had the pleasure of working with Cavill Robinson on a number of occasions over the past few years and would have no hesitation in recommending them. They provide a very professional service. I am particularly impressed with their methods that ensure that they only put forward carefully selected candidates that meet the selection criteria. Their hands-on approach ensures that they fully understand both the candidates they are putting forward as well as our company, which includes understanding the culture of our organisation and appreciate that this is an important factor.
"They understand the culture of our organisation" James Martin: Head of Finance -The Technology Partnership -
Savills use Cavill Robinson as their preferred agent for recruiting accounts staff because they have a proven record in matching candidates to both the role and the culture of the organisation in which the candidate is being placed.
"A proven track record" Andrew Tucker : Head of Finance - Savills -
Having found the recruitment process more time consuming over the last few years and having had some rather bad experiences with agencies, Cavill Robinson are a refreshing change. They do more than just send CV's, as care is taken from every perspective to make sure they know in detail our requirement and from an applicant's view, what kind of employer we are. Recruitment is a two way process so it is important the "best fit" for both us and potential employees is the focus rather than just sending lots of potentially unsuitable CV's for us to review. Applicants are interviewed and screened prior to being recommended for interview with us thereby making sure we have a considered selection of suitable candidates resulting in our recruitment process being streamlined and efficient. Their approach is always very professional and I am happy to recommend their service to other organisations considering using an agency either now or at some stage in the future.

Having dealt with a few employment agencies, I found Cavill Robinson to be by far the best. Jeanette was professional whilst being very warm and friendly, she had a genuine interest in me as a person as well as a client and I didn’t feel our initial meeting was so much an interview as a chat with a friend. I actually found my new role via the first application I made with Jeanette, she has the know how to present you, both skillset and background wise, in the best and most honest way to the potential employer, so if you’re looking for a new role definitely give Cavill Robinson a call.

I’d like to commend the team at Cavill Robinson for the professional way they have dealt with all aspects of my temporary placements over the last two years. The placements I’ve had over that period have consistently met my requirements; from timespans and income, to ensuring that my levels of experience could be used by Cavill’s clients, making me feel that I made a worthwhile contribution in helping with their immediate needs.

How To Hire Successfully in a Candidate Driven Marketplacet
I recently did three pieces of recruitment for a company, which is about to double its turnover. The recruitment went smoothly. We attracted good candidates for the roles and the client has recruited an excellent team. I am currently working on a number of pieces of recruitment for other companies and they are struggling to recruit. So what is the difference between the successful company and the others. This may seem obvious but the successful one listened to what I said about salary levels and pitched the salaries for their roles in accordance with what candidates want. They then interviewed and made decisions quickly. It's that simple. Let me say this clearly for anyone who is about to recruit - there is no point asking your recruitment consultant what salary you should be paying and then deciding that you know better and you can recruit at a lower salary. Unemployment is under 2% in the local area and in order to attract the good candidates or indeed any candidates, you have to offer them the same or more than they are being paid in their current role. The days of getting people on the cheap, which so many companies did in the long years of recession are well and truly over. In a nutshell then, to recruit successfully: 1) Pitch your salary at a good level 2) Interview VERY quickly 3) Make a decision straight away. Have a good week. Jeanette Robinson
