Alastair Beard – Senior Health Project Leader

I believe that Maven were keen to understand my needs and match me to the right role. They were impressively quick in getting me a first interview for a job in Adelaide. However when it was clear that, although it would have been a very good position, it was perhaps not the best job for me, they very quickly identified this and looked for other positions on my behalf. This led to a further interview that resulted in an offer of employment which I have accepted.

Based on my experience it appears that they must have a good knowledge of the market in order to successfully match the candidate to the job and in a relatively short time.

Maven exceeded my expectations in finding me the right role and as noted above relatively quickly.

I am very happy to recommend Maven.


Marcus Leraci – Design Architect

Their ability to understand what I had to offer and to place that against a potential employer and facilitate communications was effective and highly professional throughout.

The fact that they don’t have a revolving door of employees and employers, that their business is built on relationships and that their placements are highly targeted make them like no other recruitment agency.

[Would you recommend Maven?] “Absolutely, I have already.


Andy Bancroft - Design Architect

I didn't exactly select Maven, they approached me. I was impressed by the personal approach, which gave me a level of comfort that the proposal could be a good fit.

Maven got me out of a role I'd been in for too long, and provided opportunities to broaden my experience.

Maven appeared to work hard to strike a balance between my personal requirements and those of my future employer.


Alex York - Associate

I was recommended the Maven Group by someone I trust.

They have a sincere and professional investment in my career aspirations.

I would definitely recommend them.


Richard Hart - Associate

The understanding of my needs was second to none - throughout the process I was listened to, questioned with relevant questions, which made me engage with them in far greater detail than I had with previous agencies.

It's clear that they have a great deal of knowledge and experience in their target market, as the practice's I ended up speaking to personally, all fulfilled the criteria I set The Maven Group.

[Would you recommend Maven?] “I already have and I will continue to do so.


Robert Titterton - Project Leader

Moving from one company to another is not a task I have much experience in. Wanting to do so, I asked friends – they recommended Maven.

Health portfolio work is my field. Not many people know much about it. Whether or not Dean Dewhirst knew much about it when we first spoke is unclear and unimportant to me. By the time we met a week later he was up to speed on who was doing what, what stage they were at and what their present and upcoming needs were. Impressive.

Not having much experience with ‘the rest’, I can only note the characteristics which I valued in Maven. Discretion. Tact. Neither over nor underselling selling. Keeping the contact fresh and moving.


Yvonne Fong - Architect

[Is there anything in particular that sets Maven apart from the rest?] “I believe it is a young team and will keep developing its long term relationship with architects, not the corporate big agency which forget individual story or lost their track in long term.


Malcolm Stroud - Fitout Database Manager

An advertisement by an associated company in the UK put me through to Maven. Maven were the most committed and persisted until they secured me a position. The others lost interest after a few weeks.

Maven were very committed indeed. They took great care to understand me and my situation, and wanted me to demonstrate my own commitment.

I had many reassuring conversations with Maven over a long, anxious period.

They found me a job I love doing.

[What sets Maven apart from the rest?] “Commitment to the individual.


Kathleen Estoesta – Graduate Architect

I highly rate Maven’s technical expertise, market knowledge, processes and professional protocols. I felt their agents were well informed about the current market.

Maven was more dedicated to my case compared to the other agencies.

Maven was very committed and fully delivered to my expectations.
