"Jack has supported me throughout my journey at CMC Partners by actively mentoring me to develop my recruitment skills. He consistently checks in daily to see my progress and has ensured I have received high quality training in our applications such as SourceWhale, Bullhorn and LinkedIn Recruiter. This has enabled me to actively engage with clients and produce excellent results."
Harry Hewitson
“The training from CMC supported by the GE Academy, has been key to my rapid development. It led to my first placement within six weeks and set me on a fast track toward management.”
Arran Smith
“The training process is very methodical and strategic where there are growth plans and expectations for me each month and quarter. Rather than being thrown into the deep end, I am eased in making sure I'm taking on as much info as possible, allowing me to implement them into my own line of work. The training is intense but tailored around my personality, strengths and weakness, the morale is always high, and feedback is constructive. The floor is always open for discussions, which highlights how inclusive the training/development is at CMC.
