A very professional recruitment agency .. responsive , and always happy to help. Have had a few contracts over the years and to be honest there has not been one issue, payroll is spot on and always paid on time or earlier than expected. The staff are great and I couldn't ask for a better bunch to work for. Thanks CMD! Keep up the good work

CMD Devizes found me a temporary placement almost immediately. I found Lucy at CMD Devizes attentive, supportive and helpful, she found me good job after a temporary contract finished. She took care to check in to find out how things were going. She is always contactable if I have questions or to provide information. CMD provided a very professional experience.
