Either they are ignorant and unprofessional or there was no job in the first place and they were fishing for CV's.
So many recruiters are doing this nowadays, totally unprofessional.

Reply from Maxwell Bond
Huge thanks to Andy Holt and the Maxwell Bond team for organising such a fantastic CTO Round Table event. The event perfectly blended networking, fabulous food, and deep, meaningful conversations amongst a diverse group of tech leaders. Andy did a great job of making me feel welcome and creating a relaxed environment. It was a pleasure to be part of the group, and it was wonderful to see how everyone naturally encouraged, supported, and engaged in open conversations right from the start; this was incredibly empowering. Learning about the challenges others face was not only validating but also highlighted the unique value of my own journey and insights. The CTO Round Table events go beyond simple networking; they are inspiring and create a supportive peer network that feels more like a community.
Maxwell Bond = Great Partnership and Support
Working with Andy Holt at Maxwell Bond has been a great experience and his approach to understanding the requirements of the business and hiring in line with culture and fit has been important. Andy is never too busy to engage, be that visiting on-site at our offices, Maxwell Bond hosting C Suite Roundtable events or inviting our teams to join Product and Tech sessions at their offices. The partnership makes a difference, builds trust and delivers results.
Excellent service from Pete, made the process simple and kept me informed, and prepared throughout. Thank you for all the help and support finding the perfect role.
Thank you Peter for your support in my search for employment.
What stood out most for me compared to other recruiters I have dealt with is your willingness to listen and understand what I wanted rather than tying to fit roles you felt were relevant.
Transparent communication and timely updates were provided which were welcome and I always felt well-informed and supported at every stage of the recruitment process, which was welcome as I had been out of the job market for many years
I recently had the pleasure of working with Maxwell Bond and, in particular, Ashley W., and I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service I received throughout the entire recruitment process.
Ashley took the time to thoroughly understand my skills, experience, and career goals, ensuring a personalised and strategic approach to my job search.
What stood out most was the transparent communication and timely updates provided by them. I always felt well-informed and supported at every stage of the recruitment process. Ashley not only helped me secure a contract that perfectly aligns with my expertise but also negotiated favourable terms on my behalf.
I wholeheartedly recommend her and Maxwell Bond to anyone who's looking for a job.
Have worked with Maxwell Bond and Andy Holt in particular for what feels like years now, initially through the awesome roundtable events which are always super informative – and only occasionally used as a therapy session!
We worked with Maxwell Bond and they placed some great people in our team and with Andy Holt, he was always there to help out in any way he could, with on-site visits, market intel and general advice. A great member of your team and a pleasure to work with.
In short, Maxwell bond is a fantastic company to do business with. They come across professional, knowledgeable and with real attention to detail which always delivers a great experience for their customer. I have had many interactions with Maxwell Bond, however Andy Holt needs a special mention. Whether that is frequently reaching out to customers to see what value he or Maxwell Bond can add or delivering his ‘world famous’ round table events, which are a huge hit for everyone who attends. Keep up the great work guys!!
We’ve worked with Maxwell Bond for 18 months or so and they’ve placed some really great people in our tech team. Andy is always at the end of the phone and happy to meet up whenever needed and has been a great account manager for us
Transparent communication and great opportunity to shape Product Centric wisdom in the industry.
Working with Ade was an absolute game-changer, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome! 🌟 From day one, Ade took the time to really get to know my background and what I was searching for in my next career move. Within a couple of days, he presented three incredible job opportunities that perfectly aligned with my goals, thanks to his extensive network.
Ade's support didn't stop there. Throughout every step of the interview process, he proved to be an invaluable resource. His guidance and insights significantly contributed to my success, especially during design tasks and presentations.
In summary, Ade's dedication, expertise, and personalised approach made my job search a breeze. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking not just a job, but the right fit for their career journey. Thanks, Ade, for making this experience truly exceptional and helping me land my dream job! 🚀 🌟
Maxwell Bond have been a great recruiter to our business and in particular Andy Holt has been at the forefront of all communications and recruitment support.
I've had the pleasure of working with Andy in the past and he was as supportive a colleague as he is now albeit in a different guise.
Thanks to Andy and the team at Maxwell Bond for all your efforts and support !
Aniela was very supportive and well trained up in her role from start to finish. It has probably been the least stressful job move in my career so far. I'd recommend Maxwellbond in the future for anyone looking for a different career path solely based off Aniela's experience with me. Maxwellbond are very lucky to have Aniela in their company and should notice her hardwork towards clients.
Thanks for everything Aniela :-)
Maxwell Bond placed me at my most recent role and they were fantastic throughout the whole process.
From the very first phone call, right up to the point where I signed the contract, I felt supported and was kept up to date throughout the whole process. It was also massively reassuring for me, knowing that I had been recommended by a well established recruitment firm.
It wouldn't be right for me to leave a review without me mentioning Andy Holt.
Andy was the first person that I spoke to about the role and he didn't hesitate to put me in touch with the member of the team that was managing the role. Once the process got started, Andy ensured that I got all the updates that I needed and if I had any questions, he was always happy to have a quick call with me.
Since landing the role, Andy's also supported us by including us in round table events, tech talks and product talks throughout the year.
I can't thank Maxwell Bond and Andy enough for all the great work that they do.
Keep it up legends!
We’ve worked with Maxwell Bond for a couple of years now and really enjoyed the relationship as well as building the team with the people they've placed with us. Having attended several of the larger events and also a round table event hosted by Andy Holt I can recommend these as a great way to get up close to the interesting topics being discussed in the North West tech scene.
Maxwell Bond are fantastic! They listen to your exact needs and deliver exceptional candidates.
I have hired an incredible development team entirely from Maxwell Bond, I would never go elsewhere to hire a developer!
It is also a bonus that the events and chats that they host on the tech and recruitment industry gives great insight into how the market if performing and all of the stats and data to ensure that we are competitive and offering great benefits to our employees.
Plus the catchups with Andy are a joy to the day and once again, very insightful!
Riana and Maxwell Bond great in supporting me into a new role, from interview advice to negotiating salary. She was brilliant at keeping in touch and providing updates. Thanks Riana!
I've worked with Maxwell Bond and Riana in particular from both sides, as a hiring manager and as a candidate, and have had a great experience in both. From a hiring perspective I got great support and engagement from the outset, with Riana and her team taking the time to get to know us, the business and what we were looking for. From this we had a selection of quality candidates that suited our needs and performed well throughout the recruitment process, ultimately leading to multiple hires coming from Maxwell Bond.
As a candidate, I worked with Riana on a number of opportunities, ultimately leading to me being hired into my current role. Throughout the process Riana was engaged, providing help, support and information to make sure I was well prepared for each stage of the process. Bringing knowledge of the business and the people involved was a real stand-out benefit throughout this.
I'd definitely recommend Maxwell Bond, Riana and the Product team in particular.
I've recruited a number of tech roles through Maxwell Bond and I would have no hesitation in recommending them. My main point of contact, Riana has always taken the time to really understand the requirement and there ability to find candidates that match the brief is the best I have seen.
An example of this was 4 contract roles that went out to around half a dozen agencies, but we ended up placing all 4 candidates through Maxwell Bond which speaks for itself.
