When it comes to how many CVs or resumes you should ask your recruitment consultant to provide, the answer might seem simple: as many as possible. After all, you’re investing in a service and want to see a broad range of talent.

However, when you partner with a specialist recruiter like Sheridan Maine, the value lies not in volume but in precision. We take the time to fully understand your requirements, your business, your team culture, and the specific challenges of the role, so that every CV we send is genuinely worth your consideration.

You won’t receive a “spray and pray” selection of loosely matched candidates. Instead, we focus on quality over quantity, presenting a carefully curated shortlist of professionals who meet your technical requirements and align with your company values and long-term goals.

Ideally, that shortlist will feature three exceptional candidates, each fully capable of succeeding in the position. Our aim is to make your final choice a difficult one for all the right reasons: because every person we put forward could excel in the role and make a real impact.

By narrowing the field to only the strongest contenders, we save you time while ensuring the process remains focused, efficient, and outcome-driven. It’s a tailored approach that reflects the core of what we do at Sheridan Maine: connecting businesses with people who not only fit the brief but help elevate it.
