Professional and reliable

I worked with Mike during a recent recruitment process in the M&A space and had a genuinely positive experience.
What stood out to me was his clear understanding of the market and the roles he recruits for. He was direct, responsive, and gave honest feedback throughout. No generic sales talk, just a straightforward, professional exchange.

One of my best experiences with PE headhunters

I had a great experience working with Cain & Mann, who helped me to receive an offer in PE. Throughout the process, Axel was very supportive by providing thoughtful guidance and advice. I am very grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone exploring opportunities in the PE space.

No suggestions for improvement!

During the initiation and application process, I received very committed and professional support, while at the same time being treated in a very friendly manner.

Compared to other headhunting firms, Cain & Mann is just as interested in the candidate's wishes / concerns, with the aim of building a long-term (candidate) relationship.

I can highly recommend Cain & Mann, without reservation!

Professional & Supportive!

I was approached by C&M regarding a few exciting opportunities and ended up interviewing multiple rounds with a strategy/CDD consulting boutique that was offering exactly what I wanted for the next step in my career. Axel Schoenfeld & Ernest Pulk were very supportive throughout the whole process. Communication was very proactive; they offered help whenever they could and were always easy to reach and approach.

I felt well guided throughout all phases and am grateful for the opportunity to have been connected to my new team. I can wholeheartedly recommend working with C&M.

I was approached for an open position by Edward Beitman from Cain&Mann. At that time I was actively looking for a job and was in touch with multiple head-hunters. Edward was the only one who actually created value and made the process go smoothly. This includes everything from finding a suitable position to support throughout the interview process with valuable insights. In the end, I got an offer and also accepted it. In my experience, it was the only time when a head-hunter took his time and made an effort to make the process a success, all of it in a very friendly way!

Truly supportive and caring

Edward is the most caring Headhunter I met. Never had the feeling, he just wants to get someone placed. Especially in the final phase of the process, he helped me negotiating and was very supportive.

Finally, a good PE recruiter!

My experience working with Karl has been outstanding, whereby I experienced a very competent care and excellent support in interview preparation, including tailored advices on how to prepare for the interviews on the best way.

Communication was always professional and responsive, both over the phone and/or through emails. I especially want to emphasise Karl's quick responses to inquiries and his ability to handle all interactions with correctness and professionalism.

This level of service made a significant difference in my job search, and I highly recommend Cain & Main services for anyone looking to navigate the PE job market successfully.

Top service!

Top service!

Chris helped me out big time in landing a top job in the venture capital space.

It took Chris only one week to present me with several top offers of which two were from some of the largest players in the VC space in Europe.

Hats off, this short interaction changed my life for better, and this thanks to Chris and the team at Cain & Mann
