We often have roles that aren’t publicly advertised, at our client's request. As such, it is always best to submit a copy of your CV to us or call/email a member of our engineering recruitment team.
Simply head over to our job search where you will be able to submit a copy of your CV to our team. You can also reach them via our contact us page.
Cover letters are arguably the most frustrating and arduous part of a job application. Not every hiring manager or recruiter will ask for one, but if they do, it is because they are looking for more information about you and why you want the job than your CV provides on its own. If you have been avoiding writing a cover letter, we can help you. Here are some tips you should follow to help your application stand out
The structure of your cover letter could be the difference between securing an interview or being put straight into the rejection pile. If it’s unorganised, not only is this unprofessional, but the employer could make the assumption that you are unorganised yourself. A cover letter shouldn’t drag out, make sure you keep it concise, outlining the key information. It should be less than half a page. Your cover letter needs to be formatted along the lines of your CV.

First hand response from their clients!
I find Murray McIntosh are proactive in searching suitable position whenever I approach them. They are quick on getting first hand response from their clients straight after an interview. I would highly recommend them as key recruiters for those who are looking for change or further progression.
The Murray McIntosh team are absolutely outstanding in attention to detail and never giving up on the values all recruitment specialists should aspire to be like.
I must say that over the past 40yrs of working at some of this countries biggest and most prestigious projects (and industry) I have in all of those years had many agencies working to get me the right position and if that position didn’t work out they ran for the hills!!
A unique situation to put someone in so trust has to be defining, but now to the agency recruitment specialist Murray McIntosh, after being let down and leaving a position early even though it was supposed to be long term, the team kept the pressure on and said they would do their best. 3-4 months later I am now working for that same company in a better position! They are absolutely outstanding in attention to detail and never giving up on the values all recruitment specialists should aspire to be like.
Murray McIntosh are a credit to the profession and I can’t them enough for giving me the opportunities they had promised and come through with.
Bravo!!
