Search and Selection Solutions.

We operate Search for all levels of management recruitment, offering a thorough, discreet and professional search service, which selects candidates who have the necessary skills, background, knowledge and culture fit, based on the job specification provided.

Through comprehensive research and market knowledge, we target candidates regardless of whether they are actively looking or not. Our experience, knowledge and expertise in contacting and gaining committed candidates through search methods ensures that no vacancy is left unfilled. You will also be provided with market intelligence and salary benchmarking whilst we carry out the search, giving you an added benefit. This service is confidential and pro-active - we act as knowledgeable brand ambassadors to suitable candidates and generate a real interest in your organisation and opportunity on your behalf.

Retained Executive Search.

Retained Executive search assignments are our preferred recruitment methods for senior appointments as they provide us with a firm mandate to search the market place with your express permission.

Executive Search involves us identifying and approaching the very best talent available in your market and presenting them to you following detailed assessment and screening. Our first task is to identify relevant organisations, and individual personnel within them, in order to create a comprehensive list of potential candidates.

Following our research, we will create a shortlist of no more than 3 candidates per vacancy, who are both suitable and interested - this is achieved through our skilled networking and direct approach, using absolute discretion and diplomacy at all times.

Advertised Response Management.

We are able to provide total response management; this can include a hotline response telephone, a dedicated email address, micro-site and instant screening. We would design a bespoke candidate process, that would ensure candidates were screened and assessed and directly booked on to pre-arranged assessment days. This ensures that even volume campaigns produce quality driven assessment results, making sure your time is used efficiently and costs are saved.

Analysis.

One of the benefits of relying on us to manage the full recruitment campaign for you is the ability for us to deliver to you precise and accurate statistics detailing the success of the campaign. Our reporting provides you with management information relating to the following;

• Which media has provided the best quality and volume of candidates
• Analysis of the type of marketing used and its success ratios
• Number of applications discounted and at which stage of the process
• Honest appraisal of the cost effectiveness of the campaign

Candidate assessment.

Pre-Selection Screening.

Our Recruitment consultants are trained to provide all candidates with an initial in-depth screen to really understand their career aspirations, key skills and motivations for changing jobs. We also establish the candidates’ technical skills and experience, along with assessing their softer skills and personality, taking into account our understanding of your needs from the job specification. Our experience has shown that taking the time with candidates at the start of the process ensures we represent to you only candidates with a genuine interest in your opportunity.

Short Listing.

Depending on our agreed recruitment process, we will create a bespoke interview and assessment for your brand to select candidates to be presented for interview. Our flexible approach ensures that candidates are selected according to your key criteria and competencies. All candidates whom, after pre-selection screening, we believe to be suitable for your vacancy, will be selected to go through this further selection process before being represented to you for final interview.

Throughout the recruitment process, we manage the candidates’ feedback and ensure that all administration is processed for you. We add value to each candidate’s experience, providing them with the interview support and detailed advice which maximises your brand integrity. We professionally represent your organisation at every stage of the recruitment process.
