How We Work

Our first step involves comprehensive discussions with you to gain a thorough understanding of the role and its context within the organisation. At this stage we may also provide guidance on defining the job, the candidate specification and the remuneration.

We then build the recruitment strategy, recommending the best method of sourcing candidates, by search, advertised selection or in some situations a combination of both. Our advice is free and without obligation up to this point.

On acceptance of our proposal, we begin the recruitment process which is thorough and comprehensive. Here is an outline of its key stages:

  • If searching, we will identify and agree target companies and candidates. We use our experienced research team during this phase, which involves professional and discreet approaches to potential candidates to maximise their interest.
  • If advertising, we will provide media advice, copywriting and placement in the media, including relevant websites.
  • Conducting structured interviews with relevant candidates.
  • Presenting shortlisted candidates to you, together with detailed assessments and reports.
  • Assisting with offer negotiations, taking up references and qualification checks.
  • Throughout the assignment, keeping you and the candidates informed of progress and being responsive to timescales.
  • After completion we follow up at three, six and twelve month intervals to ensure the candidate is successfully integrated into your organisation.

To see how this works in practice take a look at our case studies and view our areas of expertise in Built Environment, Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals/Life Sciences and International.
