Our Approach

…

Each potential candidate identified is screened to assess their suitability and interest in the role. Once we are satisfied that a potential candidate is suitable for further investigation we invite them for interview where we assess their expertise, experience and personality against the specific criteria on the person specification.

Candidates successful at interview will then be presented to you with full career and personal profiles. We also gain a verbal reference at this stage and this will be presented as part of each candidate pack. We will also conduct psychometric testing if necessary.

As partners in the recruitment process we are very much involved in the latter stages of the sequence, ensuring that the preferred candidate is fully engaged and communication between all parties is free flowing.

For the preferred candidate, the resignation process can be a very stressful and unnerving time. We play a key role in assisting them through this period. For example, writing the resignation letter, maintaining dialogue with them during the day of resignation and also alerting them to possible reactions by their employer and how to deal with these positively and effectively.
