Recruitment Services

Our philosophy is to fill your vacancies whatever it takes so we adopt the following procedures:

The following is a description of what we offer rather than a rigid list from which you have to make a choice of only one option.
Contingency Recruitment
Means that if we don’t fill your position (you may take an internal applicant, or re-structure, or advertise directly yourself) then there is no charge from us.
This does not affect the level of service you receive. We still need a full job and person specification from you, and all candidates we submit are interviewed against your specific vacancy and briefed about your company (unless you require us to keep this information confidential at this stage).
Exclusivity
In return for allowing us to work on your assignment for an appropriate period (say 2 or 4 weeks) without it being given to any other Consultancy or Agency, we will reduce our fees by negotiation.
Headhunting
Our Consultants are trained to headhunt professionally, and this may be appropriate if we need to target particular individuals.
We do not regard Headhunting as exclusive to the Executive level and find it successful for all types of positions. For retail store positions in particular where we are often recruiting for several positions within the same geographical area we regularly go out to approach potential candidates face to face.
We need to draw your attention to our policy and the REC Code of Conduct which prohibits us from approaching candidates who work for our clients and will advise you of any conflicts of interest that may arise.
Retained Assignments
We have a 100% success rate when we have worked on Retained Assignment agreements. In circumstances where it is critical that the position is filled, where it is very senior or confidential, then this highly target approach guarantees the dedicated time of an Account Manager and Researcher.
Managed Recruitment
If you are able to commit to a date for interviews we will arrange first interviews at our offices on the same day. You will be briefed about all the candidates before interview and receive immediate feedback.
The advantage of this is that it allows comparison of all candidates whilst they are all still fresh in your memory, and the momentum of the process is maintained as second interviews are decided at the end of the day.
This service is ideal for many of our overseas clients when it is more convenient for them to come to London than to arrange for say three or more candidates to travel to them. Client Advertising Campaigns
This option may be desirable in a number of different circumstances, for example where there are multiple positions, for the opening of a new store, or where the publicity will support the marketing of a new product range or where you want to attract candidates from a direct competitor who are otherwise too sensitive to approach.
We will manage the process for you including writing the copy, producing the design (including your brand name and logo) and book the space and present you with finished artwork for your approval.
We will pass on all our advertising discounts to you and there is no charge other than a contribution to the cost of the advertising space.
Fixed-term Contracts and Temps
If you have to an immediate solution this may be an ideal option.
A fixed term ‘interim’ can provide short term cover for seasonal work, sickness or maternity leave as well as being suitable for project based work and also provide a bench mark if you need to recruit to permanently fill your position.
We offer you total flexibility and provide Temporary Workers charged on an hourly or daily basis or senior managers under contract for several months. |
