Recruiting personnel is a time consuming process.
Producing attractive adverts, benchmarking salaries, reviewing CV’s, assessing the relevance of experience and educational achievements, shortlisting and interviewing candidates can really take time out of your day. It becomes clear to see what the benefits of appointing a recruitment agency are.
For a fee, we take all of this pressure away from you, simply put, your time is better served concentrating on your business.
Recruiters are employed by clients, but work for both client and candidates.
Clients provide job vacancies, recruiters market the vacancy, shortlist and select appropriate candidates for interview
If the candidate put forward by the recruiter is successful, the client will pay the recruiter a finders fee, which is typically based on a percentage of a successful candidates salary.
There is no cost for the candidate to use our recruitment service and the candidate is not disadvantaged by using our recruitment service.
We have a range of candidates on our database at any one time. Some are available immediately, some are subject to 2-3 month notice periods.
We will adjust our marketing strategy in order to find a candidate that can work towards your timescale.
