FAQs

Hiring through a recruitment agency will save you time, hassle and enable you to attract a variety of talented candidates, rather than just applicants to a job advert. With growing competition, skills shortages and labour shortages working with a recruiter will give you valuable market advice to ensure that your role is filled as efficiently as possible with the best matched candidates. We’re the experts! It’s what we do all day every day, and we work in true partnership with you starting with understanding your business and requirements on site to ensure that your recruitment campaign is tailored to you. No two recruitment campaigns are the same and our consultants will advise you on the best and most effective method for you. We invest in candidate attraction through multiple platforms to ensure that we are on constantly on top of the candidate market. We telephone pre-screen candidates and then meet any suitable candidates face to face and interview them on your behalf so that when you receive their CV you get much more information which means the candidates you interview are all matched to your role and culture, saving you time in meeting with unsuitable candidates. We also offer a replacement/rebate scheme should the placement not work out on either side, giving you peace of mind that any post placement issues will be handled.
