Please find an overview of the services we offer below.

Retained Search

This is often the best solution when there are certain circumstances around your recruitment needs that require a greater level of dedication from your recruitment partner.

The list of scenarios is by no means exhaustive. Retained recruitment campaigns provide you with a comprehensive service with a retained team of consultants dedicated to your campaign. With a retained search campaign, we would proactively network and headhunt relevant industry professionals to find the best possible candidates available in the marketplace. We would carry out full due diligence on all individuals we progress, informal reference checking where appropriate and meet all candidates prior to shortlisting.

Finally we would provide a full audit trail of all the people we have approached in the marketplace with feedback, to give you the peace of mind that a thorough search has been conducted on your behalf. Finally we would present a shortlist for interview with full candidate profiles and notes to aid you in the interview process. In addition to this, all fundamental elements of a contingency campaign (no placement no fee) would be included in a retained search as outlined below.

Typically in the following situations we would recommend a retained search:

  • When you are searching for a very specific set of skills that only a limited number of candidates in the industry possess.
  • When there is an urgent requirement with tight timescales.
  • If the vacancy is highly confidential and you do not want your competitors to know what you are doing.
  • A campaign that requires a number of candidates recruiting over a period of time.
  • When you want to advertise to pass on a positive brand image and demonstrate growth.

Contingency Assignments (Database Search)

Chosen for is cost effectiveness and reliability, contingency recruitment provides an uncomplicated way of accessing a wide range of candidates for your vacancy. Although it does not provide a full search of all candidates in the industry, it gives you excellent access to candidates via a multitude of effective routes.

Whilst we offer a complete contingency recruitment solution, there are times when a different approach is required. If you are currently recruiting and want to learn more about what is best for your business, please contact us today.
