Retained Assignments

As a boutique recruitment company we aim to provide our clients with the best possible candidates for their vacancies as opposed to the most actively available. Our aim is to provide quality not quantity; this is the philosophy behind a service based approach to recruitment.

• Proactive Search and Selection is best used when seeking individuals with a specialist knowledge or a complex skill set.
• Historically, this method is used at the senior end of the market, however more often it is now standard practice for more junior level and mid level positions.
• By investigating a wide range of industry contacts, we can identify suitable individuals using a methodical approach, this approach enables us to source and network through both major corporations and smaller boutique style houses providing a diverse range of applicants.

The Benefits

• A dedicated point of contact with only one Consultant
• The Consultant’s time is exclusively guaranteed for the duration of the assignment.
• We thoroughly research our client company to understand the culture, strategies, market position, business needs and prime responsibilities. This can be communicated to potential candidates, allowing a stronger match to be obtained “first time” between candidate and client
