Our case-by-case approach means that our pricing structure is adaptable to suit your requirements.

    Vacancy Discussion

    Understanding your business is key to matching the right people with each vacancy. We’ll schedule an in-person or remote meeting or phone call to discuss the various components that build a broad picture of your recruitment objectives and vacancy details, along with establishing the interview process and an agreed timeline. We’ll consider factors such as preferred experience and background, necessary qualifications and day-to-day duties as well as work culture, salary and benefits so that we can construct a complete and comprehensive job specification that is both an accurate and interesting representation of the role and the business as a whole.

    Advertisement & Applications

    We work with every job on an individual basis which means we can fine-tune vacancies, as well as how and where they’re advertised, to match them with the best possible candidates. We’ll utilise several job boards, along with networking and social media channels to market the position in conjunction with proactive headhunting and database searches to identify prospective individuals. You’ll have the option of whether opportunities are displayed with your business’s branding or without as part of our considered approach.

    Candidate Shortlist

    After carefully reviewing each application, we will compile a hand-picked selection of suitable candidates we believe are best matched with your vacancy and company culture. To streamline the process, we’ll present our shortlist to you with accompanying notes and observations for each applicant, such as their salary expectations, career aspirations, and reasons for looking for a new challenge so that you have a clear overview of each individual in order to make an informed decision on whom to interview.

    On selecting the successful applicant, we’ll discuss the finer details of the opportunity, such as terms,
    conditions, benefits package and salary, and put together a complete offer which we’ll present to them (and oversee any necessary negotiations) on your behalf. Upon acceptance of the offer, during the notice period, we will remain in regular contact with you and the candidate to assure an open line of communication before their new role begins.
