My Recruitment Process

Offering an executive search service, I follow a detailed recruitment process. This involves pro-actively identifying and attracting the best candidates and ensuring they are a strong match in terms of skills, experience & values.

My robust process has multiple stages which ensures that my clients and candidates are fully supported every step of the way.

Firstly I take a detailed job brief from the employer. This ensures I fully understand the job vacancy, the wider business and culture of your organisation.

Secondly I use my wide-reaching network of contacts to identify the best fitting people to your vacancy. I then present your job to prospective candidates. Next I start my screening and interviewing process to ensure I identify those who are the best fit for your job. Once this is completed I send you my selected candidate shortlist.

Selecting the right candidates is just the start. Next I manage interview arrangements, ensuring candidates are fully briefed and appropriately prepared for their interviews. During this stage I can advise employers on interview processes, interview techniques and how to provide a great candidate experience. Once you have found your perfect candidate I then help you secure them, offering advise on the job offer process to ensure a successful outcome.
