Steps of the Permanent Recruitment Journey
1. Vacancy Briefing
We begin by thoroughly understanding the role through a vacancy briefing with you—typically with the HR or hiring manager. If an on-site meeting isn’t possible, we can do it over the phone or through video. This briefing is key to getting a detailed grasp of the role’s requirements, team dynamics, and the challenges the new hire will face. We ask the right questions upfront to ensure nothing is left to chance.
2. Advertising Across Platforms
Once we have a clear understanding of the vacancy, we raise the role internally on our software system. This allows us to advertise across a variety of platforms including Indeed Premium, CV Library, Jobs, and up to 20 other job boards. Beyond that, we tap into our own database of candidates, leveraging our social media channels and existing network to ensure we reach the best possible talent.
3. Bespoke Sourcing Methods
Our expertise in sourcing means we go beyond the typical job boards. We can do bespoke candidate searches, tailored to the role’s specific needs. Whether it’s using headhunting methods, job fairs, or creating targeted social media posts and video content, we know how to attract the right people. We also have a strong referral strategy and a network of recruiters with decades of combined experience.
4. In-Depth Candidate Assessment
From the vacancy briefing, we establish competency-based questions that are aligned with your business values and the technical skills needed for the role. Our assessments go beyond simple CV checks—we conduct psychometric profiling, personality assessments, and even online tests like numeracy and literacy if needed. It’s all about ensuring the candidate has the right skills and the right attitude to fit your team.
5. Candidate Introduction
We introduce candidates based on your preferences. This could be through a straightforward CV introduction or a more detailed written profile explaining why we think they’re the perfect fit. We also offer video introductions for an extra level of insight, and if you use an Applicant Tracking System (ATS), we’re happy to integrate with that to streamline the process.
6. Flexible, Client-Focused Approach
Our recruitment process is designed to adapt to your needs. Whether it’s face-to-face interviews or video calls, online assessments, or in-person workshops, we fit our approach around your organisation.
By working closely with you every step of the way, we ensure that the candidates we introduce aren’t just qualified—they’re the right match for your business.
