Just how different can a recruitment consultancy be?

What happens when you place a vacancy with a normal agency?  The first thing that happens is that you’ll be inundated with CVs – most of which will bear only a vague resemblance to your requirements.  It will then be up to you to waste your valuable management time trawling through them to discover whether any of them are even worth interviewing. This is not the Click an Flick approach.	We have a thorough knowledge of your industry, so we will understand exactly what you are looking for.  Although we always have a number of candidate CVs “on file”, we will use our extensive search capabilities to pinpoint candidates who will be ideal for you.  Many of the people that we have placed were not even actively looking for a job when we first approached them!
We will then supply you with an appropriate, pre-agreed number of suitable candidates. Where geography and timescales permit, we will have met the candidates face-to-face to see whether we think they will be a good fit to your organisation. All you have to do is meet the candidates and decide which you like best.

Charges

What differentiates us from regular agencies is our shared risk offering.  If you are looking for a number of fee-earning staff such as financial advisors, we offer a service whereby you make small monthly payments and a further small payment when staff start working for you.  In this way you are able to spread the cost of recruitment over a period of time, and cover it from the revenue generated by the new hire.

Candidates we place under this arrangement come with a guarantee that should they leave during the period of the agreement, they will be replaced at no further charge. For non fee-earning staff, and otherwise where this arrangement is not appropriate, we charge a percentage of year one remuneration in line with normal industry standards. This percentage depends on the nature of the assignment and whether it is a retained search or a contingent assignment.
