Recruitment & Candidate Selection
We find, screen and shortlist the right people for each role.
Who this is for
Recruitment and selection is the service most employers come to us for first: you have a vacancy, you have advertised it, and either nobody suitable applied or the people who did were gone within a month.
We take the role from definition to signed contract. That means writing the vacancy so it attracts the right people rather than the most people, searching actively instead of waiting for applications, screening properly against the requirements you actually care about, and giving you a shortlist you can make a decision from.
It suits companies hiring anything from a single specialist to a whole shift, and it works for permanent roles as well as fixed-term ones. If you would rather not become the employer at all, look at staff leasing or Employer of Record instead.
What is included
- A structured intake session to define the role, the must-haves and the deal-breakers
- A vacancy advertisement written for the role, published on the channels that reach it
- Active sourcing from our candidate database and direct outreach - not just advert responses
- Telephone and in-person screening against the agreed criteria
- Verification of qualifications, certificates and references
- Practical or technical testing where the role warrants it
- A written shortlist with an honest assessment of each candidate, including reservations
- Interview scheduling and coordination
- Offer support and contract preparation
- A replacement guarantee if a placement does not work out within the agreed period
The process, step by step
Intake
We sit down with the hiring manager and pin down what the role really requires - not what the job description says.
Search
Advertising, database search and direct approach run in parallel. Most good candidates are not actively applying.
Selection
Screening calls, interviews, testing and reference checks. You see only the candidates who cleared all of it.
Placement
Interviews with you, offer, contract and start date - plus a check-in during the first weeks.
What you get that you would not elsewhere
We search, we do not just advertise
Advertising reaches people who are looking. Direct sourcing reaches the ones who are good enough to be busy. Both matter, and we do both as standard.
Honest shortlists
If a candidate is strong but has a gap, we tell you the gap. A shortlist that hides problems wastes your interview time and ours.
Verified, not assumed
Certificates, licences and references are checked before a CV reaches you. In technical trades this alone removes most of the risk.
Replacement guarantee
If a placement leaves or is let go inside the agreed period, we replace them. The terms are written into the contract, not implied.
Industries this service suits
Frequently asked
For roles where we already have a candidate pool - production, construction trades, hospitality - usually a few working days. For specialist or senior roles, two to four weeks is realistic. We commit to a date at intake and tell you promptly if it slips.
The contract includes a replacement guarantee period. If the candidate leaves or is dismissed within it, we run the search again. The length of the period depends on the role and is agreed up front.
Both. A single specialist hire is a normal engagement for us. Volume recruitment for a whole shift or site is handled the same way, with a larger team on the search.
Sourcing yes, but international hires also need work permits and residence handling. That is covered by our International Workforce service, which builds on this one rather than replacing it.
