Concentrate on your core business confident in the knowledge that your recruitment requirements are being looked after by an experienced industry specific professional in the strictest of confidence and in the most efficient manner.

We provide a bespoke level of service to our clients, tailored to suit your needs. The search & selection assignment involves sourcing candidates' specific to your requirements via the following levels of service:

The File Search

Firstly we utilise our extensive database of high calibre candidates. We would use this to source any possible candidates who match your specific criteria.

The Networking Exercise

As an industry specialist we will also use our database to aid in our networking exercise. Agencies cannot offer this, only specialist consultancies such as Key Recruitment are able to. We have built a large, specialist network, which we utilise for referrals, references and most importantly as a route to specifically identified candidates.

The Headhunt

A list will be compiled containing companies we expect could contain the right level of person to fill the vacancy assigned. This list is confirmed with yourself for you to remove any companies such as key suppliers or customers. We would also hope at this stage for any other suggestions from you. Research will then establish who within the respective companies has the necessary skills to satisfy the job specification. Approaches will then be made. At this point a short list of suitable candidates will be formed. We would expect to have this shortlist in ten days. If we cannot provide a sufficient number of quality candidates we will be in a position to provide a detailed report on the problems incurred so the parameters can be re-assessed.

Advertising

Our in-house marketing team is able to devise advertising campaigns for particular assignments. We carry out research to establish the most appropriate combination of print and internet advertising which is tailored to suit your particular recruitment requirements. We have extensive experience of placing adverts on behalf of clients and regularly advertise in all the major trade journals as well as regional and national newspapers. In addition we are continually placing live roles on renowned websites with a proven track record of regularly attracting high quality candidates. Website advertising is a very cost effective way of sourcing candidates and we are able to offer clients free, confidential advertising on a variety of sites. Jobs can be advertised immediately on receipt from the client and responses generated the same day.

The Market Report

During the assignment should we experience any difficulty in identifying interested candidates of the right calibre we will be in a position to write a full market report detailing our findings. This report highlights any negative market perceptions, salary problems or any other factors restricting our success. This will allow the client to make an informed decision on how to progress with the assignment.
