Our Marketing Recruitment Background
We are not a large business with faceless staff you won’t get to know. The Director’s are mature, experienced business people, with extensive managerial and operational experience; they know and understand what it’s like to run a business, and also how it feels to be both a candidate and a client!
We have long been recognized throughout the East Midlands, and our highly successful website has continued to perform consistently for several years, both for candidates seeking a new job and clients seeking a recruitment agency.
How we help you
You need an addition to your team - whether that’s in advertising, design, marketing, or PR. We source and match the right person for you, taking the time and effort to clearly understand exactly what you are looking for.
Because we’re local, we’ll meet you face-to-face, and ensure we understand your work environment; alternatively you’re welcome to come and visit us at our offices in Nottingham to discuss your requirements.
Why you use us
Let’s be honest, some recruitment agencies do not have the best of reputations. We know why too - we have been candidate, client, and employee alike over the years. Having been business decision makers themselves, the director’s understand both business and accuracy.
We do not bombard clients with CV’s; we provide you with details of pre-interviewed candidates that match your needs, there is nothing in that for any of us.
We save your own time and therefore your money. This allows you to focus on the most important bit for you: running your business profitably and successfully.
Briefing your recruiter
The more that you tell us, the more accurate we can be in helping you.
Ideally we would meet with you at your premises, enabling us to gain a better
understanding of your business overall or alternatively at our offices in West Bridgford, Nottingham.
We want to look beyond your vacancy brief, whether it be written by your award winning copywriter, or written to the best of our journalistic talents. Sometimes we can determine the less obvious qualities that a potential employer and job role have to offer to the right candidate.
If you consider that some employers may only recruit every few years, give you up-to date advice on what the marketplace is currently like, including salaries, role
responsibilities and the types of candidates that are currently active in the market or any other aspect of the job / recruitment process that you are unsure about.
At the conclusion of the vacancy brief, we can agree a working timeframe, including
the potential dates that you have available for interview, and the required number of CV’s to enable a shortlist.
Sourcing suitable candidates
We advertise across many varied mediums, every day of the year, all at no cost
implications to the client until a placement is made. In addition, we have many years experience of utilising various recruitment selection databases, and the system we use now is excellent for identifying a vacancy to job seeker match. As the styles of CV’s varies enormously, we will present you details in a standard format, usually 2-3 pages in length, containing the candidates’ original content, plus any additional relevant information obtained at the candidate registration interview. We can also obtain other information, such as holidays to be taken, referees etc, and will happily take references up on your behalf at any stage of the process, after first clearing with the candidate.
Like you, we are locally based, so candidates are interviewed before discussing a vacancy with them, using a proven process drawing upon our recruitment experience recruiting up to Board level, on a national basis. Again, as mentioned previously in the candidates section, we always appraise creative / design portfolios, and marketing / PR, materials.
Getting you the right staff
Job seeker database – We have database going back to early 2002 that is finely tuned to enable us to match to your vacancy brief.
Advertising your job vacancy – In the event that we don’t have the most suitable candidate, we will advertise extensively.
Executive Search – The directors are both professional trained ‘headhunters’ it’s where we met and cut our teeth so to speak. Speak to one of us in confidence about this service.
Client meets candidate
Candidates are fully informed and prepared pre-interview with you; we debrief with them post interview with yourself, and provide feedback to both of you. Should the recruitment process include subsequent interviews, we arrange these.
Sometimes the combination of geography and diary commitments may conspire against a meeting, so we offer the use of our private meeting facilities at our offices, or arrange a suitable venue elsewhere should you choose.
