The common frustrations of recruiting

! Candidates who are patently unsuitable are sent to you be the agencies anyway.

! Your own line managers. personnel or human resources departments having to do most of the filtering and assessment themselves.

! Being 'sold' candidates by the agency, rather than given a balanced assessment of strengths and potential weaknesses, and targeted areas you should explore more with the candidate yourself.

! The expense of high agency fees. How often do you feel they have really earned their money?

! Being told by agencies that you need to pay more to attract the people you want.

The reasons for these frustrations

Actually, the agencies are behaving rationally! So are you and your organisation!

The problem is the whole basis of recruitment and how it is traditionally done in conjunction with agencies and recruitment consultants.

Finding an excellent agency or consultant is difficult because all parties are working within a fundamentally flawed system.

For an explanation of how this is so, please download the PDF 'A Better Way of Recruiting'. This explains the logic of what happens, and how it can be prevented, using the approach pioneered by W Y C H W O O D, which a few of the traditional names in recruitment are finally starting to understand and attempt to offer to their clients.

Our innovative approach

We are able to use only experienced professional recruiters because we are paid in a different way. Again, see the PDF for how this works. The resulting benefits to you and your organisation are that:

• We do not 'sell' candidates to you. We do not send you any which do not fit the requirements we have agreed with you. None of your time is wasted.
• We are far more thorough in our attracting and assessing of candidates including (as appropriate to you) targeted marketing of the position, response gathering and filtering, detailed information packs and application forms, telephone interviews, online interviews, thorough face to face interviews and psychometric tests for relevant aptitudes and personality.
• You need spend far less of your own time on the recruitment process.
• We offer a far faster response time.
• You are given detailed, balanced information on each candidate which includes recommendations as to particular areas to explore with each candidate, and help on how to do so.
• The information we provide also includes specific and practical information on how the candidate would best be managed and developed. The candidate can hit the ground running and with no surprises for you.
