it's all about the candidate
Our focus is on you, the candidate, and every aspect of our business is designed with you in mind.
We know where you want to get to and how to get you there, and we're fully committed to walking down every avenue with you until we reach the same shared goal.
does this sound familiar
Apply online, talk to a friendly recruiter, chase recruiter, chase again, rinse and repeat... or even worst, submit your CV, chase to no avail, and find out later down the line your CVs being sent to every firm in town without your permission.
We're not all like that thankfully, we're quite the opposite, in fact! We work fast and we work hard, so you don't have to and you're kept up to date throughout,
our hiring process
Registration
To fully register with us all you need to do is apply to any of our live vacancies or submit your CV via email or our online uploader. Once your CV is with us, it's in safe hands. We never send your CV out to anyone without fully briefing you on the firm it's going to first.
Speak With Us
Once registered, we'll schedule a call to learn a little about you and discuss the role and the firm you've applied for. The call will be at a time that suits you and the information we gather will do nothing other than enhance your chance of success.
Submit Formal Application
Once you're happy to proceed we'll submit a formal application to our client, which includes your CV and a ton of supportive information which will add weight to your application and negate any possible negative aspects, such as short tenures or fluctuating billing numbers.
Interview
Your interview will be fully managed by your recruiter who will assist and support you before, during, and after. Come interview time, you'll be confident and fully prepared for the firm in question, and as we know nothing in life is perfect, we'll be on call throughout and straight after too, which is always a good time to speak with us as we can put across to the firm any information you may have not got across clearly at the time.
Contract Negotiations
Negotiations can be fully managed by your recruiter too. Things like salary, workload expectations, career expectations, and work/life balance are all areas your recruiter can negotiate to great effect on your behalf. In fact, most of the negotiations would have being taken care of at the formal application stage, which is where we make your value to the firm clear and lay out your expectations from them.
Start Your Dream Job
This is the exciting part, starting a new adventure with a new firm and a new client base, however, you won't be alone, your recruiter is still available to you through the first 12 weeks for support.
For the most part, we expect this to be a very smooth and fulfilling time for yourself and your new employer.
this is where it truly becomes full service
The hiring process laid out above is the typical way of gaining employment through us but not the only way.
If for any reason your application isn't successful your recruitment manager will show you some exciting options that requires a lot of hard work from us but zero effort from you and often leads to multiple interview opportunities at targeted firms.
career advice
As you've seen, there's so many steps and so much to look at when applying for a role so we've put together a few short, insightful, and easy to understand advice pages to help heighten your chance of success at the first time of asking.
