Investment in People

Employing the right resource is an important economic decision for every successful business. Sourcing and evaluating prospective candidates can be a sensitive, time consuming and costly affair. The risk of misevaluating candidates and getting can be very costly.

We regard ourselves as a partner with a common goal to select the right candidate who fits your hard job criteria and slots into the culture of your organisation.
We aim to facilitate this process, making the recruitment of staff more cost effective and efficient for you.

All our consultants have specialist knowledge within their sector and are skilled in identifying the right candidate for your organisation. Our team consists of recruitment advisers with a high level of expertise and motivation, which equally focuses on the individual needs of each company, as well as on the specific needs of the applicant in order to create an ideal synergy. Particular consideration will not only be given to the hard skills, such as the right diploma and competencies required for the job but also the person's soft skills such as their communication, decision-making, management and team player skills. Furthermore we pay special attention to whether the candidate would fit into the organisation's culture. In our placement projects, we place great emphasis on developing a successful partnership between the client and the candidate in order to create a long-lasting business relationship.

Forward looking and future focused, we continually strive to play a major role in the sharing and the cultivation of new developments and ideas in our core sectors.

As well as our industry expertise, we have the right recruitment tools in place to attract talent.

Our online job board is able to attract a large number of specialist national and international candidates.

We are always actively involved in expanding our candidate portfolio by regularly conducting recruitment campaigns and promotional functions, publicising our vacancies in specialist portals and attending industry related fairs.

We value our clients and aim to provide a courteous and highly professional service.

Temp To Perm

Temp to Perm is a mixture of a temporary and permanent placement. You have the chance to get to know the candidate before offering a permanent role. This represents a great risk-free opportunity to test the waters for both the employer as well as the candidate. The employer can be sure that the candidate fits into the existing team and companies' culture, and performs according to expected standards. The candidate can meet the staff, experience the role and work environment before committing to taking on the role permanently.
When both parties agree that the synergy is right, the employer can take on the temporary staff member permanently at a reduced fee after they have completed 12 weeks or the pre-arranged time for the temp agreement.

The Temp to Perm option is a great way to spread recruitment cost over a longer period, it also limits the risk of employing the wrong person or starting the wrong job and is a good basis for a long-term and successful recruitment.
For the Tem -to - perm we offer Payroll Services.
