14. Recruitment Process
Referrals
Check in office for top applicant referrals. We have a target at COREcruitment that
40% of our placed candidates will come via referrals and recommendations – good
people tend to know good people. We actively incentivise candidates to put us in
touch with their friends / colleagues and contacts to find a higher number of ‘passive
job seekers’
Screening
1.The next stage of our process is by initially screening a candidate by conducting a
non-vacancy specific telephone conversation. This is because the candidates we
register are matched on what they want to do – rather than what they apply for – this
way we can find a much better long-term fit.
1.Upon identifying the candidate’s suitability we then conduct a second telephone /
Skype / face to face interview which is more specific to the job at hand. During this
interview not only do we present our client in the best possible light but we feel it is
important to properly brief the candidates on the vacancy and company.
Advertising
While our system is our first port of call, we will also advertise the role on over 25
different sites as well as post it all over our social media sites. All adverts will be
posted with a high level of confidentially as will be the first response. For bulk
campaigns we can conduct joint branded adverts.
Searching
As mentioned, our system is a first port of call as we have a great amount of
outstanding candidates available. COREcruitment also has access to many different
external sites that we use to search for candidates.
Searching
COREcruitment will actively target candidates from competitor / target businesses.
We use a variety of techniques to make these approaches and only mention a client
name when a sufficent level of relationship and trust are established.
15. COREcruitment’s Unique Services
CORE on the road
One of our popular methods of attracting candidates is organising an open days and drinks evenings.
These are a great opportunity for passive job seekers to interact discreetly without registering on job
boards or applying online. We have had success specifically where potential employers have covertly
attended events to meet candidates in a less formal setting.
Referral Partnership
COREcruitment offers a referral free as we believe good people tend to know good people.
COREcruitment offers a partnership with clients. Therefore, we could advertise a referral scheme on our
website.
Psychometrics
We also have the ability to use our in house system of psychometric testing. We have found this
especially useful as part of the recruitment process to double check that a candidate has the appropriate
ability levels to be successful in a role.
Networks
Each consultant at COREcruitment has a niche area that they work in, and within this niche area they are
part of many different network groups. Consultants use these network groups to their advantage. As we’ve
mentioned, referrals are a big part of our candidate attraction and good people know good people.
Consultants make a conscious effort to attend any relevant networking events, so when we say they know
the industry inside out - they really do!
Salary Benchmarks
COREcruitment has put together a salary benchmark that is updated regularly and is available to all
clients. This document gives our clients a better understanding of the current market and the average
salaries being offered. This is determined by seniority of the role, the location and the industry.

we currently cover Europe, Asia and Africa with a growing presence in Australasia and America.
