What Services Are Available?
Contingency Recruitment
This is a ‘no placement–no fee’ method of recruitment, with no initial cost. We post your job immediately on our website and on The New Scientist Jobs website. We search our database (and The New Scientist’s CV database) for the most suitable people for your team. We can also access all 138 million Linkedin members!
Headhunting
When you need the most successful person in your field, who might not be searching for a new role, headhunting is the most successful method. Working to an agreed timescale, we will identify the top performers then make an approach and persuade the individuals to meet with you. All the normal interview and reference checks still take place.
Advertising and Selection
If you need to create a high profile image, or if you need to recruit several people, third-party advertising can be the most cost-effective option. We will select the media, write the copy, post the advertisement and filter the response for you. We interview in-depth, check references and provide a strong shortlist.
When Can You Expect Results?
We contact you as soon as a suitable candidate has been found. You can also expect a report on our database search within 3 days. If no candidates are available immediately, we will continue to advertise your role. For an executive search a specific time frame is established with you at the outset. The process usually takes no more than two months, depending on interview availability.
How Do We Find Your Perfect Candidate?
When you agree to interview one of our candidates, you can expect to see a high calibre individual who is keen, matches your requirements, and will make it into your shortlist at the very least. We follow a proven process to ensure this happens.
First Steps
We take a full and complete job order from you, including job description and candidate requirements.
