Company Presentation

2. Who we are…
Assured Recruitment are one of the fastest growing recruitment businesses in the
UK, recruiting to culture fit for some of the most dynamic, privately owned, private
equity, venture capital backed, entrepreneurial led, private sector businesses.
The concept of Assured was created in February 2001 when our senior
management team established an internal recruitment department for one of the
fastest growing, privately owned groups in the UK. The function was responsible
for top to bottom growth from 2,000 to over 12,000 staff, and the service was
soon extended to the external market.
When the group sold, which at the time accounted for the largest private equity
sale outside of London, the function became a fully independent recruitment
business; Assured Recruitment, who have the key differential of
having an ‘external capability with an internal mentality’.

and manage the complete placement lifecycle.

5. Recruiting to culture fit…
We partner with you and become an ambassador of your culture, share your
business values, and integrate with your ambition. Our consultants take the time
to understand your business and its future growth plans, and then find ‘the best
candidates in the market not on the market’ who have the personality to succeed
in your culture.
When a candidate is of the correct culture fit they are compatible with the
organisations values and mode of operations. This is a crucial element of
recruitment as culture impacts daily working practises and decision making;
especially when hiring executives, and other managerial staff.

6. Uniting Ambition…
In today’s workplace knowledge, intellectual capital, individual and organisational
qualities represent the competitive value proposition for most companies.
Although an individual’s knowledge and skills are important, they can quickly
become redundant. Provided the employee fits into the organisation, and
demonstrates the propensity to grow and develop, their knowledge and skills will
change and grow over time - motivations and drivers however are almost
impossible to change.
A candidate with a good skill set who works within an environment that is fitting
to their own will have the ability to succeed in their role, and achieve exceptional
results. Attitude and approach are the foundation to outstanding performance
and drive excellence in terms of both performance and results – so essentially
our model maximises your ROI for that employee.

7. Our clients…
“I have worked with Adam on and off for around nine years. He, and his
organisation, have an excellent ability to locate quality staff under tight time
constraints. He always takes the time to understand the requirements of his
clients to make sure he is able to find the best match for the resource
requirement at hand. In short Adam, and Assured are a rare bread providing a
dependable, honest and simple recruitment service.”
Application Architect

8. Our clients…
“I first worked with Howard during his time within Cornerstone, where he and
his team provided senior management and finance placements to LSG & PAS
amongst other functions. Since Moving to UKCG I have also engaged Assured
Recruitment on placement assignments where Howard has continued to
provide exceptional performance against our requirements for timely, cost
effective recruitment. Always a pleasure to work with.”

9. Our clients…
“Assured ensure that they understand both the client and the candidate in
order to achieve a match between the two. They understand Development
and understand Developers and know that getting a good team fit is about
much more than just technical ability. Assured champion the best candidates
and leave no stone unturned in order to find them.
Head of Change and IT

10. Our clients…
“I have known and used Assured recruitment for a number of years and
dealt with both Adam as well as a number of his colleagues. I have always
found Assured very keen to understand in detail the role/ candidate profile
and therefore ensure they are best able to provide the most effective short
list of potential candidates. It is probably fair to say Assured have a high
energy & driven culture, this ultimately has led them to be successful (a
number of times) in filling positions for myself even when in competition
with other organisations (as part of PSL) I would not hesitate to continue to
use them in the future.”
