For far too long now the Oracle User Community has
been provided with sub-standard
Consulting, Training, Managed Services, Recruitment
and Change Management Solutions.
The larger consultancies have over charged and
under-delivered. To make this matter worse it is very
difficult to identify an alternative Partner who will
deliver.
Vertex Fusion is a solution that has been “fused”
together by Tony Cook and his team by channeling
their combined 60+ years Oracle Recruitment
experience into developing niche alliance partnerships
with the experts that our extensive industry knowledge
tells us can best assist our customers, no matter what
the business need or complex technological challenge.

All recruitment agencies
are the same, aren’t they?
We double check
Most agencies don’t check references,
hey specifically exclude any responsibility for it.
We check and then check again,
direct and indirect references
References
We cover 100 days
Most agencies rebate if a candidate leaves,
typically 8-12 weeks. Thats not enough.
We cover 14.3 weeks, 100 days.
Replacement
Face 2 face
Most agencies just conduct phone interviews
and ‘have a chat’.
Thats not good enough.
We conduct structured interviews in person.
Interviews
Interview
We pass on ALL the information we glean
from our structured interviews so you know
exactly what we know about the candidate.
It saves time and effort.
De-brief
CV+
Most agencies simply pass on CVs.
We analyse the candidates CV specifically
with reference to YOUR recruitment needs.
We check facts and expand on pertinent issues.
This gives you a full picture and allows you
to concentrate on important issues.
Commentary
Loyalty
Most agencies take the money and run.
We expect satisfied clients to return
again and again. We offer rebates and discounts
based on volume of business. We respect loyalty.
Discounts
iT industry
Most agencies have variable levels of
competency. We insist on proven expertise
within the Technological arena.
So our teams are able to identify
and match the core skills for each position.
Expertise Bespoke
Most agencies use standard, generic skills
testing. We have designed and built
our own range of skills tests.
These are then personally assessed
for each position.
