Feel better about recruitment

We don’t treat people like commodities. We represent them

We believe that recruitment should be about more than just putting bums on seats. We take a long term view.

That means understanding the career aspirations of our candidates and introducing them to companies and opportunities where they can be realised.

In turn, our clients get exceptional people who can make a genuine difference. They are decisive hires.

We’re predictable

We work hard to reward and retain the best recruitment consultants in the business. That’s why we have a market leading staff retention rate.

As a result, our clients get to work with dedicated account managers. People who know their business inside out and understand their changing recruitment needs. They will do more than just find you the perfect candidates. Salary surveys, training and business consultancy are all part of the package, if you want them.

Our candidates get a better service too. They aren’t passed from consultant to consultant as the faces change. Every one gets a single contact who works closely with them to genuinely represent their interests. Securing the right career move isn’t the end either. Help with salary negotiations, career advice and training are always available.

Sometimes we say ‘No’ (or at least ‘Not yet’)

We don’t pay lip-service to consultancy. We are not afraid to offer the right advice, even if it is not what our clients and candidates want to hear.

If we think a recruitment brief is unrealistic, we don’t waste clients’ time pretending to work on it. We tell them, but we don’t just walk away. We will work with them to shape a brief that is achievable, based on the needs of the business and the skills and experience available in the market.

Our candidates can expect the same approach. If we don’t think a candidate is ready to make their desired career move, we won’t risk their future. We tell them they are not ready, and offer advice on the experience, skills and qualifications they will need to make any future career move a success.

We don’t waste your time

Finding the right people, or the right job, is time consuming enough without recruitment companies wasting your time.

Most recruitment companies ask their clients to find theneedle in the haystack. They throw as many CVs as they can at every vacancy in the hope that one will stick.

We don’t. We take the time to understand our clients’ business needs, and only put forward candidates that fit the brief. So, whilst we send our clients fewer people, over 75% of them will progress to interview. All our clients have to do is decide which is the sharpest needle.

For candidates that means less time saying no to inappropriate interviews and no time wasted pursuing roles they have little chance of securing.

We guarantee success

There are no guarantees in recruitment. Except ours.

Definitive Consulting is the only specialist recruitment consultancy to offer a money back guarantee of success on retained recruitment assignments.

It’s not as big a risk as it may sound. We have never failed to fill a role we have worked on a retained basis and we don’t plan to start now.

Anyway, why shouldn’t our clients share our confidence?
