- 4. International Practice It surprised me how few recruitment agencies really have experience in the European Polymer market with the ability to track top talent. Our dedicated international division supports the recruitment needs of clients across all continents through a team of multi-lingual consultants and leading edge technology. To date we have been assigned to support a wide range of challenging briefs for both mutli-national and small privately owned companies across the world with an excellent record of success. We are the only global recruitment specialist that exhibits at some of the worlds key trade exhibitions which affords us the opportunity to meet with prospective candidates and to monitor global recruitment and HR trends. In recent times we have completed many major recruitment projects ranging from the recruitment of all executive, key management and engineering staff for new plastic packaging plants across the USA, through to sourcing polymer, petrochemical and chemical specialists for new multi million dollar development and technical centres in the Middle East. Our clients bene鍖t from not only a 35 year history in recruitment excellence but our ability to identify candidates operating in core market sectors from across the globe. From the beginning we had good expectations for our relationship with Listgrove and, I am happy to say, those expectations have been exceeded. The 鍖eld of plastics processing is a specialist one and not many human resources suppliers worldwide have the ability and skills to really know the issues and to be able to source and recommend candidates of the right calibre. Listgrove was able to do such a job for us in relation to our project management needs and was then able to go further with regard to our supplementary needs. Peter Creedon, Fremach Chief Executive Of鍖cer. I am responsible for the recruitment activities of SABIC Europe. With our leadership ambitions in mind we are looking for the best candidates in the market. It surprised me how few recruitment agencies really have experience in the European Polymer Market with the ability to track top talent. Listgrove is exceptional in this perspective and have been very helpful towards our recruitment activities.

Listgrove has close relationships with a range of specialist interim practitioners. Typical problems solved include gap management during recruitment, factory relocations / closures, sabbaticals, maternity leave and project management. I could not recommend the Executive Search team at Listgrove highly enough. They make the recruitment process very simple and have the core skills of being able to understand the needs of the client, offering candidates who could all 鍖t the job.

Outplacement Support Our Outplacement programmes are 鍖exible, innovative and tailored to each personal or company need following an initial career counselling session.

Listgrove used their extensive knowledge of the jobs market to guide and help my search campaign, by utilising my own personal network and setting up contacts with job banks. Until recently I have never been out of work and I found Listroves drive and expert guidance a very valuable tool during a very daunting time. If you ever 鍖nd yourself out of work, I would strongly recommend Listgrove who will help and guide you towards 鍖nding new career opportunities Outplacement Client - Andrew Chappell, Managing Director of an established 鍖exible packaging business.
