A thorough consultation period prior to commencement of the search
campaign ensures that we identify and target the candidates best suited to
your requirements, representing only those with the ability to innovate and
drive your organisation forward.

Source
We use a variety of resourcing techniques to identify the highest calibre of
candidates in the FM and Real Estate sectors. We work hard to understand
the motivation, ambition and aspirations of those that we represent
which means that we source professionals committed to looking for new
opportunities to further their
careers rather than those dipping a toe in to the water to
assess the market.
• Approach established network for leads and referrals
• Strategic advertising campaign on agreed websites and social media
• Account Manager to host and attend relevant networking events
• Pre-screen ‘long list’ of applicants to establish their motivation,
aspiration and vision

We want the search campaign to have as little impact upon your time
as possible. To make sure of this we take the time to refine the search
prior to presenting a shortlist of applicants. There will be no surprises
during the interview process, ensuring a swift and efficient recruitment
campaign.
• Account Manager will meet and interview ‘long list’ based on criteria
defined in consultation period
• Take informal references where possible
• Establish salary and package expectations – no surprises
• Identify shortlist
• Psychometric tests
• Assessment of technical competence where relevant
• Present shortlist and candidate reports

Using our vast experience of salary and package negotiation we work with
you to ensure successful completion of the search campaign. Our work isn’t
finished there though. Where relevant we commit to ‘upskilling’ each candidate
we place with health and safety or environmental management training
accredited by IOSH or IEMA. We do this because we know that it helps reduce
churn, enables your staff to align themselves closely with the organisations’ CSR
policies but perhaps most importantly allows you to demonstrate a uniform
level of competence in terms of compliance to your clients. Additionally where
required we will carry out any associated public relations work related to the
appointment. This leaves you the time to concentrate on your core business
requirements.
• Client interviews
• Constructive feedback to candidates maintaining excellent public relations
for the client
• Offer and package negotiation
• Agree commencement dates
• Press release to pre agreed media
• Client satisfaction survey
• Accredited health and safety or environmental management training
