The Hard Truths of Recruitmemt

Published on January 8

Are you sitting there thinking recruiters have it easy? Do you think it's just a case of sending a cv and job done?


This is where we tell you it really isn't that straight forward - We put our heart and souls into our work - we get to know our candidates even down to their favourite food. You aren't a number to us. We will fight for you for your deserved salary.


Even our very best recruiters are rejected on an almost daily basis. It could be someone refusing to take their call, a candidate turning down the role, or even a client telling them point blank they don't want to work with you. Daily knock backs are almost guaranteed but we put 110% in our candidate and client relationships to ensure you get your perfect role because helping you is our number 1 ethos.


This post is aimed at giving a little insight into standard working practices, how we work with hiring processes, and why that leads to some of the experiences commonly talked about. It’s about expectation management.


70% of candidates aren’t looking for a job, and these are the best candidates who we work with and usually move to a new opportunity when they least expect it.


If you think its strange that I’ve started an article on ‘The Hard Truths of Recruitment’ with a discussion on candidates, it’s simply because our relationship with our candidates is a sign of how we work with employers.

Without placing candidates in one form or another, it is deeply integrated into how we work.

When the heaven and the stars align, and we make that long desired placemrnt there is no better feeling

We love that we have helped someone with their career, possibly one of the most important areas of their life, and almost certainly one that directly impacts them and their family's happiness and future security.

We will also have changed and impacted our client’s business, for the better.

So it really isn't that easy and we always work late into the night to get your CV to our clients we never leave you until the next morning we want to help you straight away.

We are a team of parents and will always put you on the same pedastall as our family because we feel you are just as important to us as our family/children.

We are here for you and always will be.
