I recently received a staggering 625 applicants for a Head of Finance position - so no wonder so many of our clients are telling us they are confident with their advert response. But does a high volume of strong applications guarantee success? Not always. 🤔 One of our clients, a fantastic brand, unsurprisingly saw an excellent response to their recent job posting. They reached the final stage with an outstanding candidate, only for the candidate to reject the offer with multiple other options on the table and actually ultimately accept a 30% salary increase from their current employer. This scenario underlines the value of partnering with a trusted recruitment agency. While we may not get it right every single time, we significantly reduce the risk of restarting the process after a major investment of time and resources. For us, it’s not just about presenting the right CVs—it’s about managing the entire recruitment process seamlessly to ensure no surprises as best as we can. We sit in the privileged position of adding value through our; Market Expertise: We know how busy internal TA teams are balancing sourcing across a plethora of functions alongside driving strategy and operations. A trusted specialist recruitment partner can support by providing that deep rooted industry and functional expertise needed to make more informed decisions. Ability to Predict and Control: We build long term relationships with candidates, focused on building trust and an understanding of what truly motivates them both professionally and personally. This includes building a detailed picture of their job search including their other ongoing processes and needs, which allows us to predict any risks and manage processes effectively. Passive Network Access: We connect you with passive candidates your internal team might not have the time or capacity to reach. We live and breathe the markets and functions in which we specialise and spend time building relationships with both candidates and clients who are able to refer and reference the best talent. If you are looking to bolster your recruitment processes then please do get in touch, we’d love to hear from you! #Recruitment #Hiring #TalentAcquisition #FinanceJobs #AccountingJobs #CareerOpportunities #MarketTrends #TrustedPartner #SuccessStories
