Recruitment Services
Our recruitment services focus on matching candidates to roles through cultural assessment and skill evaluation. We specialise in management and executive placements across training, engineering, and IT sectors. By understanding both client requirements and candidate motivations, we achieve high interview-to-offer ratios. Our process includes job description review and six-month post-placement support.
Outplacement Support
Bespoke redundancy services help employees transition to new opportunities. Using NLP techniques, we develop personalised programmes that enhance self-awareness and job search effectiveness. Our support includes interview preparation and tailored job market strategies, ensuring clients receive practical assistance during career transitions.
i3 Profiling
i3 Profiling identifies instinctive behavioural indicators to improve team dynamics and personal confidence. As accredited practitioners, we use this tool for recruitment and employee development. The assessment helps organisations understand individual contributions to team environments, enhancing both hiring decisions and workplace collaboration.
Executive Search
Specialist executive search services identify C-suite and director-level candidates. We focus on passive candidates not accessible through traditional methods, leveraging our industry network. Our process includes in-depth role analysis and cultural alignment assessments to secure long-term leadership solutions.
Management Recruitment
Targeted management recruitment covers sectors like manufacturing, sales, and HR. We prioritise understanding organisational culture to find suitable leaders. Our regional expertise in the North East, combined with national reach, ensures access to qualified management professionals for permanent roles.
