How often have you been left without any contact from agency or organisation wondering if we are wanted? We won’t do this, all your candidates belong to you we just give them the best possible experience and through screening before they meet you so HR or your Line Managers are not wasting time seeing unsuitable candidates. We are your in-house outsourced partner for recruitment.
You pay for the job boards or social media, we agree a tight time scale for short list and ensure your EVP (employee value proposition) is held in the highest regard. We act as a true extension of your organisation, by understanding its values and making them our own while working with you.
I have been in recruitment for 30 years, during the past 10 years I've had the opportunity to recruit in house in diverse organisations as interim Head of Resourcing and Talent. Due to experience and an in-depth understanding of the Client Company, my success rate at short list to offer is phenomenal in all categories and at all levels. Now wanting to continue recruiting as I just love this part of the role, and so set up Elmley Associates.
We sell your organisation to these candidates as everyone is a potential customer for you. The experience is quick and convenient-so no time off work for the candidate at this stage, we can also work anywhere in the country/world to do this as the evaluation is home based.
The shortlist is then sent to you by email on the pre-agreed date. You can either choose to see the information first or we can book these matching candidates into face to face interviews directly. We will also screen your internal candidates so everyone goes through the same recruitment process making it fair and transparent for all.
All the candidates belong to you so you can re-cycle them at any time; remember they wanted to work for your company.
We offer a full replacement for anyone who joins you from us up to 10 weeks. We are that confident they will stay. You may need to re-advertise if we do not have any suitable candidates from your original ads, which you will need to pay for.
Often you have a role and know of someone from a past organisation, or a member of your Company does, who you would like to join the team. It can be difficult and sometimes even unethical for you to approach them, we can do this on your behalf, confidentially in the first instance and gauge their level of interest. Then ensure they have the skills you seek as well as making sure they are happy with the package on offer before they need to know who has approached them. We can also engage in conventional Head Hunting using our researcher who will provide a contact list for you to agree our contacting prior to our doing so on your behalf. Costs are dependent on what you require, based on time taken.
Having spent many years writing and assisting line managers to ‘compose’ these, we are well placed to assist with this part of the recruitment process. If you need to have them evaluated for Hay then we can use this format or a simpler template.
We can run workshops to assist your line managers in asking the right questions and then listening/evaluating the candidate’s answers. These can be run for new or existing Managers and usually last about a day. These sessions will be tailored to your own company needs and requirements.
This is a very important part of any recruitment campaign and is vital in building a good reputation for your companies’ brand. We take this very seriously and always ask you to provide us with this to pass on to the candidates.
If you do not let us know what we can change or improve to help us work more in partnership with you, then we cannot improve, so we ask for a review meeting after each campaign.
