As a specialist HR recruitment agency, we are fortunate to have built up many HR connections over the years. HR is a pretty close-knit industry and fortunately through the help of LinkedIn and other online communities, it’s fairly easy to keep in touch. So one of the most obvious places we find our candidates is in our existing network, on our database where we store all the details of our HR contacts.

As part of your fee, we will advertise your vacancy on LinkedIn and other job boards to maximise visibility of the role. For more niche hires, we will also lean on specialist job boards to help us tap into additional talent pools.

Market mapping and head-hunting are also key tactics we use for more specialist hires where our client has a very tight brief around the ideal candidate profile. In this instance we will map the market to identify a target list of potential candidates and then use our tried and tested approach sequence to get them interested in your role.

Our approach sequence combines a number of tailored emails with a bespoke website that we have created to promote your opportunity. This website will include details of the positions, a bunch of FAQs and some rich media generally in the form of video.

We find this approach is super effective for piquing the interest of passive candidates who weren’t necessarily looking for a new role before they heard from us.

Finally, we also find referrals to be an incredible source of target candidates. Whilst sometimes the candidates we approach about an opportunity might not be interested themselves, they are generally always very happy to make a recommendation of someone else who might be worth us considering.

These candidates tend to have very strong profiles and land well with our clients.
