OUR RECRUITMENT PROCESS
EXTRACTING THE BRIEF
Identify short, medium and long-term priorities for the business. Apply a considerable amount of time and effort in extracting a correct and comprehensive brief for each position by ensuring we thoroughly understand the details of the role and the candidate requirements
REFERRALS
Check in office for top applicant referrals. We have a target at COREcruitment that 40% of our placed candidates will come via referrals and recommendations – good people tend to know good people.
We actively incentivise candidates to put us in touch with their friends/colleagues and contacts to find a higher number of ‘passive job seekers’
ADVERTISING
While our system is our first port of call, we will also advertise roles on appropriate sites as well as utilise our highly visible social media sites. All adverts will be posted with a high level of confidentially as will be the first response. For bulk campaigns we can conduct joint branded adverts.
SEARCHING – FIRST LEVEL
As mentioned, our system is a first port of call as we have an internal pre-screened candidate database of 550, 000 contacts identified COREcruitment also has access to many different external sites and social platforms that we use to search for candidates.
SEARCHING - ADVANCED
COREcruitment will actively target candidates from competitor/target businesses. We use a variety of techniques to make these approaches and only mention a client name when a sufficient level of relationship and trust are established.
SCREENING
COREcruitment have a multi-layered attraction method but our basic screening philosophy is very simple
1/3 Technical Ability
1/3 Culture Fit
1/3 Motivation
The next stage of our process is by initially screening a candidate by conducting a non-vacancy specific telephone conversation. This is because the candidates we register are matched on what they want to do –rather than what they apply for – this way we can find a much better long-term fit.
Upon identifying the candidate’s suitability, we then conduct a second face to face/ zoom interview which is more specific to the job at hand. During this interview not only do we present our client in the best possible light, but we feel it is important to properly brief the candidates on the vacancy and company.
CANDIDATE SUBMISSION AND CLIENT MEETINGS
Your Account Manager will:
• present long list of candidates for priority roles within an agreed timeframe, e.g. 1 week
• work with the client to distil a short list for scheduled first stage meetings
• assist the client in the recruitment process as candidate liaison
Allowing for travel we would hope the interview process to be completed and a candidate to be identified to offer within a 4 – 6-week period. This would allow for a three-stage client recruitment process.
OFFER, NEGOTIATION AND ON-BOARDING
• Client will select their preferred candidate.
• COREcruitment will act as mediator in negotiations (the package would have been confirmed
• Multiple times over the course of the recruitment process).
• Management of resignation and counter-offers.
• Onboarding and integration into business (regular contact for first six months).
