advertising
searching
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’.
While our existing database of candidates is our first port of call, we also place adverts on 23 specifically targeted, UK and international job boards. We advertise using the latest keyword and SEO insights available. All adverts are posted with a high level of confidentiality.
We actively target candidates from competitor businesses. We use a variety of techniques in our approach all while maintaining the strictest of confidentiality.
recruitment process three stage screening process •
The first stage of our process is to initially screen 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 telephone 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. It is important that we match this with the reality of the job role and the problems that the candidate might encounter.
•
If we find suitable candidates beyond this stage, we then ask them to come into the office for a face to face interview. This process may seem exhaustive however, we believe this is necessary to get a complete feel of not only the candidate’s experience, but their personality and work attitude.

Recently, we have been exhibiting at industry specific trade shows. This is not only to reinforce our brand awareness within the industry, but to also be on hand to offer advice to both clients and candidates.
Consultants make a conscious effort to attend any relevant networking events, so when we say we know the industry inside out- we really do! Working within these niche areas also means consultants are
We offer branded advertising packages to all of our clients. This means all advertising is done under the client’s name and brand but all the hard work and heavy-lifting is handled by us.
Candidate Attraction
Our network Each consultant at COREcruitment has a niche area that they work in, and within this niche area they are part of many different network groups. Consultants use these network groups to their advantage.
branded advertising
open days
constantly working on similar roles. Therefore, consultants know as soon as they receive a vacancy who is available, who would be suitable and who may have a referral. Some of our top candidates are known as ‘passive candidates’ which means they are not actively looking but we always keep an eye out for them and contact them if any suitable roles come up.
One of our popular methods of attracting candidates is organising Open Days. Essentially they are an opportunity for potential members of staff to visit your business at one of your locations, interact with your team to further our understanding of your business.
we’re global We have a far-reaching global presence. With offices in 8 countries including: England, Scotland, Holland, France, Thailand, South Africa, Canada and the USA and sub-bases in the Middle East, Australia and Ireland, we have access to the candidates others simply cannot reach.

regional recruiters Another one of our bespoke candidate service is having a regional recruiter. As we service the whole of the UK from our London head office, we understand some candidates may not be able to come down to meet us. Therefore, we send a consultant up to various locations for a day where they meet with candidates in that area.
psychometrics
sponsorship We are very active in sponsoring upcoming events within the industry. This includes networking drinks, award dinners and fun social events. We are also one of the main sponsors of the Building Futures Group Boat Party. As a team we have a couple of charities that are close to us such as Springboard Foodchain, MacMillan and Beyond Autism and support them as much as possible .
We also have the ability to use our in house system of psychometric testing. We have found this especially useful as part of the recruitment process to double check that a candidate has the appropriate ability levels to be successful in a role.
In 2019 we are the fastest growing UK recruitment agency on LinkedIn
social media We have developed a comprehensive social strategy that includes the use of channels like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube to engage with members of your potential talent pool. We have the tools to effectively advertise and market latest jobs through E-marketing and Social Media which successfully targets a large proportion of suitable candidates.
