Advertising

Advertising can all too often be a hit or miss affair, particularly with skilled candidates (i.e., engineers). From time to time all individuals will be unhappy in their current role and start to look for other suitable opportunities. They often fail to find a position which suits their skill-sets or situation, so they just 'put up and shut up' and invariably stay where they are. It is the law of averages that a company will be advertising the week or the month after that ideal candidate was looking but the window of opportunity has all too often closed.

Many agencies have become lazy and out of date with their style of recruitment. When taking a position from their client they simply do what the client did in the first place - advertise and hope that they become luckier than their client - even though they are 'fishing in the same pond.'

Targeted Searches

When recruiting, Recart targets individuals who look suitable to a specific position or opportunity using its extensive network base and contacts. When targeted candidates are not looking for a move at a particular moment in time, our focussed consultants are often able to obtain referrals and so the 'word of mouth' style of recruitment begins.

Recart's approach to recruitment

Through our consistent, professional and proactive approach Recart has secured business with some of the UK’s leading organisations. Recart does not compete with what other agencies see to be a factor in ability to secure and maintain business. We believe in following simple and effective principles which provide our client base with successful recruitment solutions, time after time.

• Proactivity. The number one factor that distinguishes Recart from other agencies is that we are proactive. The vast majority of our recruitment success is carried out by methods of search and selection, referral, networking and head-hunting. Time after time we take on recruitment assignments after other agencies have failed in their attempts. Each time we successfully provide results and solutions by means of proactive candidate searches.
• Technical, engineering and executive specialists. Recart only deals with positions within our area of expertise and remit. This keeps us focussed, specific and knowledgeable.
• Counter-offer procedures. All of our consultants are trained in counter-offer procedures which we apply from the first conversation with a potential candidate. This vastly reduces the chances of a candidate being counter-offered at the final hurdle.
• Agency collaboration. Recart has collaborative relationships with other agencies. We believe shared market intelligence and supplier collaboration on some projects is the key for the successful supply of recruitment needs in certain circumstances.
• 100% retained assignment money-back guarantee. Our upfront collaboration and expertise ensures that we fill all roles that we decide to take on a retained basis. However, as assurance to our clients, Recart offers a full refund if we take on an assignment which we are unable to fill.
• Going the extra mile. All of our consultants are dedicated to providing specialist advice, not only to candidates that we can place but also to candidates who need practical, neutral market intelligence and career advice. All of our consultants have mobile phone numbers which are given to all of our candidates and clients, as we know that recruitment is not a 9-to-5 job.
• Positive attitude. Working from a positive, can-do attitude we apply excellence and integrity to everything we do. This work-style has provided successful results for us and it is something we pride ourselves on. Our resulting successes allow us to be confident in the projections we put forward.
