The 'Passive' Candidate

The recruitment industry as a whole has too much of a focus on quick results. Thats why as a business we set ourselves apart by developing long term, sustainable relationships. At our core is the term 'passive' candidate. As a business, you want to employ the very best and ultimately have access to the small pool of individuals who are able to truly add value. This is where we come in. Alexander James Recruiting spends time getting to know those professionals seeking a move over a period of time looking to develop their career and in affect those who are often under the radar. This approach leads to more successful long term results for our clients and candidates alike.

For certain, specific recruitment projects we may recommend a retained option. This involves a partial, upfront payment in order to begin the search and a final payment upon placement of a candidate.

What our customers say

Candidate

I came across Alex and his company when scrolling through LinkedIn. I was ready for a change of job role, but was struggling to find the next move that met all my search criteria. I had several long chats with Alex, where overtime my requirements for my next role became clear to him. I must say, he really listened to my needs and only presented opportunities that would come close and if there was any difference he made the differences clear. He opened some doors for me that would have been very difficult to open myself. I've now started the role and so far it is everything that I was told it would be.

Luke Hill

National Business Development Manager at Still Materials Handling

Candidate

I left my previous role and within a few days a consultant at Alexander James Recruiting had found that I was looking for work on LinkedIn and contacted me. They had several vacancies to offer and after sending my CV they had me an interview within hours. They kept me well informed of progress and landed a second interview and consequently got a start date . They were a pleasure to deal with and managed the whole process until my start date by keeping in touch regarding my employment.
