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.

Great recruitment specialist who over the course of a few years approached me on a few roles however respected my boundaries and was in no way pushy when I declined them. When they had a role that matched my requirements they supported me through the whole process, eventually succeeding in placing me in that role. I would highly recommend Alexander James Recruiting to anyone looking to change roles or for companies looking for support in finding the right candidate for their business.

I had been really struggling to get an interview, let alone a job, after graduating and had been contacted by many recruiters who I never heard back from. I was really loosing hope and then Alexander James Recruiting contacted me about an opportunity. Throughout the process the company was always updating me and communicating my questions and concerns to the employer. They made the application and interview process stress free and checked in before and after each step. I'm really enjoying my position now and am really thankful to Alexander James Recruiting for helping me get here.

Alexander James Recruiting offer outstanding support and assistance in finding a new role. They are appointed by companies to recruit for them but they quite clearly want the best for the candidates too. They are very knowledgeable of the companies they are recruiting for and provide invaluable advice and guidance with regards to the interview process. Once I had been offered my new role they still remained in contact, ensuring I had received my offer / contract and was prepared for my first day. They have since been in touch asking how I’m getting on. I would highly recommend getting in touch with them for help finding your next new role.
