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

This year I had decided to change my career path and Alexander James Recruiting gave me a call in regards to my current position. They called very regularly making sure I was okay during the interview process both before and after. Within two weeks I had a new role from the first point of contact to an offer of employment. Even now they regularly check up on me to make sure I have settled in and am enjoying my new role. Probably the best recruiter I have had dealings with. 10/10.

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.

"I contacted Alexander James Recruiting after a new employment opportunity that I took up, didn’t work out. I felt like I was in an extremely vulnerable position at the time and they did everything they could to put me in front of a new employer in a timely fashion. Not only did they act swiftly but they also acted with my best interests at heart and found a really good match, both for me and the new company. A great recruitment company who also open up a good emotional connection."

Alexander James Recruiting are a fantastic recruitment company. From our first conversation, it was clear that they have a passion for what they do and always put the candidate first. My experience with them couldn’t of gone better, the communication was constant, honest and professional. They helped me with tips for interviews and connected me with other colleagues the company had placed once I received an offer. I cannot recommend them enough and will keep in touch.

I want to start off and give a BIG Thank you to Alex for his dedication and commitment in assisting me to find my dream career place of work and having the patients with all the ups and downs with interviews.

I have dealt with Alex since last year 2019 being in SA before I came to the UK we had begun our search for me. In September 2020 I landed and December 2020 I have been successful and was offered my dream Job and my dream Career. Alex puts in all the effort and time, just be patient and it will happen for you.

Having searched for a new job for a few months Alexander James' website popped up and within a week they'd introduced me to a couple of companies looking to recruit, one of which have now employed me. Even in these difficult times Alex worked hard to find me a new job and I’d recommend his company to anyone looking to move forward in their career.
