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 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.

"Jordan went above and beyond to help me get the job I wanted. Explaining in detail the job role and the company. He has clearly got a fantastic business relationship with companies he works with and explained to them in detail about myself and background. Communication was key and Jordan always did what he said he would do! I had total trust with the professional style he kept and would highly recommend both him and Alexander James Recruiting for everything they have done."

Alex found my details on Linkedin ,made contact and introduced me to Titgemeyer( UK) Ltd. I subsequently attended interviews with them and commenced employment as their new ASM for the southern Region. Throughout the complete process from start to finish Alex was very supportive, professional and his communication skills between myself and my new Employer were excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alex to any company looking to recruit or professionals looking for a new opportunity.

They take the time to fully understand the requirements for each role & also to understand our companies' philosophies and dynamics. This all resulted in a great selection of candidates being presented to us.
