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.

Alex has helped me a lot during this uncertain time. After being made redundant Alex and I spoke a lot on the phone. He found the perfect company to fit my skills and career desires. I couldn’t have done it with out him. I strongly recommend Alex as a skilled recruiter with contacts that can help you progress your career going forward. As a former recruiter myself I find Alex a rare breed as far as the constant contact and chats we had!! I can’t thank him enough

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.

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.
