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.

Alexander James Recruiting contacted me around 6 months ago after seeing my CV online. They had a job in mind that fit my profile but didn’t jump to conclusions. They listened carefully to what I wanted from my career and asked many questions going to great lengths to understand me. I liked and respected this. This caring approach built a strong bond between us with trust being at the centre of it. They are real professionals in this field. They have a positive, helpful attitude that makes you feel at ease, which when looking for that next career move can be so reassuring. His personality is another one of his many qualities. I’d recommend Alexander James Recruiting to find you that perfect role.

Alexander James Recruiting has been a brilliant example of a recruiter. They took the time to understand my requirements, what I was willing to accept and what I wasn't willing to accept. My recruiter negotiated the best deal for me which was better than expected and has stayed in touch to ensure if I have any concerns that he can assist me. Their knowledge of the industry is unrivalled and I would not hesitate to recommend him in any instance.

"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."

Matt Gregory

In all my years of using recruiters, Rob by far has been absolutely one of the best I have had the pleasure to work with. Always on the phone, always there with support, from beginning to end. Rob made the whole process of working with him feel like I was getting a unique personal service. I can’t speak anymore highly of the service received from Rob. If I ever need a recruiter again Rob will be one of the first on my list without a second thought. He understands his clients requirements from both ends of the industry and goes above and beyond!
