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 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.

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.
