Permanent Recruitment Explained

We're primarily a permanent recruitment specialist meaning we focus on job opportunities that involve placing individuals with organisations in a full time, permanent role. We work with companies to assist in creating job descriptions, job adverts and provide general industry and job specific advice before sourcing candidates through various means. We pre-screen candidates before sending CV's and facilitate the interview process by arranging and managing the interviews. If we're successful in placing a candidate with a company we charge a pre agreed fee based on a percentage of the agreed salary offered by the company to the candidate. If you're a company who has hired through us, you will also have an agreed rebate in place over a certain period which will provide a partial refund should the placement not work out.

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.  

To find out more about our fee and rebate structure please get in touch by emailing jobs@alexanderjamesrecruiting.co.uk and one of our team will be in touch or click 'contact us' below.

Candidate

"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."
