Finding and attracting staff of the right calibre represents a major challenge to employers. The HR Practice offer our clients a uniquely-focused recruitment and selection service, providing rapid access to the very best candidates.
Full UK Coverage
 We supply staff throughout the UK. This means that we can consider not only candidates who are local to you, but also the best in the region and nationwide, giving you the broadest possible choice.
Our Clients
Our clients cover the spectrum of UK industry and commerce ranging from family-run businesses to blue chip manufacturers, and include plcs, large financial organisations, as well as multi-national companies. All receive the same outstanding level of service.
What makes us different?
In the UK there are very few specialist companies supplying the personnel we offer. Unlike our competitors, we have never diversified - we concentrate solely on providing a first-rate recruitment service within our specific sectors. All of our efforts and attention are focused on attracting the widest range of tailored candidates in order to select the best for your company.
Our Database
Our database of candidates is possibly the most extensive, comprehensive and up-to-date of its kind in the UK containing over 20,000 live contacts. In addition we have access to many many more through internet CV databases, advertising on the internet job sites, as well as traditional media methods.
How we do it
We use ‘Voyager’, the most modern recruitment software. We hold the CVs and requirements of all candidates registered with us on our computer system, allowing us to analyse our database thoroughly and swiftly. We can search for candidates under numerous criteria, including preferred work locations, qualifications, salary level, skills, discipline and experience. CVs can be submitted on request in the most convenient format to you: by post, fax or e-mail.
Where do we get our candidates from?
The number of candidates registered with us increases each week as a result of:
- Direct advertising in the industry trade magazines including:
- People Management
- Personnel Today
- CIPD
- Our excellent industry reputation and word of mouth referrals
- Our internet web pages
- On-line internet CV databases
- General marketing, including listings in Yellow Pages, Yell, Market Focus, all major UK search engines and many other hard copy and internet directories.

Our regular service to clients for ‘Contingency’ recruitment is a database search. Using this service a company may order or enquire in to the availability of a particular type of person.
WE CHARGE ON RESULTS ONLY
NO PLACEMENT NO FEE
After taking an in-depth job description and person specification from you, we carry out an interrogation of our extensive database using many criteria (from preferred work location, qualifications, salary level, skills, discipline and experience). We can submit a shortlist of suitable candidates to you, whom we have contacted, that have agreed on their suitability and have given us permission to submit their CV. We are able to search and submit to you not only the most local candidates from your area but the most suitable candidates from across the UK.
We advertise regularly in regional and national newspapers, specialist trade magazines, internet recruitment sites including: Jobtrack, Jobsin, Go Jobsite, and, by no means least, our own website, where candidates can access jobs updated daily.
In addition to searching our database, we can search the databases of various internet on-line cv dataanks we subscribe to including: Jobtrack and Go Jobsite.
In addition to searching our database exceeding 20,000 candidates, we can search the databases of various internet on-line CV databanks we subscribe to including: - Monster, Job Track etc
We can then submit a short list of candidates and their CVs to you by your preferred format: post, fax or e-mail, with the intention of this leading to interview dates and times all of which we will arrange on your behalf.
A truly cost-effective way to recruit, as there is no outlay on your part for costly adverts which may or may not bring in suitable candidates, only paying us if we are successful.

- Retained assignments (more details)
|
This service is similar to the database search in one aspect, but we try to take the ‘chance’ element out of recruitment. We understand that if you have a vacancy in your department that it needs filling. An agency coming back to you with the response that there are no suitable candidates, even if you have not been charged, still does not fulfil your staffing requirement. By retaining our company to satisfy your vacancy you will liase with an account manager who handles your vacancy from start to finish, the completion being a successful placement of a candidate.

- Client-paid advertising (more details)
|
Often good candidates don’t respond to advertisements because they don’t recognise the company name, or they do and don’t like the company, or the ad just doesn’t appeal to them. We can help - as well as designing the ad to attract more applicants - by using our details, we can capture those candidates that would not normally apply - and those that would. This ‘blind’ advertising also ensures that your company is not inundated with irrelevant responses and an endless stream of calls.

- Advertisement response on behalf of our clients (more details)
|
Whether a large company or organisation with a number of HR staff or a smaller concern with no HR department, we can take away the time-consuming job of handling the response to your recruitment advert. Depending on the position(s), and the media being used you may receive many calls from applicants enquiring or applying for your position(s). Though welcomed it may block an already busy switchboard or reception with calls or stop a hectic HR department from carrying out their other duties. We can assist by, at a minimum, receiving these phone calls, and mail response, sifting through them if required and presenting you with a short list. The majority of applicants though eager are never suitable and may delay the speed in which the more suitable applicants are seen and hired.

- Executive Search & Selection, Head Hunting (more details)
Sometimes search databases and advertising for that special candidate is simply not enough. If that person you require is a specialist or has many years of management experience or change management experience, we posses the skills and systems to quickly locate the candidate that could make a difference to your business. We have options available to us including: contact networking, advertising, accessing our own company database of some 50,000 companies, specialist company databases. The old cliché applies, ‘the person you are looking for, may not be looking for you’.
WE CAN HELP with discretion and professionalism. We can arrange a meeting at your offices or ours to discuss your requirements in detail, whereupon we can examine the target areas, companies and contacts and outline an assignment process.
