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.

"Working with Jordan and Alexander James Recruiting was a real pleasure, he was there at every stage of the process and found me a role that matched my needs and requirements, in, what appeared to be, a seamless and professional manner. I was kept up to date the whole way through and Jordan was always available to speak to even on days when I knew he was on annual leave. I thank Jordan for all of his help and although I would love to say I will use him again, I know I won’t have to as he found me a job that I love and I will be staying here for a long time to come."

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.

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.

I had been really struggling to get an interview, let alone a job, after graduating and had been contacted by many recruiters who I never heard back from. I was really loosing hope and then Alexander James Recruiting contacted me about an opportunity. Throughout the process the company was always updating me and communicating my questions and concerns to the employer. They made the application and interview process stress free and checked in before and after each step. I'm really enjoying my position now and am really thankful to Alexander James Recruiting for helping me get here.
