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 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.
