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.

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 have worked and known Alex for some time now. He is affable, friendly, charming and seems to genuinely care about his candidates. He is also the epitome of professionalism and very knowledgable within his sector. He introduced me into an absolute dream of a job 9 months ago which has just seen me take on a promotion.

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.
