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.

Mike Wilshaw

Project Sales Manager - Warehouse Storage Solutions

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.

Carrlla-Simone Kennedy

Contracts Manager - ThyssenKrupp

Candidate

I cannot recommend Alexander James Recruiting highly enough. Within a few days of my initial contact, the consultants had several job opportunities for me and put themselves out to make sure they were putting me forwards for roles that were a good match for both myself and the employer. Always available on the phone for advice or just a general chat. I'm very happy in the role they found me but if I ever need to make another move, Alexander James Recruiting will be the first place I call.

Mike Ayliffe

Regional Account Manager - Filstorage

Candidate

I left my previous role and within a few days a consultant at Alexander James Recruiting had found that I was looking for work on LinkedIn and contacted me. They had several vacancies to offer and after sending my CV they had me an interview within hours. They kept me well informed of progress and landed a second interview and consequently got a start date . They were a pleasure to deal with and managed the whole process until my start date by keeping in touch regarding my employment.

Derek Richardson

Business Development Manager - Bennie Equipment

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.

Ben Hurdman

Regional Sales Manager - Terberg DTS

Candidate

I would recommend any sales professional in the material handling industry to discuss their career options with Alexander James. They have a wide base of clients within this sector and related industries and work tirelessly to provide opportunities. Throughout the interview process they were both helpful and professional in ensuring I felt comfortable at all times and really put the effort in to ensure everything went through.
