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 came highly recommended to me and I can certainly second that. They took the time to understand me, and my experience to ensure that I was suitable for the role, as well as to fit into the company I was to be placed at and kept constant communication open with me through the entire process, including managing the process around my timeline of moving country.

Having operated in the industry and within numerous sectors for many years, I have dealt with many recruitment companies and head-hunters, Alexander James has proven to be a highly professional specialist in their field, a very straight forward no nonsense honest approach demonstrating a wealth of knowledge whilst maintaining social interaction throughout the engagement.

Brian Cornett

CEO - Nixon Hire

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

I came across Alex and his company when scrolling through LinkedIn. I was ready for a change of job role, but was struggling to find the next move that met all my search criteria. I had several long chats with Alex, where overtime my requirements for my next role became clear to him. I must say, he really listened to my needs and only presented opportunities that would come close and if there was any difference he made the differences clear. He opened some doors for me that would have been very difficult to open myself. I've now started the role and so far it is everything that I was told it would be.

This year I had decided to change my career path and Alexander James Recruiting gave me a call in regards to my current position. They called very regularly making sure I was okay during the interview process both before and after. Within two weeks I had a new role from the first point of contact to an offer of employment. Even now they regularly check up on me to make sure I have settled in and am enjoying my new role. Probably the best recruiter I have had dealings with. 10/10.
