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.

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.

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.

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.
