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 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.
