We are hearing from many of our clients that job ads are not attracting the right calibre of candidates for them. Our clients choose to work with us because we are specialists in the plumbing and heating, hardware and KBB industry with a database built up over 10 years and a network of talent that we can tap into for your opportunity.

candidate as quickly as possible. Providing detailed information is key to achieving this. Start with a clear and detailed job description. We recommend having an initial call with your recruiter to discuss the role. This builds the relationship and allows the recruiter to ask questions you might not have considered. Discuss aspects beyond the job description, such as cultural fit, role challenges and team dynamics. A thorough initial discussion can significantly enhance the recruitment process from the start. 4. COMMUNICATE REGULARLY Regular communication with your recruiter is essential, especially when you start working with a new agency. Provide detailed feedback on why certain applications aren’t progressing. This helps refine the search process and saves time. Keep your recruiter informed about your progress through the recruitment stages and notify them if you fill the role. By following these tips, you can forge a successful partnership with your recruiter, making the hiring process smoother and more effective. Happy recruiting!
