Employers

We are a boutique recruitment agency who pride ourselves in being open and honest in our dealings with clients and candidates alike.

With over 17 years experience, we know that no two companies are identical. Let us tell you about our flexible approach to solving your requirements and how we can support you in the development of your human capital.

Our Clients are our partners, we act together to solve their immediate and long-term business goals. We listen to their unique situation and then we work to locate the people who have the skills and experience they require for success. Whatever the need, we find a solution.

At Upfront Recruitment, we are passionate about the people we work with - let us partner with you to find the right people to grow your business.

In today's economic environment, it is critical to ensure that new team members are right for you. With increasing demands and pressure placed on current staff to work at 100% capacity and the fact most managers are time poor, more and more companies are looking to utilise the services of a professional organisation that can and will add value to your business while being cost effective in the search for new talent.

Upfront Recruitment recruits personnel specifically for you. This means that we ensure that you are supplied with candidates whose skills and attributes meet your requirements. Only when we are completely satisfied that we have found the people who will succeed in your role do we discuss the short list with you. If we cannot give you what you want, then we will tell you.

The Upfront Recruitment process includes:

Taking the Inital Job Brief: When Upfront Recruitment comes out to discuss your recruitment requirements, we are not happy just taking away a position description. We believe that to recruit well it is imperative to have a full understanding of your requirements. So when taking a job brief, we will sit down and discuss your organisations values, so that we can uncover your cultural requirements. In addition, we will discuss the expected outcomes of the role and the critical success factors. This allows us to recruit not to a position description, but a full job and person profile.

·Resume Checks: All resumes are screened to assess candidate suitability against the job brief taken by our consultants.

·Search: Utilizing our network to source people who may not be officially "on the market".

· Pre-Screen: Once candidates have been assessed on paper against the job brief, they are called so that verbal confirmation of a job match is completed.

· Interview: Successful candidates are invited to attend a comprehensive interview to further assess suitability.

·Testing: Dependant on the role, we conduct complete skill testing of candidates.

·Reference Checking: Upon successful completion of interviews, candidates are reference checked to confirm details provided in their resume and interview. Not only do we confirm skills, we confirm behaviour and character along with success factors.

· Personality Profiling: Where appropriate, personality profiling is completed utilizing SkillCheck Identity or McQuaig Word Surveys.

·2^nd Interview: Where inconsistencies occur between candidate information, reference checking and testing, candidates are re- interviewed.
