We're not a library

If only I had a dollar for every time I’m asked “Got any interesting roles/candidates on your books?”   Thankfully, we don’t have a vast ledger of ‘open’ positions that we try to fill, nor do we stockpile great recruiters without representing them to our clients if we think that a firm would offer them a great career move. If we did, I’d really need that dollar. 

Like the majority of us in recruitment, it’s a rare day that the planets align and we get a call from a client and a call from a candidate with the right combination of skills and competencies on the same day.  Yes, some days recruitment is fast but, in my experience at least, career moves don’t happen over night.  Like any other career, recruitment is a strategic game and one which should be thought through and played well.  All too often we get calls from recruiters knee jerking from a bad quarter or a bad day and they’re ready to blow the whistle. 

If you’re serious about turning a new page of your career, you should be talking to us today about moving forward ‘tomorrow’.  It has taken time to hone your skills and learn the intricacies of recruitment so it stands to reason that it is also worth taking some time to explore your own options.  One man’s ‘interesting role’ is another man’s road to boredom. 

So no.  We don’t have a mythical book filled with interesting roles you can flick through on the shelf.  But we do have the time and the inclination to sit down to discuss the sort of company you’d like to work for and the type of recruitment that excites you. More importantly, we can help you write your own next chapter and given time, make it a reality.
