What makes us different
At Sussex Recruitment our belief is that “we work to live, not live to work”. An old cliché it might be but as we all spend a long time working it’s important to try and make it as enjoyable as possible. Therefore our aim is to put the most suitable candidates together with the best clients, and in doing so make the working environment both fulfilling and enjoyable. The client/candidate relationship should be one of respect and confidence, working together to maximize strengths to achieve a rewarding work/life balance.
We will endeavour to visit every client wherever possible, to provide us with a clear understanding of your business operation and recruitment needs. Because we employ people with both business and recruitment backgrounds, our extensive experience allows us to see the recruitment process from the employer’s perspective, enabling us to look at the complete picture more objectively. We don’t try to put a square peg in a round hole just to fill the vacancy. We really listen to your requirements, and concentrate on fulfilling your needs, providing more than the standard search and selection process. This way we are confident of identifying the most suitable candidates for the interview stage.
Understanding our clients
Sussex Recruitment sources candidates specifically with our clients’ requirements in mind. We know every client is different, so we need to evaluate your business and spend time getting to know you. We believe in visiting our clients, helping you through the recruitment process using our many years of experience to achieve the best results and exceed expectations.
We pride ourselves in paying attention to your detail and believe that good communication is paramount to understanding your precise needs; therefore our initial research will be crucial to finding the most suitable candidate.
Managing the selection process
Our selection process ensures that the candidate’s skills match the job specification. Not only are we searching for a skills match, but individuals who will work well within the job profile and the company environment and ethos. We have an extensive database of personnel at our fingertips, together with specially developed marketing campaigns and our website recruitment process, we have a flexible approach to the strategy required to ensure you have an exclusive and appropriate short list.
All potential candidates are chosen with care, using a meticulous screening process, to ensure each person has been thoroughly assessed. In depth interviews are conducted both on the telephone and in person in order to get a really good idea of all round capability.
We ensure we have at least two references, which are always checked and we run CRB and eligibility to work checks whenever necessary.
At Sussex Recruitment we have specially selected software that we use for aptitude and skill tests, so we can assess the capability of the individual to ensure only those candidates with the relevant experience are considered for your company. Our latest software technology allows us to verify the level of specific IT skills in all of the most frequently used programmes. We can also use this technology to provide further training for candidates wherever necessary.
