As the economy begins to accelerate its way out of recession, many businesses are currently planning to strengthen their teams. This is creating considerable demand in many key skill areas. However, what we are finding is that every recruitment decision is now subject to far greater scrutiny than ever before, and that it is taking much longer for offers to be made and appointments to be confirmed. There is also growing demand for Interim staff for project based assignments and leave cover – with some successfully completed assignments resulting in permanent appointments.

At expert register ™ we acknowledge that every applicant who comes to us is different and that, even during leaner times, there are many skill sets for which there is growing demand. Many of the most talented candidates prefer to conduct their search for a new role discreetly via a specialist like expert register ™. The key difference is that we can usually open more of the most appropriate (and exciting) doors as well as, being a third party, better represent you. It is a people business – revolving around the people we know and who know us and trust us.

We know how difficult it is to target your job search and handle it discreetly. At expert register ™ we ensure that you are professionally represented and are treated fairly and honestly. We will never put you forward for roles that aren’t appropriate, or feed you empty promises. What will do, once we have discreetly taken up references, and gotten to know more about you, is speak to carefully identified potential employers who we think would be interested in what you can bring to them.

At expert register ™ because we take care to invest the time fact finding with client businesses we achieve a complete understanding of their needs. This means we have a brief which takes in all aspects – from skill set, to best personality fit, career path to specific merchandise vertical, and individual working style – with which we can seek the best matches from the expert register ™ candidate database as well as the databases of our related businesses.

As the economy begins to accelerate its way out of recession, many businesses are now in a position to assess their longer term requirements and are planning to strengthen their teams. This will create considerable demand in many key skill areas. However, what we are finding is that every recruitment decision is now subject to far greater scrutiny than ever before.

At expert register ™ we acknowledge that every requirement is different and that, even in what has been termed ‘an employers’ market’, many of the most talented candidates prefer to conduct their search for a new role discreetly via a specialist firm like ours.

Just as an employer abhors wasting time sifting through hundreds of inappropriate CVs, candidates are tired of being put forward for roles that aren’t for them. At expert register ™ we take care to invest the time fact finding with client businesses to achieve a complete understanding of their needs. By focusing in this way we arrive at a brief which takes in all aspects – from skill set, to personality, career path to specific merchandise vertical, and individual working style – with which to steer our search to those most likely to be a perfect fit. We can, of course, also advise on an appropriate remuneration range and other benefits which will make the package on offer more appealing to the right candidate.

At expert register ™ we never put forward candidates we haven’t met. We always secure references – and, most of all we use our sector knowledge and our extensive range of personal contacts – as well as the media we bring to the table – to ensure that every assignment results in a successful outcome for all parties.
