Expert Register

The refreshingly different talent matching service for the permanent and interim requirements of businesses like yours.		✓ Economic ✓ Effective ✓ Efficient ✓ Experienced ✓ Every time	✓ Permanent ✓ Interim ✓ Contract ✓ Consultants ✓ Non Execs

In a nutshell our USP is the care we take care of every detail to provide both recruiters and candidates with exceptional service.

We're different because our service is a logical extension of our 21 year focus on supporting and working with businesses engaged in direct commerce, rather than that of a generalist recruitment business pursuing this sector amongst others.

We're refreshing because we developed this service at the express request of leading sector direct commerce businesses. By developing the services that they wanted to be able to use and by operating confidentially as a standalone arm of Synergy Partnership Ltd., we met their objectives. They wanted the guarantee that all the work we do is carried out by dedicated senior people, with the personal input of our founder & MD.

It is this personal touch, our extensive personal network of contacts and indepth personal knowledge that makes the all important difference to our clients, and enables us to successfully service the most exacting of briefs.

You and your team will undoubtedly know some of our brands. Like Direct Commerce magazine (formerly Catalogue e-Business); ECMOD – the annual conference & exhibition; the ECMOD Awards; CataloguesCatalogues e-newsletter and, we also provide the full secretariat, communication and operating services for CatEx Direct Commerce Association.

Naturally having access to our own media – widely read e-newsletters, websites, print publications - means that we can spread the net for clients who wish to advertise their vacancies whether openly with their full branding or under our name. And importantly, we make no additional charge for this advertising for our Expert Register clients.

Add to this the very many key people we have come to know personally over many years and you can be sure that the search for your requirement will be expertly directed. Our network comprises seriously talented individuals at all career stages, spanning all the key disciplines and with proven experience gained in the right business environments. Then factor in the unrivalled near encyclopaediac knowledge of businesses operating in the sector – B2B, B2C, UK, International, and the full range of specialist supplier businesses which service the direct commerce sector. In short we really do know who's who and what's what and can readily identify top quality candidates for the most challenging roles within the most discerning businesses.

We don't consider ourselves to be a typical "recruitment business" but a service offering which has its clients' interests at its core. We take care of all the details. We research, we follow up, we sound out, we screen and we stand by every recommendation we make.

We also take exceptional care of the candidates who come to us seeking help with achieving their career objectives, which many these days seem not to do. From our perspective every contact we make is valuable and is valued.

No brief is too small, no brief is too difficult, and no brief is too much trouble.


Permanent	Interim	Contract
We help you fine tune your brief so we understand immediately not just what the skill requirement is but what personalities will fit best in your business. By the time we submit our shortlist of carefully screened candidates we will have checked out every last detail, secured verbal references, and sieved out those who do not meet the grade. We have also helped sector businesses to provide outplacement services when they have had no choice but to reduce permanent headcount and have helped their departing employees to secure comparable posts in other businesses.	This is a growing area for us and we have an excellent "bank" of talented executives at all levels and in most disciplines who relish opportunities to provide cover for fixed term requirements such as maternity and paternity leave, sabbatical and short as well as long term cover for permanent team members absent due to medical and personal emergencies. In addition many businesses are now opting to recruit interim personnel for specific projects where their own team lacks capacity or experience to deliver quality work on time. Whatever the reason for needing an Interim we are confident we can provide the perfect match.	In today's economy the fixed term contract is proving to be popular for both the employing company and the contractor. We have an excellent bank of candidates at all levels and in our all disciplines who enjoy the challenge and variety of working in different businesses. We are always happy to discuss your requirements and find the best solution for you.

		Non-Executive Directors Bringing the skills and experience of the right non-executive director onto your board is often a key requirement of venture capital and equity investors. A good non-exec can also help steer your business through restructuring, growth, raising capital, divesting all or part of the business. We can assist in finding the perfect match for your business, scoping the requirement, and in negotiating the fees.

Consultants
There are numerous independent consultants in the market, many of whom can bring excellent input to your business – but it can be a minefield when it comes to selecting the best for your specific requirement and knowing that you are paying the right amount. Consultants register with us in order that we represent and recommend them when wholly appropriate projects for their skill sets and their experience arise. Following an in depth discussion with you, we will make recommendations based upon your specific requirement, your objectives and your budget. Many of our consultants are also expert trainers and can be called upon to deliver in-house team development programmes and courses.

Should we be talking?

There's nothing to lose & lots to gain.
