<\/p>\n\n\t<\/p>\n
\n\tIt\u2019s easy to say you\u2019re client driven, who isn’t? <\/span><\/p>\n \n\tIt\u2019s also easy to say that you\u2019re candidate driven, but without a tool to prove it and hold us accountable to our candidates, it would be all talk – and for many recruiters, that\u2019s all it is.<\/p>\n \n\tMost recruiters are client-first businesses – after all, the client is the one paying the bill – but we believe that <\/span>great candidate experience results in great client service<\/strong>. As recruiters we\u2019re taking the client\u2019s reputation to our candidates. If the candidate is informed, engaged and respected, that reflects well on the client, creating a positive experience for them and us.<\/p>\n \n\tTo guarantee that experience to every candidate, <\/span>our ten point charter is backed by tangible, measurable indicators of how we perform against our commitments<\/strong>. It\u2019s built into the daily operation of our business to make sure we commit to the charter: we even stake our consultants\u2019 bonuses on it.<\/p>\n \n\tHere\u2019s how it works – for candidates and clients alike.<\/p>\n \n\tWe want our candidates to find work that\u2019s right for you<\/span><\/strong>. We won\u2019t achieve that with cheap tricks, desperate counter-offers, or pushing for fast recruitment turnarounds by forcing candidates and clients together.<\/p>\n \n\tEven if your CV is a perfect match for the job and person spec, we will ask for your consent before sending it in, every time. <\/span>You choose the roles you want to pursue<\/strong>; our clients know you want to be there.<\/p>\n \n\tOur approach acknowledges that there\u2019s more to recruitment than hours and wages. Structure, formality, ethos and managerial style are all part of the workplace experience. <\/span>You need to know what to expect<\/strong>; our clients need to know you\u2019re on board.<\/p>\n \n\tWe know <\/span>you want to focus on interview performance<\/strong> – not keeping track of dates and times, or chasing for details. We know clients want to see you at your best – collected, prepared, and in control – so we help you perform by eliminating stress.<\/p>\n \n\t \n\tYou don\u2019t have the time to worry about applications<\/strong>.<\/span> If there\u2019s no prospect of employment, you need to know sooner rather than later. We will keep you informed whether it\u2019s good news or bad.<\/p>\n \n\tYou\u2019re putting your career in our hands<\/strong>.<\/span> We respect that. You are never just another candidate; you are a professional who has placed their trust in us, and is changing their life on our recommendation.<\/p>\n \n\tLeaving aside that it\u2019s a matter of law, <\/span>we respect the privacy of our candidates<\/strong>, and treat your data with the respect and care we treat our own. It helps that we\u2019re based at the iconic Bletchley Park, home of the original codebreakers. Your data is safe with us.<\/p>\n \n\tWe work for you<\/span><\/strong>. As recruitment consultants, we serve a purpose for our candidates and employers. If we aren\u2019t fulfilling that purpose, we need to know – and we will always aim to improve and evolve to the needs of our most important people: you.<\/p>\n \n\tA successful interview isn\u2019t the end of the road.<\/span> We help candidates into new roles<\/strong>, which means we help with onboarding, feedback and professional development for as long as the help is needed. When you win that promotion, we want to be the first place you turn to take on your first members of staff. For those in senior roles already, we want to help you nail that role which works around your lifestyle.<\/p>\n \n\tTimes change<\/strong>. <\/span>Careers too. We recognise that your needs will develop and change, as will your priorities and the kind of role you want to pursue. Nobody\u2019s CV will fall out of date, and nobody will be approached with a role they\u2019d never want to take on.<\/p>\n \n\tMost recruiters will only survey the client at the end of a successful hire, but this doesn’t pick up on the candidate experience at all. Neither does it address the unsuccessful candidates that didn’t get the job – typically they receive quite a poor experience. Without an incentive to provide these candidates with a great experience, consultants will typically forget about them – no feedback, no support, and in some cases not even a callback. It\u2019s often these forgotten candidates who damage your brand the most: bad news spreads faster and wider than good, after all. And candidates talk.<\/p>\n \n\tWe ask <\/span>all our candidates to fill out a seven question survey, specifically addressing the promises we make in our candidate charter – but we know that having a completed survey isn\u2019t enough.That\u2019s why we use the candidate\u2019s Net Promoter Score (NPS) from their survey to set our consultants\u2019 commissions.<\/p>\n \n\tIf the candidate scores their identifi consultant an 8, 9 or 10, the consultant gets 100% commission. <\/p>\n \n\tA 6 or 7, indicating the candidate was indifferent about the service, means the consultant gets 75% of their commission. (This is the default for non-completed candidate surveys – we feel that a candidate not feeling motivated to respond means we\u2019ve failed to motivate them.) <\/p>\n \n\tA 5 or below means the consultant wasn\u2019t delivering the right experience, and results in 50% commission.<\/p>\n \n\tBy doing this, identifi drive a culture that offers an exceptional candidate experience –<\/span> we literally put our money where our mouth is<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \n\tNone of this is set in stone – not the charter, nor the means by which we guarantee it. <\/span>Identifi reviews its commitments every year<\/strong>, to ensure we are accurately, actively meeting the needs of our candidates. That\u2019s why we have a charter in the first place: to make sure we treat people as people, not things.<\/p>\n \n\tWe work for you. We help you find the right role. <\/span>Let\u2019s get started<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n \n\t <\/p>\n \n\tImage credit: Wikimedia Commons<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s easy to say you\u2019re client driven, who isn’t?
