Candidate services
Our candidates are a crucial part of our business; we can only support our clients effectively if the people we provide are the best fit for a role. As each position differs, candidates have their requirements, characteristics, and skill set. We can only be the best if we take the time and effort to get to know them thoroughly.
Our Candidate team diligently works to understand the candidates' skills, aspirations, and experience. We strive to ensure that we share roles that align with their requirements and culture fit. Before we send candidates' details to our client, we thoroughly discuss the position with the candidate. We want to emphasize that candidates are always in complete control of the process, ensuring their comfort and confidence. This empowerment is a testament to the value we place on each candidate's unique journey.
Candidates' initial contact will always be answered promptly and in person.
Candidates' registration will be dealt with quickly and efficiently.
Candidates will be invited to a mutually convenient 20-minute introduction telephone call.
Following the telephone call, a summary will be sent to all candidates, setting out their complete requirements.
Meeting our candidates in person is a crucial part of our process. It allows us to delve deeper into their soft skills and other intangible qualities that are often not fully captured on paper. This commitment to thoroughness is how we maintain our credibility with our clients and gain a deeper understanding of our candidates' essential skills and personalities. We believe in the power of personal connection, which is why we value in-person meetings highly.
Once a candidate's curriculum vitae has been submitted to our client, we will always prescribe honest and meaningful feedback, whatever the outcome. We understand that feedback is crucial for personal and professional growth, and we are committed to providing it in a respectful and supportive manner.
Candidate service is as important to us as client service. We believe in providing excellent service to all our stakeholders, and our candidates are looked after with the same level of care and attention we offer our clients.
This is the best recruitment agency I have ever come across. Karen and her team are unique in the sense that they really take the time to find out who you are and what you are looking for. Unlike other agencies who might push you to apply for jobs that aren’t for you, Karen really listened to what I wanted and was looking for. She found me a job opportunity that was perfect for me and supported me every step of the recruitment process. I was particularly impressed with the effort Karen made to meet me an hour before my interview, to calm my nerves and prep me as much as possible, and when I, fortunately, got the job, I was really touched with the beautiful bouquet of flowers I received on my first day of the job from Karen and the team. I would definitely recommend Karen Collier to all job searchers in the fashion industry, if you are looking for a personalized and friendly touch to what can often be a stressful recruitment process, get in touch with Karen, she’s the best!
