McCarthyHR believes in providing a total recruitment solution, building partnership relationships through a consultative and specialized approach. Utilising a combination of excellent recruitment services, we can tailor a recruitment package designed to meet your needs exactly. These include:

Sourcing Candidates.

Advertised Assignment
We can provide standard off-line advertising support when requested. Blind or branded, it can be designed either through your own advertising agency, or by utilising our experienced advertising agency, who will work with us to create a unique, striking and customised campaign. We can then manage all candidate responses, develop a bespoke and tailored telephone screen and short list candidates for you to interview.

Search and Selection
We operate Search for all levels of management recruitment, offering a thorough, discreet and professional search service, which selects candidates who have the necessary skills, background, knowledge and culture fit, based on the job specification provided.

Through comprehensive research and market knowledge, Search targets candidates regardless of whether they are actively looking or not. Our experience, knowledge and expertise in contacting and gaining committed candidates through Search methods ensures that no vacancy is left unfilled. You will also be provided with market intelligence and salary benchmarking, whilst we carry out the search...giving you an added benefit. This service is confidential and pro-active - we act as knowledgeable brand ambassadors to suitable candidates and generate a real interest in your organisation, and an opportunity on your behalf.

Retained Executive Search
Retained Executive Search assignments are our preferred recruitment methods for senior appointments as it provides us with a firm mandate to search the market place, with your express permission.

Executive Search involves us identifying and approaching the very best talent available in your market and presenting them to you, following detailed assessment and screening. Our first task is to identify relevant organisations and individual personnel within them in order to create a comprehensive list of potential candidates.

Following our research, we will create a shortlist of no more than 3 candidates per vacancy, who are both suitable and interested - this  this is achieved through our skilled networking and direct approach, using absolute discretion and diplomacy at all times.

Candidate Assessment.

Pre-Selection Screening
Our recruitment consultants are trained to provide all candidates with an initial in-depth screen to really understand their career aspirations, key skills and motivations for changing jobs. We also establish the candidates’ technical skills and experience, along with assessing their softer skills and personality, taking into account our understanding of your needs from the job specification. Our experience has shown that taking the time with candidates at the start of the process ensures we only represent candidates to you with a genuine interest in your opportunity.

Short Listing
Depending on our agreed recruitment process, we will create a bespoke interview and assessment for your brand to select candidates to be presented for interview. Our flexible approach ensures that candidates are selected according to your key criteria and competencies. All candidates who, after pre-selection screening we believe to be suitable for your vacancy, will be selected to go through this further selection process before being represented to you for final interview.

Throughout the recruitment process we manage the candidates’ feedback and ensure that all administration is processed for you. We add value to each candidate’s experience, providing them with the interview support and detailed advice, which maximises your brand integrity. We professionally represent your organisation at every stage of the recruitment process.
