My Approach to Recruitment

Do you get fed up of constant sales calls or having your inbox clogged up with ‘speculative’ CVs? Do you also dread a meeting with a recruitment consultant who has the sole purpose of ‘pitching’ to you for the sake of it?

At Transparent, Samantha Harris takes a very different approach. We all have to make our target market aware of our businesses, however, there’s a subtle difference in my approach. I have strong enough relationships with my clients which ensures that they pick up the phone to me when they need me. If and when you find yourself in a situation whereby you would like to try the Transparent service, I will:

  1. Visit you on site to get a ‘feel’ for your business. During this meeting, I will LISTEN to your requirements in as much detail as you wish to provide. I will give you an overview of my business and we will conclude the meeting with agreed rates in place so that everyone is clear before committing to the process.
  2. I will then provide you with a short-list of candidates who match your requirements very closely – it may be that you will only receive 3 or 4 CVs from me; I believe in quality over quantity.
  3. All candidates will be made fully aware of the role and an outline of your business before being put forward. If you say that your maximum budget on salary is £X, that’s exactly what I will tell my candidates. No hidden surprises!
  4. You will receive their original CVs together with Transparent’s cover sheet – I do not ‘doctor’ CVs; I like to convey candidates’ individuality as much as possible.
  5. If your requirements change through the process (as can happen) I will adapt to these and move forward with a new short-list for you.
  6. I will keep you regularly updated throughout the process
  7. I offer advice on current market activity as well as salary guides.
  8. Lastly, I enjoy what I do! If you enjoy something, you do it well.
