Permanent Recruitment
The successful placement of the right candidate is at the heart of Highpoint's bespoke permanent recruitment service. Selecting on skills alone sometimes isn't enough - a successful permanent placement is a long-term one.
Selecting a candidate on skills alone sometimes isn’t enough. A successful permanent placement is a long-term one. We take time to get to know our clients’ businesses, their aims and needs, their future plans, their style and culture – and ultimately, the kind of person that will fit in and become an asset to that organisation.
Our task is also a pragmatic one; to oversee the full administration of the permanent recruitment process. That includes:
-
Advertising and marketing the vacancy using the most appropriate media
​
-
Interviewing and selecting candidates
​
-
Assessing skills​
​
-
Checking references with at least two previous employers
​
-
Maintaining contact with all parties up to the date employment commences
That pragmatism extends to our clients’ recruitment planning. We also provide consultancy on:
-
Prevailing market trends and skill availability
​
-
Salary levels and company benefits
​
-
Prepare job descriptions and people specifications
​
-
Staff retention and succession planning
​
-
Open days and assessment centres
​
-
Media planning
​
-
Regular updates on the impact of new employment legislation
