AFR Consulting The Financial Recruitment Specialists
Best Practice

Over the years we have dealt with hundreds of companies looking to recruit and our experiences have taught us many things. Recruiting the right person for your business is a difficult and volatile exercise so we have created a guideline to help you help us find the right match.

Firstly ensure that you have the go-ahead to recruit and have examined all possible internal candidates before engaging our services. This will avoid issues with red tape later in the process that can damage your credibility and a candidate’s commitment.

Provide us with a detailed job description, as most candidates will ask us for one and it will present a professional image of you company. This will help people prepare for interview and also help us generate more interest when briefing possible / target candidates.

Talk to us about timescales, when you are available for interview and when you need the position filled by. Candidates will need a few days notice to make themselves available and if they know when to expect feedback this will help us maintain their interest. A structured process is always more easy to work with. The longer a candidate waits for an update the colder they get.

We will agree fees with you upfront to ensure both parties know what terms they are dealing with. This will avoid the unnecessary complication of seeing a candidate that is suitable and then not being happy with our fee.

And remember, the best candidates will have more than one opportunity to choose from, therefore to ensure that yours is their favoured role make sure the process runs as smooth as possible.

Testimonials

AFR made the recruitment process simple and easy, giving appropriate CV's and listening to the feedback. The communication with both me and the candidate was excellent. I will look forward to working with AFR again in the future.
