My Approach

Finding you candidates who stand out from the crowd


Finding a candidate to fill a vacancy isn’t difficult: finding the right candidate really can be. For a successful match you need to know what it is you really want, and need, and who best fits the bill. 

That’s where I come in. With years of experience specialising in search and selection, I can help you find the perfect fit - quickly, easily and seamlessly.

I save you time, I take out the hassle often associated with recruitment and I provide excellent value with a full, 360 service.

 

My Values

Curiosity | Honesty | Intelligence

 

“Amanda found me my perfect role! She understood exactly the kind of organisation and position that I was looking for, and managed my recruitment perfectly. AR offered professional and personal service throughout my transition. I would highly recommend Amanda.”

Head of Retail UK, Global Beauty Brand

 

Why I'm Different

I’ve never seen myself as a traditional recruiter, nor did I arrive at this place by following a traditional route. Which kind of sums up my life really. What I do see myself as is a ‘matchmaker’: someone who uses intelligence and curiosity to match the right job, company and culture with the right individual.

I’m different because I have an innate, sixth sense of chemistry. It’s no good having that perfect match on paper if the chemistry isn’t there when you meet. I ensure that shortlisted candidates exceed your expectations in terms of qualifications and experience and that they will slide seamlessly into your company’s culture and working environment. My exceptional retention rate is a testament to my determination to always find the best match possible.

And I’m always honest: if I can’t help you, I’ll tell you.

 

Solving your Problem

My job is to save you time and stress. Which is why for every new role, we start with you telling me everything about the vacancy and who you think you are looking for. I’ll ask you a lot of questions (and I really do listen to what you tell me) and together, we will refine the candidate specification. Often, you might find you’re looking for something different than you initially expected and that’s fine. We’ll make sure we’ve got it right - you can’t afford to waste time interviewing or hiring unsuitable candidates. My approach saves you time, money and stress.

When I meet candidates I go through the same in-depth questioning process to ensure that you receive a precisely curated shortlist of people who really want to work for your business, who can do the job and more importantly, will do it well within your business culture and working environment. Sometimes your shortlist will surprise you. But trust me, if I’ve thrown you a curve ball, it’s because that’s what the role you are looking to fill needs. When you meet them, you’ll see why. 

 
 
 
 

“I have worked on various roles with Amanda for the past 12 years. I have always found her to be conscientious, hard working and honest, no matter what roles I have given her. The time she takes to understand our requirements is reflected in the quality shortlist she provides. She has supplied some outstanding candidates, and I would not hesitate to recommend her.”

What’s in a title?
What’s in a title?

I was explaining to someone recently what I do for a living. Depending who I talk to, I sometimes use the word ‘Recruiter’ and at other times, ‘Headhunter’. Both terms it appears, carry quite different perceptions but on this occasion, I coined the phrase ‘ recruiting headhunter’. Maybe I needed to blur the preconception.

Care and Compassion
Care and Compassion

I’m not in the habit of slating the competition but when I hear time and time again about recruitment agencies who didn’t or don’t care, it makes me more determined to maintain my own business values of authenticity, integrity and yes, ‘care’.

Where Does My Involvement In The Recruitment Process End?
Where Does My Involvement In The Recruitment Process End?

I had a call yesterday from a candidate who landed his dream job through me before Christmas. He has been working hard and really enjoying the challenge. But he had a ‘wobble’ yesterday about an issue in the business and he called me for some advice.

Pricing

With honesty as one of my core values, I like to be transparent about my fees. I don’t change them for every job or every client; instead they are competitive and reflect the value of what I bring to the table in terms of saving you time and stress.

Once a brief is agreed, all new clients pay me an initial £500 upfront  which is deductible against the first successful placement. This means we are both committed to the process, you know that I’m going to do more than simply harvest CV’s and it ensures against any time wasting.
