Clients
Leighton Taylor is intent on developing and building long term relationships with clients in order to establish the most effective way to find appropriate candidates. We ask our clients at the start of the recruitment process for as much detail as possible about their requirements and if agreeable, a face- to-face meeting to gain a feel for the culture of the firm. If we can learn as much as possible about the specifics behind the job specification, then we are confident that we can match candidates to the job brief.
Our flexibility and adaptable approach mean that we are not constrained by common recruitment agency structures and can thus tailor our recruitment processes accordingly to each individual campaign.
Database Search
Operating on a NO placement, NO fee basis, a call to Leighton Taylor can mean access to a number of CVs that you have not already seen. This may either be the starting point of your campaign or you may have been trying to recruit for some time and require fresh impetus.
All candidates have been thoroughly interviewed and screened and only after their express permission has been established will a CV be forwarded to a client.
Website Advertising
As well as a high profile position on the Leighton Taylor website, roles will be advertised anonymously and at very short notice on all the leading industry job boards. This service is absolutely free and means that you will not spend your advertising budget on these sites. You will then only receive CVs of those candidates that are appropriate for your roles, meaning lots of time and money saved.
Media Advertising
If it is felt necessary to advertise a specific vacancy in a sector publication an advertisement will be designed, drafted and agreed to a client's approval. Leighton Taylor has over 12 years experience in writing copy specifically for professional services vacancies and has a strong track record in attracting outstanding individuals through this process.
Once a recruitment advertisement has been published you will be kept fully updated on the response and after a detailed interviewing process, a shortlist of applicants will be produced to an agreed timescale. Leighton Taylor will manage the process through to a successful appointment.
Search and Selection
This is particularly effective for Head of/Director level positions or roles where a distinct skill set is required. Having established a brief with a client we can identify a number of leading individuals both within and outside of the sector through a detailed research program. Potential candidates will then be contacted and assessed for their suitability. Once completed, Leighton Taylor will send a shortlist of CVs to the client and then manage the interview process through to offers and placements.
Regional Assignments
Leighton Taylor has a strong track record in recruiting for regional professional services firms. So if you are looking for your first marketing/business development specialist or want to expand an existing team, we will find you individuals that suit your partnership's culture.
Interim/Maternity Cover Vacancies
Interim and maternity cover roles can be very difficult as the period to recruit, can be limited. With a position to fill, an interim is often required at very short notice. A number of candidates at all levels register with Leighton Taylor looking for just this type of role either for short or long-term assignments. They will generally have strong qualifications and previous professional services experience enabling them to come into your firm and hit the
ground running from Day 1.
How else can we help?
As much as Leighton Taylor realises that our fundamental role is to fill vacancies, we offer so much more. We can provide detailed sector specific information, gathered over the past decade to advise our clients on anything from salary scales; including base salaries and bonus structures, through to advice on job specifications, current trends in the market and the availability of a desired skill set for your team.
