Recruitment Solutions for Employers

Recruitment Solutions for Employers

Time is precious, especially when you’re searching for the best candidates to support and grow your business.

At Simpson Dean Recruitment, we understand the need to balance staff hiring efficiency with finding you the right high-quality people for your company, and we pride ourselves on our track record of delivering the best results for our clients.

Whether you’re searching for an experienced chartered accountant, or looking for warehouse recruitment, our team has experience in a wide range of sectors and industries to help you find the right employees.

We’re also a recruitment and labour agency that cares about social responsibility and providing a quality service to candidates. When you work with us, you can rest easy knowing that you’re working with a partner whose passion for helping the right people succeed in the right roles will bring that same energy to your next hire too – attracting more highly engaged candidates to deliver your business’ future plans with enthusiasm.

 

We are a manufacturing facility based near Ashford, Kent which has been trading for 18 years. Until 2021 we had always dealt with recruitment in house and had been fortunate to find candidates who are now long serving members of staff.

Recruitment in 2021 proved to be more difficult and following some unsuccessful placements we made the decision to try a recruitment agency.

Simpson Dean visited the site to get an understanding about our business and employment requirements. They were not only helpful in explaining the current market but offered the unique service of interviewing potential candidates before submitting their details to us. Along with their C.V. a short explanation is sent about each candidate. This is extremely helpful in deciding which candidates to interview. Simpson Dean carried out registration and background checks before arranging the face to face interviews.

Our success rate for finding suitable employees has improved dramatically. We now use Simpson Dean as our recruitment agency of choice for Permanent staff and will approach them for Temporary staff should the need arise.

Virtual Interview Services

We can provide the opportunity of having an experienced recruitment partner run the first stage of your interview process, and free up your time to concentrate on the things that matter to you the most.

As part of our services, we can pre-screen your candidates for you with our virtual interview services, and give you that time back from your work day that you’d otherwise spend sourcing candidates, arranging interviews, and filling out feedback forms.

How it works

We record a video with each of your candidates, and then send you a folder with the videos and CV’s together, direct to your inbox for you to review your options at the time that works best for you and your business.

You have the option of either a profile video, or a full zoom interview, to make sure you get everything you need to make the right choice:

Candidate profile videos

These short introductions are filmed for every potential candidate, to let you get a feel for who they are and their values before you choose who to take forward to a full interview.

Full Zoom interviews with your questions

Perhaps you need more than a quick candidate profile, or there are specific questions you’d like us to ask all your potential candidates to pre-interview them on your behalf. Send us your initial interview questions (and get our advice on great questions for us, or you, to ask your candidates!) and let us do the work of arranging and recording every great candidate so that you can review them in your own time before choosing your top responders to interview personally.
