why elite?

Our personalised service is what makes us stand out in the recruitment industry. Whether you’re looking to fill a trainee position or a high-level executive position, we can help you find the perfect candidate for your business. We’re members of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) and adhere to the high standards that are required to become accredited by this professional body.

face-to-face visits with clients

We visit each of our clients and speak to them face to face, so that we can discuss exactly what they are looking for; the role, the hours, the responsibilities and the benefits. Our Recruitment Consultants get a feel for the culture and working environment that they’re offering to their prospective employees, ensuring we can match the right person to the role. An experienced, professional Recruitment Consultant will then create a detailed brief and write a job specification covering the skills and competencies required for the role.

access to a large talent pool

Vacancies are advertised on our website, as well as a number of other job boards including local job centres. We have over 1000 applicants in our database that have already been interviewed in person. So, if you’re looking for a candidate in a hurry, we can often find somebody in our existing database who meets your criteria. Our friendly and approachable team will review CVs and then contact each applicant and speak to them on the phone for a pre-screening interview. We also check that all job applicants have the right to work in the UK and carry out the appropriate identity checks.

skills-based testing

The next stage of the recruitment process involves a face-to-face interview conducted by our recruitment experts. At this point, we can also conduct skills-based aptitude tests or psychometric testing if required. Our professional staff will talk you through the types of testing that we offer, and the benefits of each type.

candidate feedback

When we’re satisfied that we’ve found a selection of talented individuals who are suitable for the role, we’ll put them forward to your team for a further interview. We provide feedback to unsuccessful candidates and determine whether they want to have their details kept on file for future opportunities.

post-employment support

Once you have decided on a candidate and offered them the position, we continue to provide support and advice for both candidate and employer. We always follow up with both parties after a few weeks in the role, to make sure both the client and employee are happy with their new placement.
