HOW WE WORK WITH OUR CLIENTS

Number Fifteen Recruitment has an unashamed focus on quality, commitment and longevity of relationship with our clients.

We know that one size does not fit all, so are open-minded and adapt our service to suit you, offering both contingent and retained assignments.

• Contingent assignments are appointments to recruit which are ad hoc and non-committal.

• Retained assignments are a mutual agreement where all parties are fully committed to the search. It is critical to delivering quality appointments and ensures we can commit the necessary time to undertake a robust search process. We find this approach can be more rewarding and thorough than what the typically transactional contingent model can offer. It affords us the time and connectiveness to build real and deeper relationships with our clients. 

Our approach affords our clients two major benefits: greater capacity for candidate care and client attention. 

We ensure a constructive application process and positive experience for our candidates; we keep them well informed, give valuable feedback and offer support and care if they are not successful. 

Our client retainer enables us to devote our time and functional expertise to your roles. We focus on getting it right rather than getting it done quickly – though, often we do both. Typically, our clients don't pay any more for what is a far more extensive process; the fee is simply structured in a different way, asking you to commit funds in advance rather than on success.

The retained model also lends itself to a more in-depth candidate engagement and affords us the time to conduct a thorough and forensic search. Rather than a sweeping pull of potential candidates from a database or search engine, we mine out the appropriate candidates specifically tailored towards the roles. Often we are persuading people who aren’t in the market for a new job that they should consider a career move. With greater access to diverse candidates, we are proactively reaching out to untapped talent that wouldn’t normally be approached through passive processes.
