Retained Assignments

Today's market is driven by a painful lack of Candidates that are actively looking so this requires a different recruitment approach to identify them for your roles. For these assignments we have to adopt specialised HEAD HUNT Techniques to convert passive candidates into active ones.

For these challenging assignments Probe has experience of working with Retained Assignments within all our sectors and with the ever-increasing skill shortages, we have noticed the change in pattern for these exercises that were once only employed for the "executive" positions, are now being employed by clients to resource across their entire business.

The Marketplace is becoming more specialised and when confidentiality is key to your requirements, we can offer you the service of "Total Anonymity". With our advice and direction, we can provide the facility of fronting your advertising campaign by selecting the right publications and arranging artwork through to providing you with a shortlist of suitable candidates, without your competition or current employees ever knowing you're recruiting !

The main elements of this service are the Preparation of a Recruitment Brief to include Company History, Departmental Structure, Job Specification, Terms and Conditions of Employment. These details would normally be obtained during a personal visit to our client's premises. Advertising advice and copy-writing can be carried out by Probe including liaison with Press and Magazine Publications. We will then take all responses to the advertisement, carry out initial screening of candidates and forwarding suitable candidate details to the client with relevant interview notes and comments.
