Recruitment Services

Managed Services

Looking to recruit a large number of staff over a short period of time? Owing to the nature of your business, are you continually recruiting staff?

If the answer is yes to either of these questions, then you need to talk to Shadow UK about our Managed Service option.

We can provide a bespoke service to our Clients for the full recruitment process. This includes Search and Selection; 1st and 2nd round interviews; offer; placement and aftercare. Our extensive experience in managing recruitment projects such as this, removes the recruitment burden from you. Our transparent reporting system allows you to keep track of exactly what is happening at any given time.

Our Managed Service outsourcing option gives you the benefit of a large scale recruitment process, but at a fraction of the costs of the normal Contingent Search.

Retained Assignments

Retained Recruitment Assignments provide the most cost effective method of recruiting key personnel.

Shadow UK works exclusively and confidentially on your behalf to select a shortlist of suitable Candidates.

This service offers a complete recruitment consultancy service, comprising:

• On-site Client visit to conduct in-depth analysis of the position to be filled and to compile a Candidate profile including advice on the remuneration package.
• Database Search of our exclusive and extensive candidate pool of recruitment industry professionals.
• Design and development of an advertising campaign or media plan. This can include the use of relevant trade journals and the confidential advertising of the position on our website.
• Candidate response management.
• Pre-selection interviews against agreed competency profiles.
• Submission of a shortlist of Candidates CV’s together with interview notes.
• Interview co-ordination with confirmation details, candidate liaison and interview follow-up.
• Psychometric testing (optional at extra cost).
• Interview facilities at our offices.

Recruitment Assessment Centres

Think about how many times you have set aside an hour to interview someone, only for them not to show up.

Assessment Centres can take anything between 4-8 hours and allow organisations to group assess anything from 4 to 20 potential employees at any one time in any desired location across the UK. This is not only time saving when recruiting staff, but proof also demonstrates that it is the most time saving and cost effective means of recruiting staff.

Assessment Centres really allow employers to fully evaluate potential employees against required core competencies & skills, in a rea-time working simulation. Core competencies will be defined with the employer prior to the assessment.

This service gives employers the opportunity to select the “right” employee based on performance & results instead of a gut feeling. Assessment Centres provide a relaxed environment where employers can assess existing performance and predict future job performance by assessing candidates accurately against desired key skills & competencies.

Assessment Centres reflect the reality of the job and the organisation. New recruits have high expectations of their new job and disappointment can be a destructive influence in the workplace. Research has also shown that job seekers who attend Assessment Centres are impressed by the Client’s Company, even if they are rejected. Attendance at an Assessment Centre can help the Candidate to assess working for the organisation.

Hiring Managers and Job Seekers interact throughout the day long process and this gives many opportunities for both parties to explore those issues not normally covered during the traditional interview process.

By accurately assessing each potential employee in one session, for a one-off fee, this offers tremendous value for money if you are recruiting for multiple positions.

At the end of the Assessment Day you should see exactly who has stood out from the crowd and this makes your decision even easier.
