Process:
Throughout the process, Adlestrop took the time to listen, which allowed them to gain a clear insight into the candidate’s needs and wants.
“Adlestrop listened, took note and understood far better than other consultants I have met where I wanted to get to and how this could be achieved. Their consultative approach provided honest advice and guidance rather than just being told what I wanted to hear or being put forward for positions that weren’t suitable.”
Adlestrop ensured that they kept in regular contact with the candidate, making sure to schedule conversations around a time that suited them. A number of suitable positions were discussed with the candidate, and no CV’s were sent off without the candidate’s consent…
“The level of contact and responses to emails and texts is excellent. Scheduling in calls to fit around work meetings and commitments rather than being bombarded at work. I was always open to hear what opportunities they had in the pipeline for me. They were never too pushy and always asked permission to discuss CV’s with directors and partners at firms.”
Through a number of meetings and interviews, the candidate was then offered a new role in a position that was best suited to them in order to further develop into the future. At the time of receiving the offer, Adlestrop were there to support the candidate in ensuring that they got the best out of their next role.
“Adlestrop were extremely helpful in asking my salary and bonus expectations. Taking the time to understand my current arrangements and how these could be improved. Negotiating with the employer to align the terms to my expectations and keeping me informed.”
Result:
As a result, the candidate is happy with their new role, feeling confident that this next step is best suited to their career ambitions.
“The opportunity has recognised my long term career ambitions and with the plans that the firm has in place, I’m eager to get started and be part of achieving the targets set. I feel satisfied in the support that Adlestrop provided. I would recommend Adlestrop and would also use then for recruiting potential team members in the future, due to their consultative professional manner and knowledge of the profession.”
