All candidates will have been fully briefed about vacancies before their details are sent. We would also prefer to meet client companies first, in order both to discuss the position and so that we can understand the environment as well as the vacancy.
Our service includes manual file searching (we do not use a recruitment database to merely generate a list of names and CV's based on key words).
