We run through a series of filters with the candidates to make sure that they are the best and the role is the best for them. Only when we have done this will we send the details to the client to get their feedback as we know that time is precious. We then arrange the interview stages and manage both sets of feedback and make sure everyone is on thge same page. If there are multiple interviews we will manage those also and the next stage of feedback and leading to offer or rejection. Then we will deal with everything involved in finalising contracts and getting a start date and making sure all the i’s are dotted. This is a process we work very hard on keeping simple for you but requires lots of work we are trained for.

From the top down we encourage a culture of ‘questioning everything, never leave a stone unturned’ & with our extensive training programme we foster a culture of excellence that delivers for our clients and candidates.
How we achieve the great results for both candidates and clients
Added Benefits: Our Recruitment offering has been developed to deliver a quality, tailored service to every client to combat the talent shortages within the Tech and Energy sectors. Our level of expertise is what makes us different. Our Recruitment experts have extensive knowledge in specific technical areas - and with a huge advertising spend plus an internal database of over 700,000 qualified professionals, we can deliver outstanding candidates to your organisation.
Contractor Care Team: The Contractor Care Team was created in order to improve the service given to our contractors and help with the on-boarding process. This is a benefit to everyone involved and helps the process be a lot smoother. The Contractor Care Team take over once the Recruiter has placed the contractor with a start date. The Consultant will notify the contractor of the placement and also then introduce the CCT and the process that will happen next. This stage starts with the actual contract of employment and all of the relevant details and required by both parties including all financial details. Our contractors are now able to receive more frequent and consistent care, as well as a single point of contact for anything they require throughout the duration of the contract. The Contractor Care Team help with any questions about potential extensions, invoices, timesheets and payment processes, along with any other questions they have. The CCT can be contacted on their own dedicated email CCT@oscar-recruit.com which is monitored by the whole team.
One of the most unique parts of Oscar is our quality driven School of Excellence programme that all members of our recruitment population attend. The SoE presents new trainees with a dedicated overview of recruitment based around core main aims; identifying, nurturing and rewarding home grown talent. As a result, over the past 12 months 17% of our consultants were promoted to senior status. The promotion structure is completely meritocratic to ensure that opportunities to progress are based on effort, attitude and ability, rather than limited by organisational structure. Our in house training manager – in place since 2012 – is a constant form of support for our Consultants on the shop floor. The SoE training revolves around a 14 step programme, which aims to develop a trainee’s skills in both resourcing and retaining candidates and clients. The training uses a mixture of theory and practical lessons, ensuring that trainees learn all of the necessary skills to succeed. In the last year, we have invested in an external training programme for Managers. This is beneficial for their career development, as well as the development of their team, and will give them an official accreditation within the industry.
