NETWORKING & Memberships Monthly Network Events

Annual Network Events

Sponsorship

As an agency we believe it is extremely important to regularly engage with our clients and candidates to provide a more effective and professional service.

These events are beneficial for both clients and candidates. These events are generally hosted the last Thursday of each month. Contact our team for more information.

If you would like to attend, please contact Katherine (Katherine@ corecruitment.com) for more information.

Our team feels it is extremely important to attend as many industry specific events as possible.

This is so we can ensure we are up to date with all industry news and developments. Therefore, any FM event hosted- you will see someone from our team there!

COREcruitment is also very active in sponsoring upcoming events within the industry. This includes industry networking drinks, award dinners and fun social events.

COREcruitment is also one of the main sponsors of the Building Futures Group Boat Party.

Charity Give Backs COREcruitment has strong values towards helping charities where we can. As a team we have a couple of charities that are close to us and therefore we have decided to support as much as possible.

However, we also donate to other charities when and where we can.

Our main charities we support are Springbaord, Foodchain, MacMillan and Beyond Autism.

Some previous fundraising events include: • Ten members of our team abseiled off one of London’s tallest buildings for Springboard • Three members of the team did a skydive from 10,000ft for Foodchain • One member did a Nepal trek for Springboard • Our MD did a ten day trek along

Recruitment PROCESS It is important to emphasise that the first part of our process is to ensure we have authorisation to recruit for the position.

The team at COREcruitment prides itself on keeping in regular contact with all candidates.

This means when a job comes in, no matter how precise the specifications, our consultants already know what candidates would be suitable. These candidates also tend to know good candidates; in fact 40% of our placed candidates come from referrals. Our first port of call is our database which has over 220,000 candidates. We will also advertise the role on over 25 different sites as well as post it all over our social media sites.

The next stage of our process is by initially screening a candidate by conducting a non-vacancy specific telephone conversation. This is because the candidates we register are matched on what they want to do – rather than what they apply for – this way we can find a much better longterm fit.

Upon identifying the candidate’s suitability we then conduct a second telephone interview which is more specific to the job at hand. During this interview not only do we present our client in the best possible light but we feel it is important to properly brief the candidates on the vacancy and company.

It is important that we match this with the reality of the job role and the problems that candidate might face.

After the candidate has completed all three interviews, we send their CV across to our client along with a detailed profile and breakdown about the candidate. If our client wants to interview the candidate, we will organise everything necessary to make it happen.

We also offer our meeting room at our offices in London for clients who need the space or who are coming in from out of town.

If we find suitable candidates beyond this stage we then ask them to come into the office for a face to face interview. This process may seem exhaustive however; we believe this is necessary to get a complete feel of not only the candidate’s experience but their personality and work attitude.

COREcruitment has a well-structured process for sourcing your ideal candidate. We aim not to find ‘A’ candidate to fill a position but ‘The’ right ‘person’ for your organisations culture and service ethic. COREcruitment promises to uphold the integrity and values of our clients, acting as true representatives of the organisations we represent in the marketplace.

Internet

Open Days

We use a variety of websites for advertising and CV databases - depending on location and specialism: Total jobs, manager. co.uk, Careersbank.com, Caterer, The ladders, CV-Library, Monster, Simply sales jobs, Sales target, Career structure, FM Management, FM World, Gumtree, Jobs on line, My facilities management jobs, Reed, Supply Management. International job boards: Asiacaterer.com, pnet.co.za, corecruitment.co.za, Recruitgulf, lodgestaff.com, craigslist.com, mygulliver.com, hospitalityoffers.com, HCareers, Mayomann, Caterer Global.

Another one of our popular methods of attracting candidates is organising an open day. Essentially open days are an opportunity for potential members of staff to visit your business at one of your locations, interact with your members of staff to further our understanding of your business.

We also have the ability to use our in house system of psychometric testing. We have found this especially useful as part of the recruitment process to double check that a candidate has the appropriate ability levels to be successful in a role.

Candidate Attraction

Our network Each consultant at COREcruitment has a niche area that they work in, and within this niche area they are part of many different network groups. Consultants use these network groups to their advantage.

As we’ve mentioned, referrals are a big part of our candidate attraction and good people know good people.

Consultants make a conscious effort to attend any relevant networking events, so when we say they know the industry inside outthey really do!

Psychometrics

Referrals

Working within these niche areas also means consultants are constantly working on similar roles.

Therefore, consultants know as soon as they receive a vacancy who is available, who would be suitable and who may have a referral.

Some of our top candidates are known as ‘passive candidates’ which means they are not actively looking but we always keep an eye out for them and contact them if any suitable roles come up.

We have a target at COREcruitment that 40% of our placed candidates will come via referrals and recommendations – good people tend to know good people. We actively incentivise candidates to put us in touch with their friends / colleagues and contacts to find a higher number of ‘passive job seekers’.

In 2013 COREcruitment was the fastest growing UK recruitment agency on LinkedIn Social Media More recently our focus has been on using social media to attract candidates. We see this as being a key area of growth for us as a business and 12 months ago we appointed an in-house web development and SEO specialist to manage our social networks and on-line presence.

It is important to embrace social networks as part of any business’s recruitment strategy.

COREcruitment has adopted a 2-tier strategy: with more recruitment

orientated we are more geared towards actively networking with potential candidates; on networks that are more social by nature we position ourselves more from an employer branding perspective giving updates to candidates on building their ‘social work profile’ or with updates and notifications of industry news through our Twitter and RSS feeds.
