- 7. We don’t treat people like commodities. We represent them Our reputation is built on a deep understanding of the markets we operate in - the people and businesses that shape them. We believe career success is defined not only by an individual’s ability, but also by the opportunity to apply it in driving business performance. We don’t pay lip service to consultancy and we don’t trade in short term, tactical manoeuvring. Instead, we recognise that genuine consultancy must be underpinned by a longer term, strategic view. We create opportunities by bringing together people and businesses only when their goals, aspirations and personalities match. Untitled-4 7 30/01/12 11:15 AM

- 9. Sometimes we say ‘No’ (or at least ‘Not yet’) We are not afraid to offer the right advice, even if it is not always what our clients want to hear. If we think a recruitment brief is unrealistic, we don’t waste clients’ time pretending to work on it. We tell them, but we don’t just walk away. We will work with them to shape a brief that is achievable, based on the needs of the business and the skills and experience available in the market. Our candidates can expect the same honesty. If we don’t think a candidate is ready to make their desired career move, we won’t risk their future. We tell them they are not ready, and offer advice on the experience, skills and qualifications they will need to make any future career move a success. Untitled-4 9 30/01/12 11:15 AM

- 11. We’re predictable We work hard to reward and retain the best recruitment consultants in the business. As a result, our clients get to work with dedicated consultants: People who know their business inside out and understand their changing recruitment needs. They will do more than find you the perfect candidate. Training and business consultancy are all part of the package, if you want them. Candidates get a better service too. They aren’t passed from consultant to consultant as the faces change. Instead, each gets a single contact: A Candidate Manager working closely with them to genuinely represent their interests.
