| How We Work
|
| With honesty and integrity
as the cornerstones in everything we do, we guarantee you will benefit from
our commitment to deliver a matchless service. We've listened to our clients
and know what's important to them as set out in our Promise To You.
|
| What We Do |
In a nutshell we'll deliver an efficient
service that's competitively priced. We'll actively listen to fully understand
and meet your business needs - and won't promise what we can't deliver.
We'll provide a simple fee structure and before we present a candidate, you can be confident we've already interviewed them face-to-face, skill tested as appropriate and assessed whether their skills and talents meet your needs.
|
| Why
We're Different |
We work as a team carefully
listening and developing a partnership approach with our clients. For example
we like to take the time to visit your offices to gain a 360° appreciation
of your business. We want to understand the culture and the team fit so we can ensure a "best fit" approach.
We also know that one point of contact is important. That's why our Consultants really get to know your individual recruitment needs so you can be assured of consistency in the level of service you receive - whether it's for a temporary or permanent placement.
You'll also benefit from not just our extensive local knowledge of the market but also the sheer determination of our qualified Consultants to deliver to the highest standards.
We realise that recruiting the right people is only half of the story. We're totally focussed on our strong desire to meet and exceed expectations in everything we do, that's why we offer a range of services to complement our core recruitment service from assisting with salary surveys to Executive Search and Selection..

| What
Happens Next? |
We truly believe that it's important to visit your offices and meet with you (and others who may be involved in the recruitment process). We need to gain a clear understanding of who and what you're looking for. We know from experience how important this is.
We want to ensure you have the "pick of the crop" of talented people looking for a new opportunity. We take great care to select only those people who closely meet your specific requirements. This means that we interview people face-to-face, assess their skills as well as ensuring their values, career aspirations and key motivators are in line with not only the role but also the culture of your organisation.
When we're confident we have a shortlist of the best people for the job,
we'll send you their CVs together with a candidate profile and
the results of any skill tests relevant to the role. You can be certain we'll only
present those people who we feel are an absolute match.
Throughout the recruitment process we'll liaise with both you and the candidates to ensure they have
a full understanding of the company and the position for which they are being
presented. We will provide feedback after the interview and act as an intermediary
when an offer is to be made.
We will always endeavour to reference check
candidates undertaking a temporary assignment, if you require, we will also
do this for a permanent placement. Of course, any aspect of our service
can be tailored to suit your specific need. |
| How
much will this cost? |
We're very competitive!
Our charges for temporary assignments include statutory payments such as
NI and holiday pay and we know from client feedback that we're not expensive. For permanent placements we only charge on success. Our fees are between 15% and 20% based on the basic salary.
We know that it's not an ideal world and that's why we give you the peace of mind that comes with our refund
policy of up to 100% in the unlikely event that things don't work out.
and finally ...
and probably most importantly, you will benefit from
our most unique point of difference - our passion and total commitment to
deliver the highest standards of excellence - in everything we do.
All things considered, we think you'll find us refreshingly
different!

Plum Personnel has always received positive feedback from our managers. The feedback has always been around Efficient Customer Service and Effectively Delivering Promises.

It's great to always hear positive feedback.
Pooja,Recruitment Officer, Financial Services
I would just like to extend my thanks to Plum and indeed specifically to Laura for the excellent service provided. When we have had a crucial business need to recruit high quality temps Plum has provided a brilliant service and gone way beyond my expectations.
Ursula, Senior Project Manager, Outsourcing Services
The Consultants at Plum take time to understand the individual roles and how they fit in. The information provided on candidates is pertinent and concise and they've already been met before details are forwarded to me. Keep up the good service!
Dave, Manager, Electrical Wholesalers
We have used Plum Personnel to recruit for a wide range of vacancies over the last few years and have always been happy with the service provided by Plum. When we had a senior management role to fill I gave them the assignment. We were delighted with the quality of candidates and made what has turned out to be an excellent appointment.
Helen, Head of HR, Housing Association
We have worked with Plum for a number of years for vacancies at all levels with varied skill sets. Plum successfully recruited our Finance Director who was an excellent fit for the company, so well placed, that he has since been promoted to UK CEO! I was very pleased with the level of service I received from Plum and have no hesitation in recommending them for all positions, including the most senior roles.
Amanda, HR Director, Telecommunications Company
The staff at Plum have found a winning combination - perhaps it is the personal touch or just their consistency with being thorough is what makes them deliver time and time again.
Jennie, International Facilities Management

Sue, Manager, Fleet Car Leasing
