Consultation – pre-recruitment strategy and planning
At Eligo we understand how valuable it is to have the best people working for you, and how costly the wrong people can be. With so much at stake we always spend time with our clients to plan and structure a recruitment strategy that is efficient and cost effective. We won’t waste your time wading through inappropriate CVs, interviewing too many candidates or having positions vacant for long periods.
Advice on salaries & benefit packages, market trends and activity
Before commencing recruitment it is highly advisable to conduct full research into current salary and benefit packages within the industry and to carefully consider what will attract the right people to you. Take a look at our Salary Survey for a guide.
Candidate Generation – advertising and marketing
Eligo has an enviable reputation in the industry with a strong brand image, which attracts a large number of quality candidates. Many contact us direct, the result of a longstanding relationship we have with them through our website. 35% of our candidates are now generated by referrals from clients and candidate partnerships we have forged over the past 7 years. Our internal database is particularly rich, which allows us to speedily and effectively communicate with a large number of specialist event professionals.
We also ensure we have a strong market presence via advertising and marketing channels such as:
- Events trade press
- Online recruitment specialist websites
- Exhibiting at International Confex
- Exhibiting at ‘Association for Conferences and Events (ACE) Career Fair’
CV and Candidate screening
We receive thousands of CVs and our first task is to carefully select those with specialist skills and experience, but the CV is just the tip of the iceberg for us. All candidates have to go through our telephone and face-to-face interview screening. With the busy pace of life it can be difficult for us to speak to and meet candidates, but this is an essential part of our service. Sometimes this means it can take a little longer to get candidates onto our books, but our clients feel more confident knowing all our candidates have been fully screened. We feel it is our responsibility to not only delve deep into people’s skills and experience but also their goals, ambitions, personality and work culture preferences. This is vital for a successful placement.
Candidate Qualification and Interviewing
All candidates are interviewed face to face by an Eligo consultant. While we have our own high standards regarding candidate performance, we are also happy to tailor our interview process to your needs, questioning and qualifying specific areas relevant to your company and vacancy.
At Eligo we aim to save you time and money by providing a full consultancy service so the CV you read and the interviews you hold are worthwhile and fruitful.
