Graduate Opportunity with Shaylor Thompson

1. What do we do? We provide recruitment consultancy services to companies in the IT and Telco industries, our blue chip clients include the likes of IBM and Nokia. We have been doing this for 30 years and have a great reputation.

2. Why do companies like IBM and Nokia require our services? We are specialist headhunters. We specifically find people for our clients whose skills are rare and are in high demand. Our specialist areas are sales, management and high level technical roles. These people often command salaries in excess of £100,000. These people, or candidates as we refer to them, are not especially looking to change jobs and, when they are thinking about a move they don’t have the time to look for a job themselves. They realise that sending a CV to the HR department of a global organisation is not the most targeted way of securing their ideal job. That’s where we come in, we save our clients valuable time by quickly finding them exactly the people they want and who would not usually be available to them via advertising

3. There are a lot of recruitment companies, why are we different? A consultative and long term approach. As we are a providing a service rather than selling a product, reputation and conducting ourselves with integrity is very important. Some of our client relationships are 20 years old. It takes a long time to build that level of trust with a bluechip organisation. We do not advertise on job boards, we headhunt. This is just one of the ways we add value High quality, low volume approach – For every 2 CVs we send to a client, at least one or usually both is interviewed. Our hit ratio is one of the best in the industry which can be verified by some of our client testimonials. Specialist Market Knowledge - Our highly experienced consultants and dedicated research teams take the time to understand our client’s market, culture, business demands and processes. This ensures that we only target the right individuals Global reach – Over one third of our business is outside of the UK. Our approach is just as successful across EMEA, US and AsiaPac
