An employment agency’s relationship with his candidate

As a recruitment agency and employment business we are responsible for attracting candidates to our client and their job role; we are also responsible for matching the candidates we attract to the right company and the right positions.

Through building strong and open relationships with our clients and candidates we gain a better understanding of the recruitment needs and employment preferences for both parties.

We work closely with our candidates to fully understand the skills and experiences they have as well as the job they are looking for, but we also take the time to understand the sort of person they are, their characteristics and personality traits so we can match the person to the business and not just the skills to the job.

Here at aspire cambridge we class ourselves as one of the most pro-active recruitment agencies and recruitment businesses in Cambridgeshire because we ensure that we treat our clients and candidates extremely well – we always aim for that ‘match made in heaven’ for our placements based on skills and experience as well as personality. A person and a company need to fit for the placement to be successful and enjoyable for both the client and the candidate.

We have seen research that states a candidates biggest frustration when working with a recruitment agency is the lack of feedback; our recruitment consultants here at aspire cambridge ensure that we give feedback wherever possible from the application form right through to the interview; whether the candidate is successful or not. Our recruitment consultants have all been through the recruitment process themselves so they know how important feedback is to a candidate.

We work hard to always provide our candidates with the best possible candidate journey; ensuring that we treat our candidates as we would like to be treated ourselves. We don’t treat our candidates as our next pay check, instead we treat them as our friends and our clients, making sure they get the right job for them as we know this is what makes a successful placement and gains us trust and respect from both the candidate and the client. If the candidate is not happy in the role the client won’t be happy either, so we will never try and force the two together.
