The right recruitment support for your organisation

Recruitment is not simply about matching a job description with a CV. We want to understand the role, the working environment, the people involved and what success will look like.

We look beyond the obvious candidate. Experience and qualifications matter, but so do potential, transferable skills, attitude and the way someone works. Some people are qualified through experience rather than a particular piece of paper. The right hire may not look exactly like the person you first had in mind.

AI can help people present their experience and can help employers manage parts of a recruitment process, but it does not replace a proper conversation. We speak with candidates, probe their examples and look for the thinking, judgement and human qualities behind the application.

Permanent recruitment

A permanent appointment is an important investment. We help you think through what the business needs now and going forward, then identify and speak with people who could make a positive contribution to the role, team and organisation.

Temporary recruitment

Temporary staff can give you flexibility during busy periods, absence, seasonal demand, projects and change. Our experienced team manages the recruitment and ongoing support of temporary workers, helping you find dependable people who can quickly become part of your organisation.

Contract and fixed-term recruitment

When you need specialist expertise, additional capacity or support for a defined period, we can recruit for contract and fixed-term appointments. We will help you consider the outcomes required, the skills and experience needed and the most suitable structure for the assignment.

Volume recruitment

When you need to recruit a number of people within a limited timeframe, an organised and experienced recruitment team makes a real difference.

Jobshop has considerable experience of volume recruitment. We can support attraction, candidate communication, screening, interviewing, skills testing and compliance while keeping the experience personal for every candidate. Our team understands how to maintain momentum, manage the detail and keep you informed throughout the campaign.

How we find and assess candidates

Some of the strongest candidates are not actively applying for jobs. They may already be known to us, part of our established networks or open to a confidential conversation about the right opportunity.

We combine candidate relationships with targeted advertising, job boards, professional networks and direct searches. We interview candidates before introducing them and explore their experience, motivation, expectations and suitability. Where appropriate, we can also provide skills testing.
