CONTINGENCY RECRUITMENT SERVICE

Pentasia operate as both recruitment and retained search & selection consultants to companies of all sizes from start-ups to listed PLC’s. Our ethos is to be consultative in approach by offering advice and guidance from the formulation of job descriptions to the most effective resourcing strategies. We believe that meeting clients and candidates in person is essential to building long term, mutually beneficial partnerships.

Contingency is a recruitment service where Pentasia invest time and resources to identify and qualify a short-list of the most suitable candidates from a database of pre-registered applicants. All candidates are fully qualified and briefed against the clients’ specific vacancy criteria in terms of skills, depth of experience, location, availability, salary, character etc. Our fee only becomes applicable once the candidate has started in the client’s employment

Pentasia also utilises an extensive network of advertising media, including branded print in trade press and direct on-line marketing on a daily basis. Combined with our ‘state of the art’ website this presence enables us to attract and target candidates with specific niche skills on a truly international basis.

In Summary

1. When entering a business relationship with an organisation Pentasia look to gain a thorough understanding of the company, the vacancy specification, timescales, and selection process. This is ideally conducted at a site meeting with the client.
2. All potential candidates will be contacted and their suitability assessed prior to submission. In the majority of cases this will be by ‘face to face’ interview, although time constraints and distance may, on occasion, necessitate an interview by telephone. No CV’s will be forwarded without the express permission of the applicant. All candidates submitted will have shown a keen interest in your opportunity.
3. All submitted candidates will be continually updated on the status of their application.
4. All interviews will be arranged and confirmed with the candidates. Unsuccessful candidates will be advised and whenever possible, told the reason for their rejection.
5. Prior to interview candidates will receive a final company and vacancy briefing.
6. Following an interview, all candidates are fully debriefed to assess their interest in the position, and then advised on the next stage.
7. Successful candidates will be counselled to ensure they accept the post if offered. Regular contact will be maintained to settle them into the new position.

Our ‘live’ database is constantly being updated by a team of consultants and support staff, and consists of thousands of candidates and contacts built up from hundreds of successfully filled vacancies since 2001.

Our track-record of successful placements enables us to draw upon an extensive network of international contacts. A reputation for delivery, integrity and quality of service has proved to be invaluable in achieving a constant flow of referred applicants and market information.
