Structured Recruitment Process

The structured recruitment process we employ at Dawson Jones Recruitment ensures efficiency, transparency, and long-term impact for your organisation. Here’s an insight into what you can expect:

1
Understanding your Organisation and the Position

The process begins with an initial consultation, where we take the time to gain an in-depth understanding of your organisation, team dynamics, and the specific role requirements. At this stage, we advise on salaries, talent availability, and hiring trends in your sector to help you make informed decisions.

2
Defining the Role

Once we understand your organisation and the role you’re looking to fill, we work with you to develop a compelling job brief that reflects your organisation and define the skills, experience and qualities needed for success. With this in place, we create a tailored recruitment strategy designed to engage the candidates who best fit your needs.

3
Finding and Engaging the Right Talent

In order to find the best people for the role we combine multiple approaches, which include: drawing on our established professional networks, running targeted advertising campaigns to reach active job seekers, and using direct headhunting to approach individuals who may not be actively job seeking but are the right fit. This multi-pronged approach enables us to match your organisation with high-quality candidates.

4
Assessing and Selecting the Best Candidates

Each candidate goes through a rigorous assessment process before they reach your shortlist. This includes structured interviews, reference checks, and verification of qualifications. We are also able to carry out sector-specific compliance checks to ensure candidates meet the standards of your industry. By the time we present a shortlist, you can be confident that each candidate has been thoroughly assessed.

5
From Shortlist to Interviews

We provide you with a carefully curated shortlist of candidates, each selected for their skills, experience and cultural fit, and prepared for interview. Throughout the selection process, we’re on hand to coordinate, provide feedback, and support you in making informed decisions.

6
From Offer to Onboarding

When you’re ready to make an offer, we support both you and the candidate to ensure a smooth process.  This includes assisting with offer negotiations, completing final compliance checks, and coordinating onboarding. Our aim is to make the transition seamless, so your chosen candidate is ready to start with confidence and clarity.

7
Continuing Partnership

Our commitment doesn’t end when the candidate starts. We stay in touch to support successful onboarding, resolve any early concerns, and ensure the placement is working well for both client and candidate.
