CANDIDATE SEARCH

You've got a vacancy to fill. But where are the right people?

Finding the right person isn't always straightforward.

You might have advertised your vacancy and received applications that don't quite match what you're looking for. Or perhaps you're wondering where to start.

Either way, searching for candidates, attracting applications and reviewing CVs takes time — time you'd probably rather spend running your business.

You need suitable people to consider, without recruitment becoming another full-time job.

That's where we come in.

Our Candidate Search service combines CV database searching, targeted job advertising and the experience of a professional recruiter who personally reviews applications before forwarding suitable CVs for your consideration.

£395 fixed price. No placement fees.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

More than a job advertisement.
A structured search for suitable candidates.

For £395, we combine candidate searching, targeted advertising and professional recruitment experience to help you find people worth considering.

Here's what we'll do for you.

01

Search for suitable candidates

We'll search professional CV databases for people whose experience matches your vacancy. We'll carry out an initial search, followed by a second search after our Day 14 review to identify additional candidates.

02

Encourage candidates to apply

Where we identify potentially suitable candidates, we'll send email invitations encouraging them to consider your opportunity and apply.

03

Advertise your vacancy professionally

We'll write a professional job advertisement and publish it on the JobMatchedCVs website for 30 days.

04

Give your vacancy additional exposure

We'll allocate £50 towards Google Ads, included within the £395 package price, to help attract relevant applicants. The advertising campaign will run for up to 14 days, or until the budget is exhausted. There is no additional charge for this advertising budget.

05

Personally review applications

As applications arrive, an experienced recruiter will review them against your requirements and forward suitable CVs for your consideration.

06

Review progress together

Around two weeks into your campaign, we'll arrange a short conversation to review the response so far, discuss the suitability of applications and consider whether your search needs adjusting.

We'll use what we've learned to help guide our second CV database search.

And what does that mean for your business?

You don't have to manage the advertising, search CV databases or work through every application yourself.

We do the searching and reviewing. You decide who you'd like to interview.

WHY CHOOSE CANDIDATE SEARCH?

You know your business.
We know recruitment.

Finding the right employee isn't simply about placing an advertisement and hoping the right person responds.

It's about knowing where to look, understanding what makes someone suitable and recognising experience that might not be immediately obvious from a CV.

That's what years of working in recruitment bring to the process.

We use that experience to search for suitable candidates, write advertisements that encourage applications and review the responses with a recruiter's eye.

You make the hiring decisions. We bring the recruitment experience.

GETTING STARTED

It starts with a conversation.

Before we begin searching, we'd like to understand a little more about your business and the person you're hoping to recruit.

We'll discuss the vacancy, the experience you're looking for and any difficulties you've encountered finding suitable candidates.

It's also an opportunity for you to ask questions and for us to explain exactly what our Candidate Search service can offer.

If we're confident we can help, we'll agree the next steps, confirm the fixed price and arrange payment before work begins.

No pressure. No obligation. Just a straightforward conversation about your recruitment needs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A few things you might want to know.

What happens if you don't find suitable candidates?

We understand how important finding the right person is to your business, and we'll make every reasonable effort to identify and attract suitable candidates.

We'll carry out the agreed CV database searches, advertise your vacancy and review applications as they arrive.

Recruitment isn't an exact science, and we can't guarantee that every search will produce suitable applicants.

What we won't do is send you unsuitable CVs simply to make up numbers. We'd rather be straightforward about the results of our search than waste your time considering people who don't meet your requirements.

Are there any additional fees if I employ someone?

No. Candidate Search costs £395, payable before work begins.

The price includes the £50 Google Ads budget, and there are no additional placement fees if you employ someone we've introduced.

How long does the Candidate Search service run?

Your vacancy will be advertised on the JobMatchedCVs website for 30 days.

We'll conduct an initial CV database search and arrange a progress review with you around Day 14. We'll then carry out a second database search, taking account of any agreed adjustments.

The included Google Ads campaign will run for up to 14 days or until the £50 budget is exhausted.

Suitable applications will be reviewed and forwarded as they arrive during the campaign.

When does my recruitment campaign begin?

Once we've discussed your vacancy, agreed the requirements and received payment, we'll prepare your campaign.

Your campaign will begin within two working days of receiving payment and your complete vacancy brief.

We'll confirm your campaign start date and explain what happens next, so you know exactly when your recruitment activity will begin.

Will you interview candidates before sending their CVs?

Candidate Search includes a professional review of applications against your vacancy requirements, but it doesn't include telephone interviews or detailed candidate screening.

If you'd prefer us to speak with candidates and assess their suitability in more detail, our Recruiter-Assisted Search service may be more appropriate.

Can I speak to someone before deciding?

Absolutely. In fact, we'd prefer that you did.

We'd like to understand your vacancy, answer your questions and make sure Candidate Search is the right service for your business before you commit.
