Are you an employer looking for a recruitment agency that will represent you proficiently in sourcing an Executive Assistant that will make a genuine difference in your support function?

The first thing to consider is if the recruitment agency is a specialist in the sector that you are recruiting within, its all about who you know in recruitment, as well as what you know about how they are driven to perform.

Recruiting the role of Executive Assistant requires particular focus on ensuring that the candidate has the right motivators for each individual role, as well as the right fit for the culture and team they will be supporting.

They are industry specialists who can advise on things like salary, market trends, competitors, employee value propositions that attract high quality talent, interview techniques, handling counter offers and what it takes to win over a candidate at interview.

A brand representative. Remember once you hand your vacancy over to a recruitment agency they become the first representative of your brand. Consider the way that they represent themselves and if this is reflective in the way you want your candidates to view your organisation. Are they professional, knowledgeable, influential, well connected and savvy? What are their google or independent reviews saying about their service, their professionalism and their genuine care factor for the recruitment process?

Finally, remember that working exclusively with an agency unlocks multiple advantages. When you work with MJD Recruitment exclusively we are able to dedicate a stronger focus on a quality process rather than a quick one, the candidate experience is better as they like working with agencies who have strong business partnerships with their clients, you have control over your brand representation and information about your business going out to the market and it makes it possible for us to reduced our fee.
