There is no ‘I’ in the Equation team!
At Equation we have developed a team framework that ensures you receive 100% individual commitment to the task in hand. Unlike most other recruitment partners, we have divided the elements of the process into a highly collaborative and engaging customer process. These areas consist of Recruitment Consultant, Business Development and Candidate Management.
Business Development works hard to promote the Equation brand and our core values and services in an open, honest and friendly manner. Our Business Development teams’ main goal is to engage the business community at the sharp end of our business, and forge strong and close relationships to understand companys’ individual situation and recruitment requirements.
Recruitment Consultants only work on live vacancies and marketing skilled candidates into the employment channel. They act as key points within the recruitment process of permanent and interim staff. We have taken away the business development element of a Consultants daily workload to ensure that their focus is on resourcing the right candidates for the right role, and not have to worry about sales development and targets in this area. Our Consultants are focused 100% on candidate and vacancy fulfilment, and each individual is fully trained by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) ensuring that all legislative requirements are adhered to, so we can represent customers in the most efficient manner.
Candidate Managers’ role is to competency interview and screen all generalist enquiries into Equation Recruitment. They process all required administration onto our market leading recruitment databases, and liaise closely with all associates seeking work via Equation. This role within our business ensures that we maintain candidate customer relationships, and are better able to service our candidates and achieve/exceed their expectations.
