Working in Partnership with Platypus Recruitment

Recruiting the right people is crucial to the success of every business – after all, every cog has its own part to play in turning the whole machine wheel efficiently! If done wrong, it could also prove costly, both in monetary terms and in your time, not to mention the disruption it can cause within the team.  

But when it is done right, it's a joy to behold! 

Right from the start, we endeavour to understand every aspect of your company, including your company goals and culture. 

We also look at the bigger picture, and that’s why we feel it is important to consider not only the technical and academic skill set required for the role but also the softer skills the ideal candidate should possess too to complement your team. 

And it's only then that our search for that perfect person begins. 

This may involve advertising on websites on your behalf, CV searching and utilising our network for recommendations, longlisting potential candidates before sending through the best shortlist for your consideration. 

Once candidates have been selected from the shortlist, we will organise interviews to suit your schedule, initially online if preferred with face to face ones to follow for the next stage. 

We strongly recommend this as it gives both parties a chance to really experience the environment and maybe meet the team. This will ensure that the hybrid environments still possess stronger real interaction and working relationships than a virtual one.  

Once a candidate is chosen and an offer made and accepted, we will also assist with any onboarding requirements, ensuring a speedier start.

We also encourage feedback for the unsuccessful applicants as this helps us help them for future interviews elsewhere.

And we will continue to be on hand to answer any questions you may have.
