How we support you

Consultative Recruitment

Success starts with understanding. We meet with you to get under the skin of the role, your business and the character you’re looking for. All so we can build a clear picture of what the right person really looks like.

Candidate
Assessment

Quality over quantity, always. We thoroughly assess the candidates we recommend, meeting them in person and using technical and competency-based interviews where required, so you only spend time with people we believe genuinely fit the brief.

With you from brief to beyond placement. From the initial job specification and candidate search through to offer, onboarding and retention, we manage the process and keep communication clear every step of the way.

“We have used Optimum Recruitment for a number of years and have been able to build a real rapport with Abigail and her colleagues as they have supported us with a number of vital, often complex hiring opportunities.  The team at Optimum are highly responsive, willing to challenge our thought processes and invest the time and effort to find credible, relevant and well briefed candidates who accurately match the brief provided..”

Abi has assisted us a few times now to recruit into finance roles at different levels.

Abi has assisted us a few times now to recruit into finance roles at different levels. Abi’s great at quickly grasping our requirements and cultural fit to find some excellent shortlisted candidates. She’s proactive, but not pushy and I found the whole process efficient and well thought through. She clearly knows her candidates too and was able to add a bit more colour to the CV’s, so that we could understand the individual. I can definitely recommend Abi, she’s one of the good ones!.
