Our Approach
Unique within the recruitment industry, our model combines the best aspects of executive search and contingency sourcing strategies. This approach facilitates a closer recruitment relationship between Core-Asset Consulting and our clients and candidates.
Modern recruitment is about matching the right people with the right companies, not just skills with a particular role. Our recruitment model is tailored to uncover the best talent for your specific needs, backed by a deep understanding of your business environment, succession plans, and cultural nuances, helping us better anticipate future resourcing needs. We add value by providing access to a raft of additional specialist services including salary benchmarking, market analysis and talent management advice.
We act as an extension of your brand, representing your company with integrity and trust in the external market. Our consultants do not make sales calls. The only target we have is placing the right people in the right roles and providing our clients with the highest levels of service.
Recruitment success
Created in 2005, our ambition was to build a recruitment company that offers clients and candidates the highest levels of expertise, engagement and value. We offer a compelling mix of market expertise and outstanding client and candidate engagement, built on the strong foundations of a unique recruitment model. Our focus is on quality, not quantity. This is the philosophy behind our ‘service not sales’ approach to recruitment. By operating on an advocacy basis, we protect and enhance your reputation among candidates and the wider marketplace. Through true engagement we go the extra mile, adding value to your business beyond the normal requirements of most partnerships. As a result, Core-Asset Consulting is now considered by many companies to be their number one recruitment partner of choice.
I have known the team in Core-Asset Consulting for nearly 20 years. The team's commitment to quality and professionalism sets them apart in the industry. They go beyond simply filling roles; they take the time to fully understand our business, ensuring they source candidates who are not just qualified but also align with our business objectives and principles. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Core-Asset.
