Information for Employers


Why use an agency?

Candidates are far more likely to register with a specialist recruitment agency (especially experienced candidates!), as opposed to making numerous direct approaches themselves, following company advertisements.

Working with an agency eliminates the usual risky "up-front" aspect of expenditure normally associated with advertising, which can often be very hit and miss.

The hassle factor and time associated with recruitment is virtually eliminated (including advertisement preparation, the sifting of endless CV's, preparing a shortlist, organising of the interview process and subsequent candidate liaisons following the interview).

Should a successful recruit not work out, a company will need to go through the whole recruitment process again, thus incurring further advertisement costs. Some agencies do offer a sliding scale rebate period, but Navigation offers a 100% money back guarantee for the first 3 months!*

Why use Navigation Recruitment?

All of Navigation's clients are treated individually, thus ensuring the delivery of a truly bespoke recruitment solution tailored to satisfy each client's requirements.

In this challenging and developing climate, we see our role as that of a strategic partner, combining a firm grasp of specific markets with the knowledge and ambition to deliver recruitment solutions.

Navigation has a highly trained team of specialist IT Recruitment Consultants, covering every vertical market in the IT industry.

We attract candidates using a wide variety of online and paper based advertising, as well as utilising our existing client database and referrals through our extensive UK-wide IT network.

Dedicated resource staff, further complements these methods to ensure the entire recruitment process is managed in a timely and professional manner.

We are committed to providing a qualified shortlist of candidates as swiftly as possible after being given a full job specification. Potential candidates are fully screened before submitting their application to our clients. This comprises an in-depth interview, ascertaining the candidates' current situation, motivation, experience, aspirations, career history, achievements, expectations, communication skills, cultural fit and their value to the market place. Therefore our shortlists are exactly as they suggest - SHORT! Thus reducing Management time reviewing inappropriate or ill matched CV's and applications.

For Senior Assignments, we can utilise personality-profiling techniques along with competency based testing to further aid the short-listing process.

In the service sector the only thing that allows rapid and profitable growth is offering a service that is as good or significantly better than the historic standards in that area. We think we have managed to do this.
