Search vacancies
An individual consultant is responsible for the full life cycle of the recruitment process. This journey begins by gaining an understanding the requirements of the client, and travels through sourcing, screening, interviewing and delivery of a shortlist of candidates.
Assignment Process
The assignment process is split into several stages from consultation to successful placement.
Consultation
We conduct an informative discussion with the client, which is ideally face-to-face. We take a detailed brief to gain a full understanding of the business offering, culture, vacancy background, role and person specification, including key competencies. The consultant that you meet will be project managing the complete process.
Candidate Sourcing
For search assignments, our Research Manager supervises this part of the recruitment process under the guidance of the consultant and will discreetly make the initial approach to the potential candidate to assess suitability and interest. For database assignments, we interrogate our extensive in-house database, established over a number of years. We have also invested in access to a number of external databases. We identify and contact candidates to assess suitability and interest.
Assessment and Initial Interviews
Suitable candidates are formally interviewed by the consultant. This happens after initial pre-screen email exchanges and telephone calls to clarify information from the perspective of both parties. We then move into formal interviews, which cover biographical, technical and core competency questions.
Long and Short Listing
We usually provide clients with a long list of candidates within a four-week period and aim to shortlist and present three to six relevant candidates between four and six weeks following the initial briefing. We provide the client with a shortlist of candidates and their original CVs, together with interview notes and appraisal including key strengths and any development needs against agreed key competencies for each candidate.
Client Interviews
We will assist the client in arranging the interviewing schedule, ensuring that candidates are fully prepared and briefed. At this stage, psychometric tests can be arranged, if required.
Offer Management
We usually act as an intermediary between client and candidate to facilitate and enable the smooth presentation and acceptance of the offer. We can assist with the negotiation of the package, conditions and other details as required. We are experienced in negotiating on behalf of clients for international roles taking account of different currencies, tax regimes, visa and other employment-related issues.
Post Acceptance
Throughout the duration of the candidate’s period of notice, we maintain occasional and unobtrusive contact, we often provide guidance and advice to the candidate to help manage their transition period from one organisation, and even country, to another.
Due Diligence
We recommend clients obtain written or telephone references from candidates’ previous employers and check qualification and memberships. However, we can undertake this on the client’s behalf.
On-going Relationships
We maintain a close relationship with our clients and candidates to ensure their objectives have been met and to provide ongoing support and advice throughout careers.

I have been working with Martin Veasey Talent Solutions for 8 months, they spent time sourcing and negotiating interviews for me, with their knowledge and understanding of the current recruitment market, they were able to guide me through the different job prospects, also when an opportunity arose, they briefed me on the requirements of the company and potential future benefits but keeping in consideration my expectations and needs as a person.
They spent a lot of time preparing me for the interviews, going through possible questions, talking through interview processes the different techniques that can be used, positive phrases and words, gathering data and stories to run through scenarios from past experiences.
During negotiations for the job offer, they were respectful of what my current needs were, my commitments, but also what I was looking for in the future, where I wanted to be and how I was trying to get there, even when my life situation changed and became complicated, they were there for me to talk things through and work things out, so opportunities were not lost or put on hold.
Without their help and support over those months, I most likely would not be currently working for my new employer, a specialist division of a large manufacturing and engineering plc, they were able to have a good understanding of the company, as well as me as an individual, the support is ongoing and they are never very far away for more help and guidance, they keep in touch regularly, so I know in the future during my career with my new employer, a specialist division of a large manufacturing and engineering plc and the up and coming changes and improvements to be implemented, they will be there for me.
Both Martin and Roheela are very approachable, easy to talk to and always professional, very thorough with what they do and accomplish, they research the companies and yourself to successfully help achieve to the best of their abilities everyone’s aspirations and goals, a pleasure to work with them.
