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 worked with Roheela and Martin Veasey Talent Solutions for 15 years now. Their responsiveness and customer service has been excellent but more importantly their understanding and interpretation of my requirements has been paramount while they search the markets and find the right fit staff for my business needs. This success in turn has built a good working relationship with them, they understand my needs, know the type of individual I need and that in turn goes some way to explaining why I have been working with them for all this time and continue to do so.
Over the past 10 years my staff requirements have changed significantly from a UK based need to a global one spanning 11 countries. The roles that have been recruited for have covered a wide variety of skill sets from General Management, Operations, Quality Assurance, Business Development, project Management, Legal, Environmental and IT. All roles have to speak English but all roles also need to be local nationals which is not easy to achieve especially when you are recruiting in Latin America, South Africa, Russia, Japan, China, Singapore and Korea.
Candidates presented for interview continually are of a high standard, well briefed and prepared which makes the actual process so much easier especially the potential language barriers that can be encountered during the more formal discussions.
Another significant impact of working with Roheela and Martin Veasey Talent Solutions is that they have the ability to find good calibre people quickly, only present the best ones, which in turn allows me and my local teams to make good use of our time.
I look forward to working with Roheela and Martin Veasey Talent Solutions for many years to come.
