The assignment process is split into several stages from consultation to successful placement.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 dealt with Roheela and Martin Veasey Talent Solutions as both a customer and recently as a candidate.
As a customer, Martin Veasey Talent Solutions were used to recruit both Manager and staff positions, they understood our business requirements and calibre of candidate required culminating in exceptional candidates for interview.
As a candidate I went through a rigorous interview process with Roheela to ensure not only my suitability for the role but to get a clear understanding of my current and future needs.
I had several interviews and was supported at every stage with guidance from Martin Veasey Talent Solutions and Roheela in particular. I had a clear understanding of the role and its requirements which gave me confidence during the process.
I now have a National role with a Blue Chip Company with a development plan to move to a more senior role within 18 months.
I would highly recommend to both employers and candidates.
