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 Martin Veasey Talent Solutions for over 3 years while in the capacity of Managing Director at a construction products manufacturing business in the UK. Martin and Roheela were introduced to me by our Group HR Director who had previously used their services on many key appointments, including International roles.
Having used many specialist recruiters in the past I was impressed that both Martin and Roheela took the time to travel to our premises to fully understand the business and to meet key members of the team. This proved to be beneficial as we built the senior management team. Key appointments included, Sales Director, Production Manager, Marketing Manager, Mechanical Design Engineer and SHEQ Manager.
Through each appointment Martin Veasey Talent Solutions took the time to fully understand the brief and challenged us if they considered that we had overlooked any key points. The process of sourcing and evaluating candidates, from a client’s point of view, was effortless. Martin Veasey Talent Solutions ensured that we were updated on a regular basis on progress relating to the volume and quality of the candidates being evaluated and then presented to us those candidates that they believed would be suitable. On occasions where the response was slow or the quality of the candidates was of concern then Martin Veasey Talent Solutions were proactive in suggesting changes to the brief or the benefits being offered to encourage better response. Martin Veasey Talent Solutions presented each candidate with a summary document detailing their evaluation of them along with a copy of the individuals CV. Following evaluation either Martin or Roheela were available to discuss in detail any questions we had before interviews were arranged.
At all times the candidates presented to us were of high quality and calibre to suit the role, and it was often the case that we had more than enough candidates for first round interviews. This did not stop Martin Veasey Talent Solutions continuing to search for further candidates.
Candidates arrived for interview well briefed and many commented on how impressed they had been in dealing with Martin Veasey Talent Solutions when compared to other agencies. The wider Martin Veasey Talent Solutions team were very efficient, helpful and professional and provided effective communication between client and candidates while at all times Martin and Roheela were available when required.
Working with Martin Veasey Talent Solutions has without doubt allowed us to build a strong and effective senior management team which has allowed us to focus on developing and delivering key strategic objectives. Their understanding of market sectors along with their commitment to delivering quality candidates and a quality service has never failed us. It has been a pleasure to work with both Martin and Roheela over the last 3 years and I look forward to our continued relationship moving forward.
