Does it REALLY look that easy from the outside….?

Posted on March 14, 2012 by Steve Livesey

I overheard a conversation on the tube this week between two people debating the merits (or otherwise) of engaging a recruitment agency. I don’t know the specifics of the topic of conversation… but it was obviously a hot one that had left a lasting impression on one individual, who was now busy sharing that opinion with her friend or colleague.

Now let me begin by saying that for all I know, the gripe in that particular instance may have been perfectly justified. She obviously had a very poor experience on a recruitment exercise and felt – strongly – that the recruitment company hadn’t added anything of worth. She said something like she ‘could have found similar CVs if only she had just gone onto the web in the first place’.

Now whilst all that had stirred my professional curiosity and my new business radar if I’m being truthful… it was the next phrase which really struck me: “They’re all the same”.

Five short words that in an instance painted me and all my colleagues with a brush that could not have been further away from the truth of what Veritas stands for and delivers

Whatever anyone on the outside might think, the reality on the inside, for us at least, is very different. We actually create the conditions for a great hire. There are no short cuts. No quick fixes and certainly there’s no luck involved. We commit so much hard work and perseverance into each and every placement we make. You may only see a shortlist, but to have arrived at that point, it takes the utmost skill and years of experience in recognising talent (15 years’ for me personally and nearly 60 years across the team as a whole).

We would have spoken to everyone. We know our clients inside out; their products, services and their people. We understand their culture, their nuances… and even their faults. We’ll get to know our clients’ competitors, and we’ll try to learn everything that’s happening in their sector today, and what’s likely to be happening tomorrow. It’s a massive amount of work that requires energy, determination, professionalism and stamina to identify and engage with the best talent out there, this is not a 9 to 5 job.

Great recruitment is about getting every single hire right – the cost of just one wrong decision can be enormous. To build a high-performing, value-adding team, you need to bring in real talent every time. Talent with the right motivation and cultural fit. We justify our fees because we are very, very good at what we do. We are not all the same!
