Simon has been instrumental in sourcing several key placements for me, including a Managing Director. His expertise lies in his ability to quickly understand the exact needs of our business and provide a short list of applicants that closely match, and often exceed the brief given. I have been particularly impressed with Simon’s management of the recruitment process from the initial applicant presentation through to offer negotiation, Simon has always exceeded expectations.
Having the knowledge and experience in the sector, Martin delivered on all fronts, from putting a compelling candidate brief to selecting the right pool of candidates, providing a diverse shortlist back to us. Martin kept us well informed throughout the process and took an active role in securing the right package for both PIL Membranes and the candidate.
Centriforce have engaged with Kaizen for several high-profile operational roles and most recently in the successful recruitment of a new Factory Manager position. Understanding the client’s requirements and then transferring the brief into a successful recruitment programme is always key to a successful relationship. Kaizen’s approach has always been to ensure the upfront requirements are clear, to understanding the role, only putting forward high-quality candidates that are a right fit for our business , our culture, and our future. Kaizen recognised how important a decision it was for our business to select the right candidate. To put a cost on successful recruitment is very difficult but I do believe Kaizen offer value for money and a unique relationship that appreciates why you engage with a recruiter in the first instance.
Very quickly Simon absorbed the brief for our Engineering Director (in reality he helped develop it), and offered a range of suitably qualified and credible candidates. The successful candidate is now in role and has lived up to expectations; Simon’s follow-up throughout has been regular, professional & succinct.
