OUR BESPOKE STAFFING SOLUTION
All recruitment was on a contingency basis, and we continue to work with them in this way. However, a number of roles were released exclusively to Blackfield Associates alongside their own direct hiring campaign. This enables us to spend more time sourcing the highest quality candidates and presenting only those who are an exact fit for the requirement to the client, saving them time and money.
DELIVERING ADDITIONAL VALUE
During all communication, we provided real-time market insights, salary benchmarking which included salary analysis and market intelligence.
