PASSIONATE ABOUT
RECRUITMENT

Born from a passion for tackling recruitment differently, and with over 25 years of experience in the local market, we have established One to One Recruitment as a trusted recruitment partner to help small and medium sized companies to find the perfect person for their business and teams.

We offer our clients a range of packages when it comes to recruiting a permanent member of staff, from our Fixed Fee package to our all-encompassing Leadership Service.

What does this mean? We act as an extension and support to you or your recruitment line manager and can take on as much or as little of the recruitment process as you’d like. From face-to-face interviewing, skills-assessing and reference taking to conducting your new team members first day induction. We have the resources and expertise to support you in finding people who will grow and add value to your organisation.

At One to One Recruitment we take a consultative approach which allows us to:

  • Meet your changing staffing requirements – temporary, full time, part time, permanent or contract
  • Understand your business and ‘personality’
  • Build an ongoing relationship so you have a personal point of contact
  • Advise you on the type of person who will suit your business and company culture
  • Add value to your business through your recruits to help you grow!

 

The majority of our projects come through referrals and recommendations, and we believe in face-to-face meetings to figure out where a business is, where it wants to go, and who is going to be the right next person to join your team.

Our expert, commercial recruitment experience allows us to recruit for all office based positions including marketing, management, administration, insurance, HR, finance, office management, strategic and project based roles and more; on a temporary, contract and permanent basis.

Not only do we meet our clients and spend time with them, we meet and interview thoroughly each candidate applying for a job. Finding a dream job can be at times a daunting task. Reading between the lines of a jargon-written job description, preparing for a competency-based interview or simply understanding the dynamics of a panel interview, can be challenging. We strive to find opportunities that fit your expectations and aspirations, ultimately finding your perfect next job role.

Please do give us a call to find out more about how One to One can help you achieve great results – whether that’s finding the right person or the right role, One to One Recruitment is here to help.
