For Employers
File Search and Recruitment Advertising
Successful recruitment policy hinges on securing the staff who will drive your business forward, those who will truly add value and who are often the hardest to find.
Straker Simkin’s File Search service satisfies many important requirements. The service provides immediate access to a ‘bank’ of screened individuals profiled on our database. These potential candidates are a substantial resource, which can be matched and approached for a client, on a cost effective contingent fee basis.
Where Recruitment Advertising is appropriate, Straker Simkin will provide the expertise and momentum that make a recruitment campaign a success. We will advise on job and candidate specifications, devising an effective advertising strategy, drafting copy and providing liaison with the media. We will handle all response, promote the opportunity and ensure a proper conclusion.
Merger and Acquisition
Straker Simkin recognises that there are many times when a client’s strategic goals can only be achieved by radical means. When this is the case, we have knowledge of our areas of operation to ensure that opportunities can be identified.
The sensitivity and confidentiality necessary during all stages of Acquisition and Merger actively are fully understood. Our independence will be effective in protecting current business.
Straker Simkin provide initial advice on a range of matters during Acquisition and Merger. However, it is important to have sources of disinterested advice and we introduce advisers or obtain advice in areas such as business planning, IT, appraisal, capital structures and taxation strategy.
Executive Search
Executive Search is the most refined and pure form of recruitment. The process demands time, commitment and thorough planning both by the client and Straker Simkin.
Executive Search is the most suitable way of identifying, interesting and recruiting key executives who, in all probability, will not be considering a change of employment. The process includes defining a universe of candidates, preliminary short-listing and final short-listing. Momentum is essential in all recruitment activity, but especially so in Executive Search.
Straker Simkin provides extensive warranties and a 3 year “hands off” agreement to clients who instruct us to carry out Executive Search assignments.
