Discreet Recruitment

When you have key positions that you don’t want to advertise to the world, we will discreetly ‘headhunt’ passive candidates for the role.

Discreet recruitment, also known as confidential recruitment or silent search, is a method used by companies to fill key positions without publicly advertising the job opening. It is also a method of current employees finding their next big career opportunity without their employer discovering their search.

For businesses, the hiring process is kept confidential to protect the identity of both the hiring company and potential candidates. This approach is often used for sensitive or high-level positions where confidentiality is paramount, such as senior leadership roles or positions requiring specialised skills.

In discreet recruitment, the hiring company typically engages the services of a specialised recruiting firm or headhunter who conducts a targeted search for qualified candidates. The job opening is not advertised publicly, and candidates are approached directly and confidentially by the recruiter. This allows the hiring company to maintain discretion and control over the hiring process while ensuring that they have access to top talent who may not be actively seeking new opportunities.

Discreet recruitment offers several benefits, including:

1. Confidentiality: By keeping the hiring process discreet, companies can avoid potential disruptions to their business operations and prevent competitors from learning about strategic hires or organisational changes.

2. Access to Passive Candidates: Discreet recruitment allows companies to target passive candidates who may not be actively looking for new opportunities but possess the skills and experience needed for the position. This enables companies to access a broader pool of talent and identify candidates who may not be visible in the job market.

3. Targeted Approach: With discreet recruitment, recruiters can conduct a targeted search for candidates who closely match the requirements of the position. This results in a more efficient hiring process and increases the likelihood of finding the right candidate in a shorter timeframe.

For employees actively considering a change, they will enter their details into our talent pool database where we will use our industry experience and professionalism to confidentially approach dealer groups to find the candidate the best opportunities. We will never reveal the contact information of the candidate to network until the candidate is happy for us to do so. This allows them to weigh up their options and discreet test the waters without committing to joining online job boards and other agencies.
