WHEN YOU ENGAGE FLUID, YOU GET

A Track Record of Delivery on the Most Difficult Assignments

We thrive on delivering results where others cannot.

 

We understand the challenges companies face in talent acquisition, and our solution is built to access the full extent of the passive market, rather than just candidates who happen to be actively looking - and that is most often where the best quality is.

 

Our methodology is proven across all our industry specialisms to deliver top quality market mapping and ultimately securing great candidates for our partner clients. It is driven by a commitment to a robust, exhaustive and innovative search process.

 

Because of the scarcity of candidates in the market and the importance of making a superb impression, it's crucial you can engage a search partner you trust to get it right, every time.

GET TO KNOW THE WAY WE WORK

Our Points of Difference

Exclusive Partnerships

We work with a large portion of our clients on an exclusive and retained basis, particularly for the most crucial and 'difficult to fill' roles.

These are long-term and strategic relationships which give the highest level of visibility and control, further helping you to make the best hiring decisions for your business.

Industry Specialists

Each of our recruitment consultants is an expert within their specialist markets and only deal with specific industries and sectors.

This ensures you are dealing with a recruitment partner that understands both the specialist skill requirements, and the industry-specific demands of your role.

Direct Headhunting

We proactively headhunt candidates using our networks and affiliations, to find the best talent in the market.

This is a skilled and delicate process, that requires discretion and dedication. The best candidates are not job hunting. It is our responsibility to source, attract and engage.

Connected and Up to date

To stay connected to our existing network and expand our reach, we utilise our extensive database as well as referrals, job boards, research projects, headhunting, regional candidate pipelines, branded campaigns and advertising, social media and candidate driven events.

Network Driven Approach

Our network-driven approach enables us to maintain talent pipelines of passive high-calibre candidates who are not registered on competitor databases.

This ensures the clients we partner with have access not only to the best available talent, but the best talent within the market regardless of their current status.

An end-to-end 360 degree service

We manage each step of the process, including: briefing, sourcing, interviewing, compliance, shortlisting, offer management and post placement care.   

Our service includes a range of value-add options including pyschometric profiling, skill assessments, probity checks and detailed reference checking.
