Our “Typical” Permanent Recruitment Process

At Searchability we tailor our approach to fit every hiring objective specifically, but to give you an idea of how we typically work we have included an example workflow and timeline here >

  1. #1 Client onboarding

    We’ll connect you to the most relevant recruiter / recruitment team for your requirements – based upon permanent / contract requirement, location and tech / digital specialism. This can be over the phone, Microsoft Teams or in person.

  2. #2 Immerse into your employer brand & process

    We aim to be an extension of your brand when it comes to candidate outreach, so we’ll take time to become fully immersed into your employer brand, your EVP, and how you work in order to effectively attract, engage and on board the right tech talent.

  3. #3 Vacancy briefing

    We’ll take a detailed spec from the vacancy hiring manager, asking the right questions to ensure we can optimise your advert for top performance, and ensure we know exactly how to engage candidates for your role.

  4. #4 Data insights

    We research the talent market extensively, helping to target our hiring strategy in the right places, and ensure we can offer key advice to assist your internal teams too. This can include a free market snapshot report to give you salary benchmarks, indication of what benefits / EVP’s this talent demographic wants most, and even an insight into your top 10 competitors.

  5. #5 Network outreach

    We’ll search for relevant candidates via our exclusive candidate network at Searchability, across our 100K+ CRM, UK tech communities and 200K+ engaged social following.

  6. #6 Targeted Advertising

    We invest heavily into platforms including LinkedIn, CW Jobs, Total Jobs, Reed, Indeed, Jobserve as well as paid social media to ensure our roles get maximum visibility from the right candidates.

  7. #7 Headhunt candidates

    Our consultants go above and beyond, using a raft of tools to assist their search to headhunt the exact talent you are looking for. Many of which have already engaged with the Searchability brand in the past 12 months.

  8. #8 Qualify & engage

    Our expert recruiters and resourcers are working around the clock (quite literally) to speak to the top candidates, qualify them for relevancy and engage them for your opportunities with the full sell of your proposition as an employer.

  9. #9 Submit relevant CV’s

    We pride ourselves on delivering quality candidates, that we are confident are relevant for your roles, saving you time in your hiring process.

  10. #10 Feedback / Interview

    Our account manager and consultants will liaise directly to gather feedback to either refine our search or manage the next steps to arrange interviews. We aim for quick turnarounds with feedback to keep momentum in the process and avoid missing out on great people. We can deliver all feedback on your behalf, making sure your candidate experience is never compromised.

  11. #11 Closing candidates

    Once you come to the end of your process, simply let us know the details of the offer and we’ll do the rest. Our pre-close and offer delivery process helps ensure a high offer to acceptance rate on your behalf.

  12. #12 Candidate care

    Our dedicated candidate care team will manage all steps between accepting the offer and their first day on the job, safeguarding your hire and driving positive advocacy for both Searchability and your company. We’ll obtain two employment references as part of this process unless you prefer to take references directly.

  13. #12+1 First day check-in and invoice

    We’re superstitious here so this is the 12+1 step… In case you didn’t already know, you pay NOTHING for our services until the day your candidate starts with our permanent recruitment option – at which point our friendly accounts team will issue your invoice to your chosen point of contact with agreed payment and rebate terms according to your chosen recruitment package.

  14. #14 Continued support

    Your part of our client community now – so we’ll keep you updated with industry insights, ensure you have access to complimentary hiring tools and check-in to offer support and advice for your hiring strategy. Just pick up the phone, drop us an email or use any of the resources on this page if you need anything!
