Every assignment at Europool is project managed by a senior partner. Using a specially-tailored combination of the above services, we will work in close partnership with you to deliver a timely and cost-effective solution to your recruitment needs - a solution which also addresses the broader business picture.

Typically, this process would include:
 
•
 An initial briefing, face-to-face wherever possible. This enables
us to gain an in-depth understanding not only of the vacancy or vacancies to be filled but also of your organisation’s culture and goals. Naturally, our aim is to build up a lasting relationship in which such understanding becomes ‘second nature’.
 
•
 The production of a job specification designed for external
consumption, which describes your organisation, the nature
of the opportunity and the ideal candidate profile. This would be
agreed with you and then used as a working document.
 
•
 The creation of a shortlist of prospective candidates. These names would be derived from our own internal sources, including relevant industry contacts established as a result of work which we have already carried out in the field, as well as from a tightly targeted advertising campaign where necessary to “broaden the net”. We have the media expertise and contacts to ensure the most effective and economical insertions in publications throughout the world. We may also recommend executive search in certain cases to identify and approach individuals within target companies who possess the requisite skill sets and experience.
 
•
 We would make frequent contact with yourselves in order to exchange ideas, information and market knowledge that would enable us to feedback information that would be useful to you in a broader sense.
 
•
 We would conduct extensive discussions and interviews with prospective candidates in order to verify their qualifications and determine their level of interest. We would also make sure that each candidate submitted is as well briefed as possible to make your initial meeting worthwhile. We further verify our views by taking informal references from past colleagues, as appropriate.
 
•
 We would then arrange for you to meet the shortlisted candidates, providing immediate and detailed feedback on each interview, and offering guidance as to the best way of handling the outcome.
 
•
 Once a candidate has been selected, we would work with you to negotiate an acceptable offer. We would naturally recommend that any offer be made subject to references.
