Advisory
Working closely with HR and business heads, Cohesion advises on recruitment processes, identifying skill and knowledge gaps throughout their business. We advise on team structures, staff retention strategies, role responsibilities and leadership skill shortages to ensure our clients’ can concentrate on growing their businesses.
Our team also advises on preferred supplier agreements and creates bespoke induction programmes, drawing on their in-depth recruitment industry knowledge.
Cohesion is all too aware of the challenges businesses face when undergoing a restructure. We are able to assist with all out-placement needs including one-on-one advice, individual plans and CV development.
Cohesion is in a unique position whereby its two directors work together on every recruitment brief, drawing on 40 years of combined recruitment experience.
By working closely alongside our clients, we immerse ourselves in their business and build a comprehensive picture of their requirements, from the outside in. This enables us to fully understand every recruitment brief, ensuring we find the right consultative solution.
Experience, market knowledge and long standing networks enable us to recruit the very best professional talent nationwide, spanning General Management, Finance, HR, Sales and Marketing and Supply Chain, for both contract and permanent positions.
Permanent Recruitment
At Cohesion, we offer a full end-to-end recruitment solution, approaching every role from three angles; utilising our database, tapping into diverse networks and a full search function.
1.
How we find talent
We believe in order for us to find the best candidate in the market, we need to attract passive candidates as well as those who are actively looking. At Cohesion we draw on a combination of:
- our diverse networks built up over decades,
- our carefully maintained database,
- a full search function using the latest technologies.
These tools, along with our passion for recruitment, ensure Cohesion secures the right person for the job.
2.
Robust Processes
Ensuring the authenticity of each and every candidate’s career history is paramount to the success of our business.
Every prospective employee is subjected to a rigorous, impartial interview process encompassing both skill based and behavioural questioning. All successful appointments undergo comprehensive reference checks and background checks (credit checks, Ministry of Justice, qualification verifications). Psychometric testing can also be provided as a part of this process.
3.
Common sense approach
Cohesion brings a common sense approach to the recruitment process because we don’t believe in making things more complicated than they need to be.
We are transparent on every assignment we undertake, working with our clients to establish a brief and to ensure that the skill-set they are looking for really does exist in the market place.
Cohesion prepares a realistic time-frame for everyone of our assignments. This ensures our clients know the date the shortlist will be presented, the dates they are required to interview and the start date of the preferred candidate. As a result our clients have an upfront understanding of what they are investing in and exactly what the recruitment process entails.
4.
Unbundling
As well as offering full end-to-end recruitment, Cohesion can provide an unbundled recruitment solution. We can break down the recruitment process should our clients only need help in specific areas.
This can work well for clients who have their own recruitment resource or have a candidate in mind, but would benefit from added rigour around some aspects of the process, such as interviewing.
5.
Directors involvement
Engaging Cohesion means our clients will always be given the expertise of both directors, Nichola Rawlence and Rachel McNaughton. Nichola and Rachel work tirelessly on every assignment, to provide the best talent.
Contract Recruitment
Speed to market is of utmost importance in contract recruitment. We achieve a fast turnaround without compromising the quality of our contractors.
Both directors have a very strong reputation in the contract recruitment market which gives our clients peace of mind in this fast-paced sector.
