With the ambition of offering a solution for this gap, Customized Recruitment was launched in the middle of the pandemic. This meant being creative to connect clients with prospective employees. It also meant truly understanding the needs of a business and ensuring they aligned with the pool of candidates presented creating mutual trust from the very first interaction.
People work for a company they trust and share values with them. Understanding that the recruiting process is the first step in building that trust, transparency and integrity are paramount to how Customized Recruitment conducts talent acquisition practices. There is no “head hunting”, only clear, compelling career opportunities shared where the best talent can be found.
The Customized Recruitment approach is working! Despite an extreme talent shortage, client roles are frequently filled on average in 4-6 weeks, certainly not months later.
