Whenever we receive a job
brief, we search our databank to find suitable 'matches'.
This can usually be done within a day or two.
We will immediately respond with an idea of
candidate numbers so that recruiters are kept fully up to date.
We then
contact each candidate with details of the job and ask if they wish their
CVs to be submitted.
We never do so without permission.
Employers
are then free to arrange interviews or we will be happy to do this for you
It's
wrong to generalise about people, young or old.
There
are, however, some crucial advantages of hiring a mature person.
With
a mixture of experience and confidence in their own abilities, mature staff are often up and running faster
They
generally have an old fashioned work
ethic and a great propensity for loyalty towards an employer.
These values should not be
underestimated.
Investing in the training of a
key member of staff can too often be frustrated by losing that individual
to another organisation, and often one that is a competitor.
Many
employers actively seek individuals who, once in-post, are likely to stay
there.
Training
for many of our candidates is often limited to that of
"induction" - a considerable saving in cost.
Logically, a candidate in his or her forties or
fifties who finds a responsible and satisfying job,
is highly likely to remain loyal in that position.
