Client Profiles

Ideally, the recruitment goals of IT Departments & Technology Companies are:

• To maximise hire quality
• To fill key roles within a planned timescale, no matter how hard the vacancy is to fill
• To reduce recruitment expenditure

In a conversation with one of our clients, a development manager responsible for managing and hiring for a team of about a hundred technical staff across EMEA said:

“Typical recruitment company culture is about purely filling jobs and getting a placement fee and is very sales and revenue driven. This doesn’t produce outcomes in line with client needs”.

We regularly find similar situations, which are unsatisfactory to most clients. We’ve therefore developed a model which meets and exceeds, highly effectively, the three objectives above.

It’s based on a strong relationship between hiring managers and Prosper, working closely over a period of time. We’ve also built a pricing structure that ensures significant savings, with service ably taking account of more difficult hires.

Managers at technical companies, from software or hardware to communications, need to address many variables. Within the team there might be projects drawing on the resources and skill-sets of various individuals, often on a matrix project structure. There’s a strong balance between hiring the best people for certain roles, and securing the best available for positions where compromises can be made.

Our approach is as much advisory as recruitment. We’ll source the best people and advise you when compromises might be appropriate to get the job done. And we focus as much – often even more – on recruiting the difficult hires.

Trust us to focus on your requirements, whilst you get on with other tasks. But rest assured we’ll involve you in decisions and choices at the right time.
