A closer look at the work that goes into finding the right fit – for both clients and candidates.
Recruitment can sometimes seem straightforward from the outside – a job goes live, some CVs are sent over, interviews are arranged, and the hire is made. But behind that seemingly smooth process is a huge amount of groundwork, strategy, and hours of people-focused effort.
At Additional Resources, we work hard to ensure both our clients and candidates receive the highest quality service. But what does that actually look like on a day-to-day basis? Let’s take a look behind the scenes.
When a client engages with us, they’re not just asking for “a few candidates” – they’re trusting us with a business-critical task. And we take that seriously.
Here’s what goes into a typical client project:
Understanding the Role & Business Culture
We take time to properly understand the vacancy, your company culture, and what success looks like in the role – far beyond just ticking off qualifications on a job description.
Job Advert Creation & Optimisation
Our team crafts tailored job adverts, written to attract the right kind of applicants – not just more applicants.
Candidate Search – Manual and Thorough
We don’t just wait for CVs to drop in. We actively search multiple databases, headhunt passive candidates, and tap into our own networks to find those that match the brief.
Rigorous Screening
Every shortlisted candidate has been spoken to, assessed against your criteria, and matched not just for skill but for team fit and attitude. We do the sifting – so you don’t have to.
Ongoing Communication
We keep the process moving, follow up with candidates, chase feedback, handle offer negotiations, and ensure a smooth onboarding – often outside normal office hours.
Job searching can feel daunting. We’re here to support candidates through every step – with a real focus on their long-term success, not just a quick placement.
Here’s what candidates often don’t see:
CV Advice & Refinement
We take time to polish CVs, bring out relevant strengths, and ensure they align with the role – all without altering the truth or over-promising.
Interview Preparation
We don’t just wish you luck – we help you prepare. From sharing client insight to running through practice questions, we set you up to make a strong impression.
Honest Feedback
We offer constructive, timely feedback – whether you get the job or not – to help you improve and stay motivated.
Long-Term Support
We stay in touch. Many of our candidates go on to become clients, and vice versa – we’re here to help you grow, not just move.
Whether you’re a hiring manager or job seeker, working with a recruiter means gaining a committed partner who’s working tirelessly behind the scenes.
We know the stakes are high – and that’s why we dedicate so much time, energy, and heart into every search. It’s more than a job to us – it’s about building futures, shaping businesses, and making a lasting difference.
