What Makes Us Different?
Cressida has 27 years search and recruitment experience. She has survived multiple recessions, a global pandemic, lockdowns, her own life changing diagnosis and yet still she thrives in 2023.
“I am expertly reliable, with a lifetime of learning and evolving my craft. There is no outsourced team, just me doing what I love, over and over again, with consistency, intention, passion and enthusiasm backed by a 100% delivery track record.”
What makes ME different?
“What makes me different is my unparalleled market knowledge and my lived experience as a person living with life changing invisible disabilities.”
“I understand the challenges around inclusion and accessibility in recruitment and can work with my clients through workshops and education to create more transparent, equitable and inclusive hiring practices.”
What we do:
✅ Talent Discovery: Focus and proactively target specific underrepresented groups in the market.
✅ Follow underrepresented groups on social media
✅ Provide diverse and inclusive candidate shortlists
✅ Work with clients who want to move away from DE&I tokenism, towards sustainable, active, conscious practice
✅ Help clients to adopt a more inclusive and accessible approach to recruitment practices across their entire business
✅ Run Inclusion and Accessibility in Recruitment Workshops
✅ #Recruit4Good: Provide Audit and Review Service of clients’ ‘End to End Recruitment Life Cycle’, including application, screening, interviewing and retention
✅ Work on an exclusive role/project basis only
✅ Work as a valued partner with my clients
What we don’t do:
❌ Pay Lip Service to DE&I practices or work with clients who do
❌ Promise a quick candidate shortlist turnaround. We explore the entire market place and this takes time. Our shortlist turnaround time averages 2 weeks
❌ Work as part of a Multiple Agent (PSL) on any role
❌ Work as just another recruitment supplier
I had the pleasure of partnering with Cressida in a recent search for new QA Testing Lead role in the UK. Cressida helped me understand the landscape of the market and guided me through the development of the job specification and associated salary benchmarks.
She worked to the timelines I set and, to my delight, presented a diverse short list of candidates who were all highly credible and great fits for the role. The work she did in the background to identify and screen candidates was second to none – to the point where making a final decision was difficult as the final 3 candidates were so strong!
In short – I thank Cressida for introducing my successful candidate to the Firm and I would 100% want to work with her again on future placements.
