When the need to hire urgently is the most important consideration, then using a specialist Health and Safety recruitment agency is the best way to get potential candidates quickly. If you need to fill jobs urgently with the best available talent then our Recruitment Agency service is lilely to be best.

Making a great long term match is the aim of our talent broking service. We always have a good selection of talented people, generally fairly happily employed, who are seeking better long-term career prospects. They are not job-hoppers but are seeking change which will help them fulfil their career ambitions better than where they are now. As an employer, if you take a longer term view of your likely talent needs and you are career centric in your employment philosophy, then we can introduce you to suitably talented people who will make a great long term match.

Shirley Parsons will manage the whole, or any element of a recruitment campaign. Some opportunities will benefit from advertising in specialist magazines or the national press. In these cases we will prepare and agree the artwork, submit copy and obtain discounts on rate cards. Sometimes this is all an employer needs. At other times we continue with response filtering, short-listing, profiling and interviewing, managing the whole process through to engagement and commencement of work.

Occasionally a hiring organisation will want to handle some elements of the hiring process itself. In these cases we are always happy to help by managing some of the elements. Most frequently we are asked to manage the advertising element, or using our expertise as professional HSEQ people, filter the applicants or assist with the technical assessments. Our purchasing arrangements generally mean that it is cheaper for clients to buy their advertisng through us, rather than directly with the media.

If you need very senior or very specialist talent and it only exists in a very small talent pool, then headhunting is likely to be the only real choice. With an executive network second to none, Shirley Parsons has that unique combination of senior in-house Health and Safety expertise combined with extensive talent sourcing experience. If the talent you need exists, then Shirley Parsons can find it for you.

Occasionally a health and safety specialist needs to be recruited by an organisation which lacks the in-house expertise to properly plan for or assess the technical talents of the applicants. In these instances Shirley Parsons (CMIOSH) will personally help. Having operated professionally in Health and Safety at virtually every level during a career spanning over 25 years, Shirley is ideally qualified to help. Recently Shirley acted as technical expert to assist a well known government organisation.  Shirley filtered the responses to create a shortlist and was part of the interviewing committee.

This works well when we have built up a thorough understanding of the employing organisation and when that organisation has a steady need for new HSEQ talent as it grows, or when it is bidding for a project and needs to have talent lined up ready for a quick start.  Reducing the lead time to hire people who will be a good long term fit for your organisation is a major benefit which comes from a relationship with Shirley Parsons as your Talent Partner
