10/02/2012 / SubmitMyPR /

Award-winning IT recruitment agency Nicoll Curtin has come forward to speak about just what makes a good recruitment consultancy.

Nicoll Curtin specialises in assisting professionals seeking IT work within the commercial and financial sectors and a whole range positions available at any one time, both within the UK and in overseas in locations such as Switzerland, Singapore and other European destinations.

Nicoll Curtin believes that it is important for job seekers looking for an opportunity to understand what makes a good recruitment consultancy, to ensure they choose the most appropriate and suited to them in order to build a relationship.

Allison Upton, Marketing Manager of Nicoll Curtin, said: "Recruitment consultants can be sometimes perceived negatively because they are seen to be very sales-driven. However we make every effort to ensure those that come to us seeking employment are placed in positions that best suit their skillsets, and not just to make a commission.

“Equally we also place a high priority on providing clients with excellent candidates that are most ideally suited to their business, which may not just be hard-skills and qualifications. But a fit that is culturally matched too, which is why we spend time getting to know our candidates.”

The dual focus on both clients and candidates is something that all recruiters should balance. They also believe that hiring high quality recruitment consultants in the first instance is imperative in building a great agency, and see the business fundamentally as people-centric.

Putting effort into finding positions for candidates that will suit their requirements in a job as well as their talents and aspirations, ensures the candidate is satisfied and ultimately recommend their peers or colleagues to us in the future. The focus is on long-term achievements when filling IT jobs London or Singapore-based positions, rather than short term successes.
