Our
Process

I am writing to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding service we received from Headway Recruitment during our recent recruitment process for our Installations Manager role at Amamus Coffee. It turns out that not all commercial recruitment agencies are the same. From the outset, Headway demonstrated a level of professionalism and commitment that set them apart from other recruitment agencies. The utilisation of the video portal and the inclusion of psychometric analysis in the evaluation of our role were game-changers. These innovative approaches not only streamlined the entire recruitment process but also provided us with invaluable insights into potential candidates. Furthermore, the video portal allowed us to gain a more comprehensive understanding of each candidate. This went beyond what a traditional resume or interview could offer. This markedly saved us time and also ensured that we were making informed decisions based on a total view of each candidate's skills. Not only that but their personality, and communication style. Throughout the entire process, the Headway team demonstrated a genuine interest in understanding our unique needs and company culture. Their communication was prompt, transparent, and tailored to our preferences. It was evident that they took the time to understand the specific requirements of our role. This ensured that only the most suitable candidates were put forward. As a result, I have had my faith in commercial recruitment agencies restored! For that reason, I wholeheartedly recommend Headway Recruitment to any company seeking a reliable and forward-thinking partner in the recruitment process.

Headway have not only been instrumental in helping us secure a good number of permanent IT and Admin staff they have also been an absolute pleasure to work with.” -Julie West, Executive Business Assistant Turner & Townsend

After unsuccessfully trying a few agencies, when trying to attract high calibre candidates, we contacted Headway Recruitment. I was immediately impressed by their level of professionalism and knowledge, and one of their consultants was swift to come out and visit me. They really got to grips with our requirements, and their use of psychometric profiles really ensured that we received the right candidate fit for our business. Headway sent us two excellent CVs and we actually offered permanent roles to both candidates. They were honest in their approach and kept me informed during the whole process. Every time we now have a vacancy Headway are our go to agency!

Having opened my own recruitment company and experienced early success I knew I needed to grow my team. I had been working with Rec2Rec agencies to find recruitment consultants Leeds, but after searching the internet I found Headway Recruitment. With their great Google reviews, I was keen to give them a try. Annabel came out to see me immediately and she took the time to understand my requirements. I have now been working with them for the past year and they have placed five excellent candidates within my business who are going from strength to strength and have made such a positive difference to the team. I would not go anywhere else for Recruitment Consultants Leeds.
