COMMITMENT FROM THE OUTSET

INFORMED

You will receive regular updates on progress, meaning you’re kept fully up to speed throughout the process

DEDICATED RESOURCE

On commencement of a retained project, you will be allocated dedicated resource from a specialist partner, your role will be their only priority until the requirement is fulfilled.

SPEED

When you retain our services, you retain our full attention which is why our timeframe from instruction to completion is much faster than most. In the consultation period, we will mutually agree on deliverables for each step in the process, scaling up or down according to business requirements.

SUCCESS RATES

We have a 98% success rate with retained projects. This is partly because we are experts at what we do, and partly because of our honesty and integrity. If we don’t believe we can fulfil the requirements of the project we won’t accept it.

TIME SAVED

We are very thorough in our approach. We will deep dive into company culture, core values, interview key stakeholders and truly understand the impact of delivering the right person in the role. This takes time. By retaining Burton Recruitment, you avoid the need to do this multiple times.

BRAND AMBASSADORS

We view ourselves as an extension of your company, which is why we spend so much time at the outset understanding your core values. Ultimately, it is our responsibility to represent your brand within the marketplace in a positive and accurate manner. Misrepresentation can be extremely damaging and have a direct impact on your ability to attract high calibre talent.

COST

There is no increase in cost for retained recruitment, we simply invoice a third of the total fee upon commencement of the assignment, with the final balance due on completion.

CLIENT DILINEATION

Within the parameters of a retained assignment, we represent you and only you. When reaching out to prospective candidates, your position is the only opportunity we will discuss.
