Clients
At Annapurna HR, we know how difficult it can be to find the right people and how time consuming the process can be, which is why it is our mission to make our clients experience of this process as easy as possible.
We believe all the best relationships begin with a meeting, which will enable us to understand exactly what it is you are looking for and what type of organisation you are. You will only be dealing with consultants with serious sector knowledge and a wealth of recruitment experience built over considerable time in the industry.
At the meeting we will establish the way in which you want to work, whether that is going to be search or contingency, which will result in you receiving a shortlist of suitable candidates to select from.
You can expect that each candidate on that shortlist will have been telephone screened against your mandate, references taken and met (if applicable), so that you can be sure that we have provided you with the best candidates on the market for your vacancy.
During the process you can also expect progress reports that will detail to you exactly what we have done for you in the search for the perfect candidate and if there are any issues, what they are.
Naturally, we also handle all the logistics such as arranging interviews, candidate feedback and the handling of offers.
We have a wealth of experience dealing with all sorts of clients, from small recently formed charitable enterprises to the biggest Investment Banks and everything in between, so you can be sure that we know how to find the best candidates in your space.
We break our teams down to focus on specific industry sectors, which gives us unparalleled access to the best HR candidates that will be of most of interest to you. Some of the sectors we focus on include:
- Retail, Hospitality, Travel
- Construction, Logistics, Engineering, Facilities
- Banking, both Retail & Investment
- Professional Services including Legal, Insurance, Accountancy etc
We can provide both traditional Contingency recruitment, Contract & Permanent, as well as Executive retained search. Our delivery capability in all areas is greatly enhanced by the unmatched access to candidates we get through our Industry specialisation and through our sponsorship of the HRTN.
The HRTN has become a cornerstone of our search practice. It enables us to compete in terms of speed, accuracy, cost and delivery against our competitors.
The search practice is led by James Ballard, the chair of the HRTN, underneath are specialist consultants who are aligned by industry and within that by further ‘generalist’ or ‘centre of excellence’ specialism.
