• Leanne Thomas Associates has been set up to recruit top quality candidates for clients in the HR, L&D/Training and Office Administration sectors.• Collectively we have extensive experience of working in these fields, and are fully aware of how difficult the recruitment process can be if left in the wrong hands. We make sure that we are better at matching up candidates to clients ensuring that the timeframe is kept to a minimum, as the longer the recruitment process the more of a detrimental impact it has on your organisation as whole.• Our aim is to build a long term business relationship with all of our clients. We do this by maintaining regular contact to ensure we’re up to speed with all the developments that take place in your organisation.• We like to meet as many of our clients as we can to: i. Discuss your recruitment needs. ii. Help formulate clear and detailed job specifications. iii. Advise on the best approach, each time we recruit for you.• Candidates often receive poor treatment at the hands of recruiters. We have a simple philosophy which is to treat candidates and clients how we’d like to be treated ourselves. In turn we will meet with every candidate we submit to you to assess suitability. If this is not possible for logistical reasons, we will interview them over Skype to asses their aptness for your role.• Candidates are fully briefed and prepared before you meet them.• We stay in contact with them after they’ve started to ensure a smooth transition into their new position.• We firmly believe that the success of our business centres on a three-way partnership, where you (our clients), our candidates and our own staff are of equal importance.• The primary goal is for our organisation to exceed the expectations of both candidates and clients at every stage of the recruitment process.Introduction Copyright © 2015 Leanne Thomas Associates

According to a survey completed by a Paramount Recruitment* in 2014, the top 10 pet hates of recruitment agencies are as follows:• Pushy recruiters.• Irrelevant CVs.• Sales approach.• Over promising and not delivering.• Not listening to what you (the client) want.• Bypassing HR.• Unsolicited approach – fishing emails.• Not confirming candidates expectations.• Being made to feel you (the client) are not worth the agency’s time.• Stealing the client’s employees whilst working with them on assignment.

The same procedures apply. As an agency, we want our service to be a complimentary addition to your recruitment method(s).• We ensure that before we send you any information, we have given you a brief phone call introducing ourselves and our service. If we have already made contact, then we will be calling to see if we can offer any help with regards to your recruitment needs of any HR/L&D/Training/Office Administration roles you are currently advertising for.• We do pre-screening interviews with our candidates every time we meet them to find out whether their specific requirements match your requirements.• Whether you call and/or meet us at 7.59am or 5.29pm on a Friday, you can be reassured that you will always be treated with the utmost professionalism and greeted with a warm, friendly smile when we meet in person.
