Question 1

Why use your services, instead of just recruiting on our own?"

Accepted Answer

Employers choose to use us for a variety of reasons.
 
Sometimes an employer has exhausted their recruitment efforts first before engaging with us; other times, an employer wants to cast a wider net by taking advantage of our contacts and passive candidates. We have access to an extensive talent pool, the latest technologies, and a range of tools and methods to find the very best people.

Employers may also use us to outsource recruiting due to time constraints. We do all of the legwork and quickly reduce what can be a large, drawn-out process down to just a few highly-qualified candidates.
 
Sometimes we are engaged with a client because it is a confidential search and the client can remain anonymous.
 
Reasons vary, but we can provide a full placement guarantee, so the risk is low and return can be extremely beneficial as compared to running a traditional job search.

Question 2

What industries do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We are engaged by many types of companies across various industries. Our team has experience including (but not limited to) financial services, accounting, auditing, engineering, procurement, supply chain, and a broad array of emerging and information technologies. The list is growing, as are our areas of expertise.
 
The Bravedale Group focuses primarily in the professional sphere. The majority of placements are for direct hire/full-time positions. Whether the company is large or small, all of our clients enjoy our highly selective process, our careful attention to their needs, and the time and effort savings that we provide.
 
We cover all career stages, working with all "rungs of the ladder" from administrative and clerical through the highest levels of executive search.

Question 3

What sets you apart from other professional recruiting agencies?

Accepted Answer

It's no secret, we simply believe in providing amazing customer service. We're so effective because we really take the time to understand your hiring needs from both skill and cultural perspectives. Our service is not outsourced; you'll find our people are available and accountable. We won't inundate your staffing team and hiring managers with resumes because our highly-selective process yields a short list of qualified candidates.

Question 4

Could we continue to hire workers through other means?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you are never restricted or exclusively obligated to use our services. In fact, you are never required to interview any candidate that we send you (but we sure bet you'll want to). You can always search for and hire workers through any other method you see fit. You would only incur a fee if we send you a candidate and you hire them.

Question 5

How do you find your amazing candidates?

Accepted Answer

Without giving away our secret sauce, there are certainly a few key ingredients that we can share:

Job boards, career sites, and LinkedIn:
In addition to using all of the leading sites for traditional job searches and postings, we are also constantly pipelining candidates - in other words, we actively seek out potential candidates now for future use. By locating talent for future possible positions, we've amassed a valuable database of hidden gems: qualified candidates who would be otherwise impossible to locate because they aren’t actively looking for jobs.
 
Networking events:
While technology has made it easier to both find jobs and find candidates, it hasn’t replaced the value of face-to-face networking. Job fairs, conferences, meet-ups, and other events are still the best way to make connections. These events allow us to network with active job seekers, meet professionals in that industry, identify candidates who are strongly engaged for future hiring purposes, and learn more about positions in that field.
 
Industry relationships:
We maintain strong relationships with specialized recruiters and industry-insiders across the country. We tap these valuable resources whenever we want to dive even deeper into a particular talent pool.
Employee referrals:
We love working with candidates referred to us, especially from workers that we’ve previously placed. Referrals tend to be strong candidates and we actively seek them out.

Our internal database:
Our extensive database is robust and constantly growing, full of incredible candidates that are often passive and not readily available anywhere else. In addition to those candidates that respond to job postings and/or send us their resumes, we use all of the above methods to continually expand our database with both active and passive candidates.

Question 6

What is your vetting process for candidates?

Accepted Answer

Our goal is to carefully and thoroughly screen every candidate based on both skillset and culture compatibility.
 
As for specific assessments and verifications, we cater to the needs of the client. Some companies prefer to administer certain pieces themselves, but we offer the ability to run specific skill assessments, employment verifications, reference checks, background checks, and drug screenings.

Question 7

How can my company obtain more information?

Accepted Answer

Please give us a call at 800-321-7411, and select option 2. A representative can answer any additional questions you may have and walk you through the straightforward process. We can't wait to hear from you!
