The Mandeville process for quality recruitment
All of the aspects below combine with Mandeville’s rigorous screening process to ensure we put the right candidates in front of you first time.
Sector specialism
All Mandeville sales and marketing division consultants recruit only for roles in sales and marketing, day-in day-out, so we provide unrivalled knowledge of the key skills, attributes and aspirations needed to succeed in these highly competitive and challenging roles. We boast over 16 years’ experience in recruiting for sales teams and 10 years of recruiting for marketing roles.
A truly tailored approach for each client
At Mandeville we are passionate about understanding the intricacies of our clients' and candidates' needs and wants. Only then can we make the best match for you short- and long-term. Where possible for the client, we will always meet face-to-face at first to fully understand their requirements. This helps us in understanding their business as well as their recruitment needs so we can match candidates better.
Our Sales and Marketing recruitment consultants build our strong client relationships via varied methods including:
- regularly visiting the clients premises
- shadowing and spending time with staff and managers
- drawing on longstanding experience with clients, manufacturers, suppliers
- day to day job-shadowing – walking a mile in the candidates shoes
- sitting in on client’s interviews to understand their interview style and process
- working in the industry – many consultants come from sales and marketing backgrounds
So we understand the exact candidate who will “make it” both personally and professionally
Rigorous Screening
The rigorous screening process common to all Mandeville divisions takes its lead from your briefing and ensures quality. We take the responsibility for pre-screening away. Instead of a mass of CVs you only receive details of those select few candidates who fully meet your brief and who we recommend you see in person. This means you can get to business quicker. As part of our offering we can conduct telephone interviews, face to face interviews, or assessment days on your behalf.
No mass of CVs
Some clients do prefer to receive CVs prior to interview and we will send requested CVs across. Most prefer for us to take that hassle away from them and instead have a detailed briefing with them on the phone about candidates. This gives them a chance to ask questions and have instant answers. Less reading, less time needed, and more tailored candidate information.
Face to Face interviewing
We meet all sales and marketing candidates in person before we put any forward. As we meet people in person we are best placed to judge the all-important personality fit to your team and company, and their face-to-face selling and interpersonal skills. We are also in the best position to promote and publicise your company to candidates face-to-face.
Excellent candidate management
You meet all Mandeville candidates knowing we have already spoken to them in detail about the role and your company, so they have a genuine interest in and passion about applying. Mandeville candidates are well-prepared and eager to conduct a business conversation with you regarding a future position.
Post-placement care process
Our work does not stop once you accept our successful candidate. After clients have offered candidates a position we:
- keep in regular contact with the candidate before they start work
- check with them on their first day to ensure a smooth and prompt start
- continue to contact them regularly during induction period
- have regular contact with you to check their progress and your satisfaction
