STAFF RECRUITMENTCognitia is part of the SRD Group, a provider of professional contract or temporary staff recruitment, as well as identifying permanent placements.

Sometimes you have an urgent need for staff on a temporary or contract basis, or alternatively you need a more permanent solution.

We produce custom solutions that builds long-term business relationships, and provides employers with tailored staffing strategies and employees with long-term careers. All of our consultants work within their own specific areas of expertise and adopt a variety of cutting-edge sourcing methods to ensure that no stone is left unturned in the search for the ideal candidate.

Once we have identified a list of potential candidates for you we will undertake a series of checks to verify candidate information, qualifications, career history and references. The kind of areas we consider when undertaking checks include:

✓ Evidence of responsibility levels✓ Personality and qualities such as communications skills and work/management style✓ Strategic understanding of the sector✓ Evidence of operational ability and delivery✓ Reason for decision to change role

Our process then continues with a long-list of potential candidates who we will interview on your behalf. For each candidate we will then produce an objective written summary, highlighting key skills and issues. During this process we will be in touch with you regularly to keep you informed and updated and we will manage the offer process for you if required.

Our Search Team of highly proficient recruitment managers have years of experience in providing senior and executive managers for organisations throughout the UK. By using comprehensive search techniques, coupled with detailed industry and business knowledge and contacts, we are able to source and place high-calibre management-level candidates successfully.

We believe that senior level selection is a strategic operation not a tactical one. Appointing the ‘right’ person is important: making sure that you don’t appoint the ‘wrong’ person is critical.
