EMPLOYMENT GROUP
5050 Castle Employment Group was founded in 1966 and has been
built on one solid foundation: creating a long-term relationship
with all our clients. What we can do for you today is important
– but it’s nowhere near as important as building a business
relationship that will last. In an industry that is far too frequently
dominated by the short term, Castle is with you for the long term.
Our head offi ce is in Scarborough – where the business was
established over 50 years ago. Throughout that time we have
remained resolutely independent, and we are accredited to the
highest possible standards in the recruitment industry. We will
always work openly, fairly, ethically and honestly.
We now have consultants working throughout Yorkshire and
place candidates from Inverness to Southampton. We operate
across eight specialist divisions, with dedicated, specialist teams
in every division.
EMPLOYMENT GROUP
OUR PEOPLE
All the recruitment team at Castle are qualifi ed Recruitment &
Employment Confederation professionals. You’ll fi nd them honest,
straightforward, open – and a pleasure to work with.
Only the very best work for Castle – and we aim to make them
even better. We will always invest in the training and development
of all our team – from our newest apprentice to the MD.
Our willingness to invest, our determination to help everyone at
Castle grow and our commitment to making Castle the very best
place to work are all refl ected in our staff retention. The average
length of employment in the recruitment industry is 26 months:
at Castle it is 8 years.
MORE THAN JUST RECRUITMENT
Castle is about far more than just recruitment. We have a
specialist HR & Employment Law function to help you with
contracts and employment practice. Our qualifi ed CIPD
professionals will work closely with you to provide practical
and eff ective bespoke HR solutions, whatever the size of
your business. We will make sure your HR functions are fully
compliant, effi cient, cost eff ective and always on the right side
of the ever-changing legal requirements.
Four times a year we run specialist CPD seminars for local
professionals, making sure they are fully up to date with the
latest developments and practice in employment law.
…And as a company we are actively involved in the recruitment
industry. Our directors talk to legislators and policy makers. We
know what’s happening, what’s going to happen and how it
will impact your business. We produce white papers, industry-
specifi c reports and salary surveys. We’ve a vast wealth of
knowledge at Castle – and it is all at your disposal.
FINDING YOU THE BEST CANDIDATE
Are we committed to finding you the best candidate? Of course we
are. But we are also committed to finding the candidate that is best
for your business.
That means we’ll look at the culture, values and beliefs of your
company – and we will find an outstanding candidate that matches
your company’s culture.
A candidate can come with an unblemished record of career
progression and a tremendous track record: but if they’re not going
to fit with your company and your team, it won’t work.
HOW DO WE DO THAT?
At the moment it is a candidate-led market. The ‘war for talent’ is being
fought more fiercely than ever. That’s why we have an in-depth, industry-
leading recruitment process that will make your company stand out
from the competition, attracting the very best talent. We combine this
with comprehensive and up-to-the-minute candidate attraction methods
including:
• A database of 35,000 candidates which is updated on a
daily basis.
• Advertising – extensive investment in the leading jobs boards,
in addition to advertising on our own website.
• Recommendations: good people know good people,
60% of our candidates are referred to us.
• Wide-ranging use of LinkedIn Recruiter.
• Social media advertising – over 57% of candidates now look to
social media to help with their job search.
• Knowledge, personal contacts and experience – our directors
and recruitment consultants are some of the best and most
networked in the industry.
We are not afraid to headhunt when it is necessary. All that adds up to a
robust and comprehensive selection process that leads to candidates with
the right skills, the right values and the right work ethic: candidates we
can recommend to you with confidence.
