Integrating recruitment advertising, response handling and assessment

Finding people that are good at the job, not just good at being interviewed

There is a shortage of talented individuals in the UK, the sort that employers want.

Latham is a HR consultancy offering a range of services that help clients recruit and retain people at all levels of the organisation. Our expertise is in recruitment advertising, particularly on Internet job boards, response handling and the use of the best personality and psychometric assessments, business and job simulation exercises and technical tests available.

We have a strong ethical and professional ethos, give our clients options and best advice, and deliver an outstanding service in three key areas:

One: Widening the pool of talent to go fishing in

Good quality candidates have plenty of choice; only an open mind, hard work and a personalised approach will succeed in winning them.

Selling the opportunity requires a realistic job and person specification, an understanding of how recruitment advertising and Internet job boards work, and welcoming, open arms.

Applying best practice protects client reputations, with Diversity Monitoring part of any post project review.

Two: Looking beyond the CV; past performance is no guarantee of future success

Recruit the personality; you can teach skills, you can't teach personality.

Be they existing employees or external candidates, we have conducted literally thousands of employment interviews. And whilst skills and experience are important, personality or potential usually dominate any shortlist.

Regardless of how the shortlist has been arrived at, only thorough assessing and testing will identify those that are good at the job, and not just good at being interviewed.

Three: Maximising strengths, whilst managing limitations

There is no such thing as the perfect employee; the challenge is to identify what their strengths and limitations are, and can they be managed?

Be they new or existing employees, underperforming or vital to the organisation, we can identify, and help you manage, their strengths and limitations, by linking a Personal Development Action Plan to individual coaching and mentoring, even in sales positions.
