Kirsty has always looked after my recruitment needs because she is completely focused and able to provide the right people for work that I have been involved with for many years. She is also incapable of boosting a persons cv unnecessarily. She has my wholehearted endorsement. More...

What can I say, a fab service. Having finished some contract work just before Christmas I went through all of my contacts in recruitment and sent my CV out to them and also started applying for positions being advertised by some of the bigger agencies. Having not received much if any feed back from some of the larger agencies I tried the direct approach with some of them but still nothing. Just one email to Kirsty and the wonderful service started, I was made to feel like a person and not just a number, the personal touch that you get from Kirsty Craig Associates is wonderful. Having dealt with Kisrty last year when I was between jobs they take the time to meet you and get to understand who you are, what you are looking for and assess how they can help you.I will always remember this as in most of the positions that I have held in the past and hope to hold again I have been the one looking to do some of the hiring and I know just where I will be going to for help in finding candidates when I am looking to hire new staff.Thank you Kirsty More...

If you find recruiting the right talent a right pain then you’ll be pleased to know that you’re not alone! And with 94% of roles successfully placed then why wouldn’t you use us to take away that pain?

Getting recruitment wrong will be time consuming and costly, but getting it right adds huge value to your business in so many ways. Our clients come back to us every time they need to recruit because they know exactly what we are going to do to earn our fee. And our openness and honesty, plus a quality over quantity, consultative approach, has delivered proven results way above industry standards.

Our professionally qualified recruitment consultants have more years of experience than we care to think about or mention which means that our considerable knowledge and expertise gained during those years add immense value to the outcome of what we do.

Because one size doesn't fit all, we have three options to choose from - which one is right for you depends on how much time you have to give to the process, the level of expertise available within your team and where the role sits within your organisation.

Our core options...

Executive recruitment...the fully outsourced process to short list stage
Source, CV and telephone screen...appropriate for lower level and multiple roles, to long list stage
Source and visual CV screen...where you have the time and in-house expertise to manage the selection process yourselves
Candidate profiling for key roles...using the LifO method to understand candidate 'fit' with your vacancy

Training & Development – investment for success
It’s difficult to find the right talent in the first place, so when you’ve got the right people in place why miss the opportunity to enhance their skills and expertise? And in doing so add tremendous value to your business and maximise performance while ensuring you retain your best talent.

Our qualified and experienced training consultants have designed programmes to accelerate knowledge whilst coaching ensures this learning is carried through to behaviour. Courses are in both one-to-one and workshop formats with follow-up reviews for an agreed period after course completion. Our portfolio includes established programmes and the ability to shape and tailor workshops to meet identified objectives and training needs.

Programmes covered include:

Management training - OUR NEW COHORT STARTS IN OCTOBER 2017! See page for more information

HR basics for SME's
One of the most useful and effective tools we use in all our programmes is the LifO® method of behavioural profiling. It guides people towards new personal strategies and offers tools that ensure they can perform to their best ability. We also provide mentoring support for SMEs.

Move from tracking employee information in spreadsheets and filing cabinets to personalised HR software that gives you the freedom to focus on your business.
