Do You Want To Progress Your Career?
We listen: we want to hear your career aspirations, and how we can help you take the next step.
We support you all the way - it is important to us that you feel comfortable and we know finding a new role can be stressful.
We guesstimate we've read around 150,000 CVs to date making us expert at representing you on paper, building a profile around your strengths and ambitions.
You will always be kept informed of potential new roles and when you get your interview we tell you everything you need to know. We even provide pre-interview coaching to banish nerves!
We will negotiate salary/benefits on your behalf. Most importantly, we will make sure that are delighted with what's on offer.
Once you are happily settled in your fantastic new role, we'd love to hear about it! Please keep in touch, so don't be shy
Our Ethical Standards
Our ethical process begins with the decision to accept an assignment. We never accept a role that we do not feel we will be able to fill with the strongest candidate. At best, this is a waste of everyone's time, and at worst it could be disastrous for an individual's career, your organisation and our reputation.
Is the job description/personal specification a true reflection of the role? We invest considerable time understanding a requirement to ensure we attract the right people. This includes a thorough analysis of the job description and an assessment of all influencing factors, including the potential for growth, the workplace culture and team dynamics.
We examine the qualifications/eligibility criteria for the role - is it a wide range or relatively narrow? The former may need narrowing down and being too specific reduces the candidate pool and may also mean potentially excluding or discriminating against otherwise qualified individuals.
In a candidate driven market, we work hard to 'sell' a role to a potential candidate but will never misrepresent the company, the scope and difficulty of the role, the remuneration or any other key components as this would both delay the recruitment process, but is also highly unethical.
When presenting our candidates, we accompany CVs with a comprehensive candidate profile including the individual's motivation, strengths and weaknesses and career aspirations.
Recognising that attending an interview can be a very stressful process, we give all candidates a wealth of pre-interview support including interview techniques, comprehensive company background, team structure etc., all of which allows a candidate to perform as confidently as possible and allows them to truly represent themselves.
We remain active and available, for both employees and employers, throughout the lifespan of the search.
Our internal practices are reviewed regularly to ensure transparency and fairness.
Working With Avocet
First things first: we think about your company culture as well as how the vacancy fits into your team. This helps us find the individual who will be a brilliant asset.
We're not sales consultants or one hit wonders! After all, we want you to come back to us with your next vacancy.
We operate a fastidious vetting process; we won't bombard you with CVs and we'll never knowingly put the wrong candidate forward.
Client feedback tells us (by the way, have you read our testimonials?!) that our comprehensive candidate profiles, including our personal impressions and reasons why the individual's 'fit' is right, tell more of story than a CV alone.
We take this whole business pretty personally, so we're always available.
Putting faces to names is sadly pretty rare in this business but we love to meet as many people face to face as possible. The ball is really in your court for that one!
Testimonials are curated by Avocet Strategic Resourcing and are not independently reviewed or verified.
"They are easy to deal with and provided good feedback and help along the way. I have recommended them to many friends and clients and will definately be using them again and again in the future."

"I have worked with Keith for 10 years now in a number of organisations. During this time Keith has always provided a professional service. They have taken the time to understand the requirements for the role and then supplied candidates suitable for interview. I would have no hesitation in recommending Keith to provide recruitment services. Thanks Keith and here's to another 10 years."

"The standard of the CVs we receive is better than any of the recruitment companies we have used in the past and the customer service is also far superior. Avocet have helped us to recruit more efficiently."
Operations Director, IT Services Company on 15 February 2016
"In my long experience, of dealing with hundreds of recruitment consultants (mostly as a candidate) I can honestly say that I found Keith to be the best. It's not often, in the contracting world, for someone to take an interest in, and actively support, a candidate's personal and professional development: yet Keith achieves this effortlessly. He always takes a great deal of time to ensure that candidates are the right match for a client and actively monitors feedback on both sides to ensure that all parties are happy with the fit, a long time after most consultants stop calling.
I can attest that Keith's top priority is quality over quantity and he delivers value to his clients whilst finding the best rates for his many happy candidates. I would, and have, recommended Keith's personable service to clients and candidates alike, and would not hesitate to collaborate with him again in the future."
