We appreciate your time is at a premium. We believe that, in return for your investment in our recruitment services, we should minimise the time you spend on recruitment and deliver above your expectations. Our aim is to win your trust and take care of the whole burden of recruitment.

Recruitment fees appear to be high – we want you to feel we have thoroughly earned every penny. We WILL NOT HASSLE YOU but to ensure we can be successful together all we ask from you is:

A meeting (30 mins)
• This will enable us to talk to candidates with confidence and knowledge of your company; the business, the environment and the culture.
• By gaining knowledge on the technologies you use and the developments that lie ahead we can continually search for high quality Candidates both for the present and the future.

Requirement briefing (5 mins by phone)
• We may need to ask some extra questions outside the written brief which will help pinpoint the RIGHT Candidate.

Feedback
• The best Candidates often have other opportunities so we recommend an efficient decision making process. Thereby the disappointment of losing the perfect candidate to a competitor is therefore avoided.

• How long have they been looking for work?
• Do they have any offers on the table?

• Attitude / motivation
• Passion for the industry and their work
• Biggest Achievement
• Biggest failure

4. Introduce job and if they are interested, qualify any points on specification previously not covered.
5. Tell the candidate about the company to establish if it meets their expectations.
6. The above is handled over the phone and Leapfrog will finish the conversation at any point if the candidate is clearly not a good fit for the opportunity.
7. Depending on the urgency, competition and quality of the candidate, the next step will be a face to face interview
8. This is aimed at furthering the understanding of the candidate, re-qualifying issues already tackled in greater depth, understanding their motives assessing the strength of their inter-personal skills. This is the only true way to get a feel for his or her individual character. The interviews are designed to determine if the candidate has the qualities for which the client is looking, including the skills, the vision and the confidence to meet the demands of the position
9. Call client, describe candidate
