Making Recruitment Clear: A Q&A with Rowland Recruitment
Whether you’re a client seeking the right talent or a candidate considering your next career step, it’s important to understand how we work and what you can expect. Below we’ve answered some of the most common questions we receive.
Do candidates pay a recruitment fee?
No. Candidates never pay a fee to work with us. Our services are free to job seekers, with our fees covered by the hiring firm. For candidates, our focus is on understanding your career ambitions, preparing you for interviews, and introducing you to opportunities that align with your goals.
Will my CV be sent out without my permission?
Absolutely not. We never forward a candidate’s CV to any firm without prior consent. We always discuss opportunities with you first and only proceed once you’ve given full authorisation. Protecting your confidentiality and reputation is paramount.
How do you support clients beyond sending CVs?
Our role goes far beyond simply matching skills to job descriptions. We invest time in understanding your firm’s culture, values, and long-term goals. This allows us to present candidates who not only have the technical expertise but who will thrive within your team and contribute to your success.
How do you support candidates throughout the process?
We provide tailored advice at every step, from CV feedback to interview preparation and market insight. We act as your advocate, ensuring you are fully informed and supported as you make career decisions.
What to expect when you have secured a role or have appointed to a role?
We maintain regular contact throughout the process with both candidates and clients to ensure a successful appointment. We continue to check in with both parties during the first three months to support a smooth onboarding experience and to confirm that the candidate has settled well into the role, and that both the candidate and client are happy.
Why use Rowland Recruitment instead of advertising directly?
Advertising may generate applications, but it doesn’t guarantee quality. We actively approach, engage, and carefully select individuals who fit your role and culture. This reduces wasted time, shortens hiring processes, and increases the likelihood of a long-term, successful placement.
At Rowland Recruitment, we believe in transparency and building trust. We pride ourselves on being a trusted partner at every stage of the recruitment journey. If you would like more information on how we can support you, whether hiring or job searching, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
