| Description |
We believe that the process of recruitment should be straightforward and pleasant for all concerned. The importance of placing the right people in the right job is, in our view, crucial. We don’t need to look far to see the calamitous effects that being in the wrong job can cause!
With the advance of technology the recruitment process can seem rather cold and somewhat inhuman, many software programmes exist that claim to be able to perfectly match skills to employers needs. Often candidates apply for positions and get placed without ever meeting the consultant responsible.
We ask; can this be correct? Is it really possible to clearly match the needs of the employer with the aspirations of the candidate without ever meeting?
Does the advance in technology signal the end of personal human contact? Not at Bloomfield Associates. We work in harmony with the advances in technology but never forget the irreplaceable ‘humanity factor’. We believe that by meeting our candidates and clients we are able to provide a better service, and they tend to agree!
