Recruitment Services
The Works Staffing Solutions offers specialist recruitment services for industrial, manufacturing and technical clients in Hampshire and Dorset. We handle permanent, contract and temporary staff assignments from our offices in central Southampton. Today we are one of the major recruiters of industrial, manufacturing and technical staff in the Hampshire and Dorset area.
Our success is driven by our personal, hands-on approach, ensuring we fully understand the needs of our clients and candidates. Our recruitment process begins with a frank discussion of our client's requirements, usually done at their premises to help us get a fuller understanding of their business. We then carefully select candidates that meet their needs. We have built our reputation through our total commitment to meeting clients' and candidates' needs and our in-depth understanding of what is required.
Candidate Selection
We use our extensive recruitment experience to select the best candidates for our clients. The position briefing is vital and we use that opportunity to find out as much detail as possible about the role, including talking to the line manager where relevant to discuss their requirements in depth. This detailed, personal approach ensures that we understand what our clients require in a successful candidate and enables us to assess candidates in that light.
Our interviews are carefully structured to be extensive examinations of a candidate's relevant experience, competency and suitability for the position they have applied for. We also scrutinise and verify qualifications, visas and any other documentation.
Business Relationships
Strong partnerships with our clients are fundamental to our business. We work hard to understand our clients' culture, corporate mission, vision and values, and their organisational structures. Once we fully understand the organisation, we work with the client to establish guidelines for a successful long-term working relationship. Guidelines are tailored to each client's needs, but clear lines of communication are always a priority. To achieve this, we encourage face-to-face meetings with client representatives and our recruitment delivery team on a regular basis.
