Our Recruitment Process for Clients

The process of using an agency should be simple – we are here to take away the stress of a time-consuming and sometimes fraught independent search.

The first step is to simply get in touch with us. You can do this via our Make an Enquiry form, or contact us here.

We want to get to know you and exactly what you are looking for, to enable us to find your ideal person or people.

Our aims are:

  • To meet our Clients wherever feasible to discuss their search and understand their requirements

  • To ensure the expectations of our Clients and Candidates are met to the best of our ability

  • To foster a professional, supportive relationship and maintain full confidentiality at all times

  • To provide the highest quality Candidates available

  • To be thorough in our procedures, including interviewing, checking and vetting our Candidates

  • To provide a quality after-care service, supporting and guiding both Candidates and Clients through the employment process and thus fostering long-term relationships with both parties

How do we source our candidates?

  • The majority register with us through recommendation

  • We advertise widely online and in the press

  • We keep our website updated regularly with new vacancies, with the permission of our Clients (we never display Client details on our site)

Why are we different?

  • We have a 25+ year reputation for successful placements and are well-known which means we attract the best possible candidates

  • Our consultants are specialists in their fields

  • We offer the widest range of assistance available

  • We have strategically placed offices in the UK and consultants in International locations, giving us unrivalled local understanding and international reach.

  • We hold an active REC Membership and are one of few agencies to go above and beyond when it comes to specialist legislation and accreditation (such as holding a SECO Licence for our work in Switzerland)

  • Greycoat Lumleys is a registered agency of the DBS and therefore is able to conduct the necessary disclosure procedures on candidates. Where appropriate, Greycoat Lumleys will undertake this check on behalf of the Client when the offer of a position has been made

  • We operate a strict Equal Opportunities Policy

  • We can offer our Clients a private interview room at our London offices, if necessary

  • We have a network of trained Outreach Consultants, who are available to interview on our behalf and enhance our service

Our Terms and Conditions clearly outline our post placement satisfaction guarantee, with the option of a free re-placement or refund, at the discretion of Greycoat Lumleys.

It is free to initiate a search for staff through us and no fees are due until a suitable placement is arranged. We will supply full details of our Terms and Conditions and Fee Structure when a job is registered.
