How we work.

Each Executive Recruitment Consultant in the B Series Recruitment Group operates in a specific sector so that they can develop an in-depth understanding of both the candidate and client requirements as well as the markets that they operate in.

Assignments are undertaken on a contingent basis, where you will only be charged a fee upon the successful commencement of a candidate.

Consultants conduct in-depth preference, skills and behavioural interviews. Without exception, the candidate’s permission is obtained prior to submission to any organisation and this is done with a full Confidential Candidate Report outlining the consultant’s reasons for doing so – we will NEVER just send you a resume.

B Series Talent Bank™

As a group of five recruitment companies, we receive over 20,000 resumes per year across various advertising channels specifically relevant to our core sectors of Construction, Engineering, and Manufacturing. Recognising that our database is a powerful resource and to deliver on our value proposition of “Better Quality Candidates Faster” the B Series Group of Recruitment Consultancies have been seeking more efficient ways of searching, storing and representing these candidates.

Through the use of Cloud Computing, we have consolidated the B Series Recruitment group of consultancies databases and offered every consultant in the B Series the ability to search all resumes sourced by the group. This gives our clients access to a highly concentrated source of candidates and a very effective means of searching for them. In addition to this, we are able to offer all candidates a greater level of opportunity within the core sectors in which we specialise.

Clients now have a powerful tool that offers talent pooling by consultants who only focus on their areas of speciality.

There are over 300,000 candidates available for selection, through the engagement of one consultant in one business. No need to brief multiple companies offering similar solutions.
The B Series Talent Bank™ is a National database.
