Vision Retail Services was established to provide an efficient and cost effective recruitment service to national and larger regional retailers by specialists who have had successful careers in the Retail Industry and understand the problems from within.

Of course, we know that recruitment and selection is a demanding process. After all, people are motivated by many different factors. That's why we go out of our way to understand what these factors are for our candidates and most importantly for our clients.

When both client and candidate fully understand what each expects of the other before the initial meeting, the chances of a successful appointment improve dramatically with the added advantage that the time from a vacancy occurring to the best available candidate taking up the position is reduced to a minimum.

HOW DO WE ACHIEVE THIS?

Our primary objective is to establish a long term working relationship with our clients, in effect to be their ambassadors. We will meet with yourself and/or a nominated post holder within your company to ascertain the key qualities required for success, company culture, primary responsibilities and what it takes to drive your particular business forward. We also take a keen interest in other areas such as career progression, training and the benefits package as well as company development plans. In fact, we are confident that we can significantly improve on the more traditional filling vacanies role to the much more valuable concept of giving our clients a commercial advantage by placing only the best candidates with them.

This, of course, means that we have strict rules about the number of companies we represent in each market sector to avoid any conflict of interest. In other words, we do not search candidates from our clients under any circumstances.

Before presentation to yourselves each candidate is interviewed in depth to determine their operational capabilities and level of understanding of the key areas of performance within the job role.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

We expect in store candidates to visit one of your existing branches (geography permitting) before being interviewed by yourselves and to take time to find out about your business, its products and services and its target customers.

We mean what we say "finding the best people for the best companies".

We also understand that the process from initial presentation either by C.V. or profile to appointment is a critical one.

Introducing the right candidates is key, but in a competitive market it is not always enough. That is why every Vision Retail Consultant keeps in regular contact with both client and candidate through each stage of the selection process from first interview to commencement of employment. Fundamental to this process is obtaining feedback from both parties and covering issues with the candidate such as period of notice and most importantly how to deal with a counter offer.
