Recruitment

EW Recruit is Ellis Whittam's innovative recruitment service, based on our established principles of fixed fee, quality and value for money. 

We do not operate as a traditional agency. Instead, we offer a fast, effective, bespoke and fixed fee recruitment service specifically tailored to your needs.

As experts in dealing with people, we understand more than most the importance of great performance, the right skill set, capability and a positive attitude. As we are already integrated with our clients, we also understand the full impact upon your organisation if you recruit the wrong person for the job.

Our recruitment service is unique:

• We charge a fixed fee per position regardless of starting salary giving you certainty of cost and value for money.

• For our retained clients, the recruitment process is handled in line with your internal policies and procedures - and of course in accordance with employment law and HR best practice.

• You benefit from our assurance that by using EW Recruit your organisation will adhere to employment legislation through the process of selecting and recruiting the right staff.

• A one-stop-shop service for pre-screening through to holding assessment centres, psychometric testing and post-appointment care and induction advice. The choice is yours.

In return for a single fixed fee, we work with you to get the job and person specifications right, to promote the vacancy in the right places, to screen and pre-interview candidates and to identify the very best people for your organisation.

As an Ellis Whittam client you will already understand how we work, our values and our passion for delivering inspirational service. Likewise, we understand your organisation and with a vested interest in protecting it we offer a refreshing, better quality and much more cost effective approach to recruitment than the traditional agency.
