Candidate Services

RECRUITMENT: We specialise in the identification and validation of the right candidates that will enable our clients to most effectively pioneer their way into the UK Marketplace. Conversely, our client's success is almost entirely based on our candidates ability to succeed and this is where Tyler Mason's unique architectural approach delivers its own success...

SUBJECT MATTER & BUSINESS EXPERTISE: Tyler Mason's in-house expertise assists our clients to ensure that their recruitment requirements are transposed into accurate Job Specifications. The accuracy of this 'transposition' process, allied to our industry expertise enables us to validate the accurate selection and matching between our candidate's aspirations, his/her qualifications and the cultural fit that they are seeking...to our client's corresponding requirements and circumstances.

CANDIDATE / CLIENT MATCHING: Within Tyler Mason, our approach is one where we endeavour to uncover where our candidates want to be in 3, 5 or even 10 year's time. This phase of our work is based on what we term our 'Geometry of Success'. From this 'geometric analysis' we are more able to identify the right opportunities that most closely match the career aspirations of our candidates. This selection/matching process is then followed by both candidate and also client preparation interviews, which ensure that expectations are correctly set and that both parties are on parallel paths. This 'parallelism' in turn, radically increases the 'yield' at the subsequent client/ candidate interview stage.
