Candidate Services
Understanding our candidate's needs
At Oliver James Associates we fully appreciate the importance of getting to know all of our candidates as well as possible to really understand their needs. We spend time working with them to properly understand their full skill set and experience, which enables us to closely match them to a role which meets their aspirations and expectations. Our ability to forge strong relationships with our candidates and provide a consistently high level of service has resulted in many candidates returning to us throughout their careers – whether it be for another career move or as a client recruiting for their team.

With Oliver James Associates, candidates will have access to:
• A superb portfolio of clients
• Exclusive job opportunities
• A business with a reputation for success
• An unparalleled network
• Specialist consultants with sector-specific knowledge and experience

Making the most of the candidate’s skills
It is vital to us that all candidates achieve their full potential. In order to achieve this, we search for roles that will provide the right challenge and give maximum recognition and reward.
We work closely alongside candidates to help them understand what skills they have to offer, where they can capitalise upon these skills and how these are transferable. We feel it is our responsibility to introduce candidates to a wide range of roles to open up new possibilities, including suggesting opportunities which may not have been previously considered but would make full use of the skill set the candidate possesses.

CVs, Interview Preparation and Offers
All consultants are experienced in assisting candidates in getting the best out of their CV. We know our clients well and know what they are looking for in a new candidate, and can offer knowledgeable advice on how to tailor a CV to make the most of, and emphasize, the skill set of the candidate. From pre-interview conversations, to post-interview feedback, Oliver James Associates will be at hand to provide extensive preparation material and insight into the interview processes allowing candidates to perform to their best ability. We review the salary of all candidates, to ensure they are matched to a package that fully represents their experience and skill set; and in the event of an offer, are willing and ready to offer advice regarding the handing in of notices and counter offers.
