At Harris Jones, our team of consultants works closely with each client to develop an in-depth understanding of your company culture and specific requirements, not just for an immediate recruitment need, but so that we are able to develop a longer term, tailored approach, for your future needs.

Your Account

Your dedicated account manager will work with you to create a full job specification, including company history, facilities and benefits. Your particular needs, including both the skills and personalities required are considered in detail.

Our Candidates

Our reputation for excellence stems in part from the exceptional quality candidates we attract for both temporary and permanent positions. Our extensive database has been built up and is maintained, through local and national advertising and, all importantly, through personal referral and recommendation.

Quality is ensured through selection of applicants on the basis of both interview testing procedures. Our consultants' specialist knowledge ensures candidates receive a professional in-depth interview and, where appropriate, all candidate skills are assessed on our Qwiz testing and training system (test results are available on request). Free training is provided to enhance candidates' skills if necessary.
