OUR COMMITMENT
Flying Colours make a commitment to every employer they deal with that every candidate will have been interviewed. All vacancies will be accurately recorded and a brief sent to the employer to ensure that everyone’s idea of what the post requires corresponds. Only candidates who match the specification will be put forward. Finally, Flying Colours will seek feedback to ensure that they have “got it right” so as to continually update and modify their service or the posts requirement if necessary.

OUR CANDIDATE RECUITMENT STRATEGY
Referrals – by offering the best possible service to our candidates we constantly have a large number of potential job seekers being recommended to us.
Regular high profile advertising in the media – including internet and job boards. We employ the services of a marketing expert to help maximise our image when advertising.
We have a member of staff who is dedicated to searching out potential candidates.
High profile point of sales advertising – our office location enables us to be visible and thus helps us to attract more potential job seekers.
We are candidate driven – this means we are proactive in our efforts to find suitable openings for our candidates. We don’t just wait for the jobs to come in.
We never under estimate the competition – our level of candidate care means that we “stand out from the crowd” and ensure that we will always maintain our reputation.
TO SUMMARISE…..
Flying Colours is a provider of recruitment solutions rather than an “order filler”. We work in partnership with our clients – understanding their plans and strategies, and respond quickly to their recruitment needs.
We aim to be the first “port of call” to potential job seekers and employers. Our candidates are better briefed about the job requirements, and fully prepared for interviews and assignments, so that they outshine their competitors and stand a better chance of success.
Measuring our success is an essential part of our ethos. Critical success factors include the number of client companies wishing to use us exclusively or on a preferred basis, to having high interview to placement ratios, and being able to offer job interviews and immediate temporary work to the majority of its candidates.
The most critical success factor for us is our ability to attract quality candidates on a continuous basis. Industry research reveals that an agency's good reputation is the most effective magnet for attracting high calibre candidates. Currently we attract over 50% of our candidates through personal recommendation.
