| SEEING THINGS FROM A CANDIDATE'S PERSPECTIVE:
Beyond SUPERMAN and SUPERWOMAN Gordon Yates is client-driven. By this I mean that we try to source the best possible people for our clients. This doesn't mean that you have to be Superman or Superwoman to get a job through GY! But it does mean that, at every level, we're always looking for that extra edge of experience, ability or enthusiasm. A force in your favour Such candidates bring out the best in us. When our recruiters really believe in someone, they can outsell anyone on earth! This, allied to a client list that includes most of London's best employers, become a huge, powerful force in your favour. It gives you immediate access to the best career opportunities and temp work in town. Better still, for such candidates willing to commit to us exclusively, we offer exclusive commitment in return - designed to give you the best service you ever experienced anywhere. But what about the people who don't quite match what our clients need - the candidates who don't get a job through Gordon Yates? I'd like to give you an example of what one candidate said:- "Thank you for your support. You encouraged me to continue my quest. Without that I don't think I would have got there." (Barbara Angopa) We didn't place this person, but we still had a positive impact and she went on to find the job she really wanted in PR. Whatever the outcome, it's important to us that candidates leave Gordon Yates enhanced rather than diminished by the experience. Other points worth making:- We interview you in private - away from the bustle of phones and interruptions, so you receive the 100% focus that you deserve. We don't abuse your trust. For instance, agencies sometimes ask about your other job interviews as a way of gaining sales leads rather than to help you - as soon as you've gone they put their own candidates forward in competition against you. We have always opposed this kind of practice. On a lighter note, our candidates benefit from informal get-togethers every three months or so - we provide the food, wine and sometimes entertainment (cartoonists, conjurers, that sort of thing!). It's a good way to meet each other and helps to create a sense of belonging. Our temp team benefit from vouchers when they introduce a friend. They also get unique loyalty bonuses, along with great jobs and friendly, supportive service. I hope this gives you a picture of what to expect.
