What Each Package Includes

  • Support level: on Sigma Black a director and an experienced consultant personally oversee your vacancy; on Sigma Green an experienced consultant is dedicated to your recruitment; on Sigma Yellow a dedicated consultant leads a search tailored to your needs.
  • Job advertising: your job goes live on 10 job boards with Sigma Black, 9 with Sigma Green and 5 with Sigma Yellow, so active job seekers see it.
  • Candidate search: as well as advertising, we search for candidates who are not actively looking: a director-led search of the Sigma database, LinkedIn and three national job boards on Sigma Black, the Sigma database and three national job boards on Sigma Green, and the Sigma database and two national job boards on Sigma Yellow. This gives you more candidates than advertising alone.
  • Candidate marketing: a sequenced email, text and telephone campaign reaches candidates through the channels they prefer, so fewer potential matches are missed.
  • Video adverts: professionally made video adverts and video explainers that present your company to candidates.
  • Interview support: we help you build a competency and scenario-based interview process.
  • Pre-employment checks: checks before the offer reduce the risk of hiring an unsuitable candidate.
  • CV portal: CVs are presented on a central online portal instead of in your inbox, a more efficient, transparent and GDPR-friendly process.
  • Offer management: we actively manage the offer stage with you and the candidate.
  • Aftercare: after the start date we check that your new hire is performing as expected and settling into your team.
