Project Recruitment - REC Members

Wellingtone, one of the UK’s leading Project Recruitment agencies are pleased to announce that we are now members of the REC [Recruitment & Employment Confederation]. The REC is the trade body that supports and represents the recruitment industry.

The REC has excellent links with policymakers. Their aim is to have involvement and impact upon the formation of policies, regulations and legislation that defend the rights and requirements of the UK workforce.

The REC is also dedicated to maintaining and improving standards in recruitment and their code of practice sets the expectations for clients and candidates when they use an accredited REC Member such as Wellingtone.

In order to gain membership to the REC a Recruitment Agency first has to demonstrate that they have a proven track record in providing excellent recruitment services. We are pleased that our commitment to maintaining the highest standards has now been formalised through gaining the REC Membership.

Wellingtone remains dedicated to providing the highest standards for Project & Programme Management Recruitment.  As well as having corporate REC Membership all of our Recruitment Consultants come from project management backgrounds and possess recognised qualifications in the field i.e. APM, PRINCE2. Wellingtone are also proud APM Corporate Members.

Our Recruitment Consultants whilst having project management knowledge themselves are also backed with the extensive knowledge of our Project Management Consultants and Project Management Trainers.  This is particularly useful when conducting candidate competency based assessments and methodology assessments as part of the recruitment process.

Candidates can be confident that when they speak to one of our recruitments experts, that they are speaking to someone who understands project management and the profession which will undoubtedly result in a better experience.

Clients can too be confident that as a Recruitment Agency we will save you time and effort by gaining a full understanding of the role and candidate requirements.  We have a proven track record in providing quality and not quantity and on average 2 out of every 3 of our candidates are invited to interview.

So how do we source candidates?

• We publish all roles on our website, which has a traffic ranking in the top 7.97% of all websites [Alexa]

• We conduct an extensive search on our large database of high quality candidates

• We have access to a number of the leading job boards and provide FREE online advertising

• We have an exclusive partnership with Project Manager Day Magazine (the leading independent magazine for project management professionals) and can provide you with FREE co-branded full colour job adverts saving you up to £1750!

So how do we conduct candidate selection and find you the right person?

• Stage 1: Initial Telephone Interview
o We call all candidates who apply for the advertised roles or those who have been shorlisted from our database to assess whether or not they fit the high-level criteria, if successful they progress on to stage 2.

• Stage 2: Second Stage Interview
o Conducted by a Senior Recruitment Consultant, this interview focuses on matching the candidate to client expectations, assessing skill, experience and attitude/character. If successful they progress on to stage 3.

• Stage 3: Detailed Competency Assessment
o Conducted by a Project Management Consultant this technical interview will confirm the candidate’s technical knowledge of any client required criteria such as PRINCE2 and MSP.

The candidate selection process outlined above is something that generic recruitment agencies are often unable to provide as it requires significant project management expertise.
