Our Service
Specialist focus
Our consultants work within a specific field and offer in-depth sector and recruitment knowledge. Focusing solely on one sector ensures we are able to provide the best candidates that fully match our clients’ requirements.
Global scale
Darwin Park works with clients on a global basis. Our established and long-term relationships work across borders and enable organisations with an international remit to source the best talent for their business.
Intensive relocation screening
This unique screening process ensures that candidates are fully prepared and committed to an international move. This process has been so successful that we have never had a candidate relocate and then leave the position within two years.
Radar
Darwin Park Radar is the product of proactive intelligence gathering, driven by our specialist consultants who constantly map our clients’ future project plans and mirror them with bespoke talent pools reducing the time taken to hire scarce candidates.
Our unique Radar methodology enables us to give our clients an overview of trends in the marketplace. We track candidate scarcity and current and future client demand for candidates, which enables us to:
• Predict candidate flows and hiring timescales
• Understand salary and cost pressures in the market
• Filter the best candidates quicker than our competitors
Reducing time-to-hire
Our aim is to deliver the best candidate, quickly. 65% of the permanent candidates we place are sourced via contingent headhunting, which ensures we are constantly building our network of ‘in-demand’ candidates. By remaining in regular contact with these professionals, we are able to deliver a candidate short-list within tight timeframes. We meet our clients upfront to improve our knowledge of their requirements, and interview candidates to assess their key motivations. This understanding ensures we match the right people with the right job, adding real benefit to the recruitment cycle, including reducing the time you spend interviewing. Additionally, it results in a 90% offer-to-acceptance ratio, compared to the industry norm of 60%.
We value your feedback
By listening to and acting upon your comments and feedback, we continue to improve. Our consultants are appraised on customer satisfaction as well as revenue contribution which means they are focused on delivering a service to please you. At the end of each hiring project we recommend a face-to-face client service review, which allows you to rate our performance during the recruitment process. The feedback we receive has led to a number of improvements to our processes and offering.
Specialist focus
Darwin Park’s service is ideal for candidates wishing to work with a specialist rather than a generalist recruiter. Our highly-trained consultants possess in-depth specialist sector knowledge, so you can be sure that we will not waste your time sending you to interview for unsuitable jobs. Darwin Park’s reputation in the market ensures we can find you a range of challenging roles that will enhance your career. In fact, 75% of our contractors are offered contract extensions past their initial finish date.
Career progression
We are not just ‘filling a gap’; we’re working with you to progress your career. Our global client-list enables us to offer a diverse range of opportunities for skilled professionals wishing to develop their experience. You are important to us; we will represent you accurately and work on your behalf to negotiate the best overall solution.
Preparation is the key
Sending an ill-prepared candidate to an interview is a waste of time for both the candidate and the interviewer and is something Darwin Park would never allow to happen. We take time to understand your career aspirations and competency set to ensure we find you a role within an organisation that is your best match. Stringent briefing before the interview increases your success in the process.
