“Abacus have been using the recruit and selection service provided by BMS Performance for our Regional Sales staff requirements for more than 2 years.
It’s important for me as HR Manager to trust a recruiter to understand our business model and processes prior to any search taking place. This enables the account manager to select the correct caliber of candidates prior to submitting cv’s to us, ultimately saving my time to concentrate on my day job.
During the recruitment process, BMS give me updates on progress of any candidates they have in the pipeline and are happy to take and work on my feedback on any cv’s presented to me.
Abacus have had several placements provided by BMS in the last two years, all of which are still in employment with us. Our account manager continues to check on the progress of all placements even after their probation period has ended. That is service over and above expectation and more than I have had from some other well-known service providers.
With our most recent role, we knew it would be a difficult role to fill as we have a complex, technical product to sell and local talent is hard to come by. Our account manager at BMS offered a retainer service to enable them to utilise all resources at their disposal on our behalf. I was reticent at the beginning from some past bad experiences, but BMS continued to provide candidates and increase their search criteria even when I thought the ideal person wasn’t out there and was ready to forgo our deposit. Thank goodness we listened to their advice on one candidate in particular as BMS had found ‘the one’.
I couldn’t ask for a more understanding, open and honest account management team for our sales recruitment needs.”
