My focus is simple…I give clients the results they want.

How?

With many years experience in recruitment as well as marketing, I gain a deeper understanding of clients’ requirements.  This dual experience also enables me to make more accurate assessments of candidates’ marketing abilities.  As a result, I produce more relevant and higher quality short-lists; clients hire better marketers.

My experience?  I’ve been specialising in recruiting marketers for 0ver 20 years.   Prior to this I worked in marketing for many years with major household brand names in FMCG, tourism, QSR and advertising.

Consequently, feedback from clients tells me that this dual experience combines to produce much better results than they’ve had from other recruiters.

What I offer clients;

• Above all, an experienced and trusted marketing recruitment professional with a solid “real-world” marketing pedigree.
• Someone who’s willing to get to know your business; objectives, culture and people – and keen to establish a long term partnership.
• A recruitment consultant who has the right networks and the tenacity to find the right people.  As a result, it’s about knowing the best people in the market, not just who’s on the market.
• A specialist search and recruitment  consultancy with a track record of success over many years..
• Efficiency, flexibility and responsive.
• Trustworthiness, professionalism, honesty and ethics.
• Giving top priority to each recruitment assignment and maintaining open communication and agreed time-lines.
• Competitive fees and terms.
• Confirming every agreement in writing.

Ownership

The consultancy is owned and operated by Philip Brown.  Philip is an ex marketer turned specialist recruiter with extensive networks.  He’s a “one man band” –  and  handling Sydney and national roles with an excellent placement record over 20 years.

Philip has a relaxed, easy-going style, he’s a good listener, has a sense of humour, strong ethics and he cares.  Working for himself, Philip keeps the number of recruitment assignments at any one time to a sensible limit.  As a result, working with fewer clients at any point in time means better results all round.

Services include both specialist search and standard recruiting for permanent, short term or contract executives…marketing and sales. As stated above, the focus is simple…giving clients the results they want.  (Please download a one page Profile document.)

The process with clients

• Consult closely with clients to really understand their business and their objectives for the role.  The brief should ideally include input from the hiring manager – special challenges or projects the new hire will need to tackle within the next year or two.
  
• Develop target lists to identify suitable candidates in the passive and active markets.
• Online advertising to complement network search.
• Detailed interview assessments with selected candidates – assess the “fit” as well as candidate interest in the role and company.
  
• Development of the short-list, preparing reports and presentation to the client.
• Arrangement of client/candidate interviews and follow-up assessments.
• Conducting detailed reference checking of candidates and arranging any testing if required.
• Negotiating an offer and managing the candidate’s expectations and acceptance.
• Finally, conduct regular periodic follow-up with clients and candidates after the placement.
