Due to the nature of the public sector and budget constraints, I primarily place contractors within councils and local authorities. My network of candidates spans the entire ecosystem of Planning Professionals, from Policy, Development Management, and, Enforcement. Responding to my clients' needs and the expectations of councils and the public, I also specialise in hiring professionals with expertise in Sustainability, Ecology and Biodiversity Net Gain.How My Approach Generates Results:Operating in a candidate-short market, made more challenging by competitive private sector remuneration and public sector funding limitations, my approach is candidate and relationship-led. This strategy ensures highly successful outcomes for my clients.What Does Candidate and Relationship-Led Mean?Unlike traditional recruitment firms that work transactionally, I invest in building relationships. I understand where my candidates have delivered, for whom, and how they contributed individually. This enables me to quickly engage with candidates from my passive and active networks who have demonstrated successful delivery under my clients' specified conditions. Many of these skilled and reliable contractors are not actively seeking work or listed on job boards, making my approach crucial to securing their interest. By the time of the interview, there is no ambiguity about the role, environment, or expectations, turning the interview into a mere formality and saving my clients’ valuable time. Once placed, my candidates leverage their proven skill sets to make an immediate and positive impact, further strengthening relationships on both sides.This approach allows me to manage multiple jobs across various locations without compromising on outcomes for my clients. It also facilitates cross-market pollination and referrals, supporting my clients' future hiring needs.If you are facing recruitment challenges or are tired of transactional approaches that yield poor-quality candidates, please reach out. I would be happy to discuss my process in more detail and explain how it delivers value for my existing clients.jack@varnomross.co.uk07545079629www.varnomross.com
