Recruit Engage Retain THE ONE GROUP is a people

Recruit. Engage. Retain. THE ONE GROUP is a people solutions business. We provide specialist recruitment services and help organisations drive business performance improvement through their people. We have offices in Peterborough and Cambridge. We won’t just find anyone. We’ll find THE ONE. Finding the one means going a lot further than landing a pile of CVs on your desk. It’s what makes THE ONE GROUP different. We cover both permanent and temporary vacancies, each area with its own team of consultants. Our consultants We invest in attracting and keeping the best consultants, and bring in people with relevant sector experience and local knowledge. Building relationships is important to us, maintaining them is crucial. That’s why you won’t get passed around but are assigned dedicated consultants who really get to know your business and provide the most tailored and focussed approach possible. Local knowledge We know that, for our clients, access to the best candidates is everything. One of our strengths is the quality of our database of job-seekers who are either based in the area or want to work in it. Often we are able to alert you when a particularly good candidate in your field is about to enter the job market. Our market understanding means that we are able to give you guidance on local salaries and candidate availability. Matching your criteria As a starting point we always make sure that we fully understand your brief and the needs of your business. We strive to meet every single person who registers with us, which means you can be sure that we really do know the candidates we put forward. To save you valuable time, we sift CVs carefully rather than making a dash to get the largest possible pile on your desk - even when the recruitment process needs to move quickly. At your service At THE ONE GROUP, we offer professional service with a personal touch. Attention to detail helps us get the best results for the businesses we work with. For example, we manage the candidate’s journey all the way through, from initial application through to the early days of the job itself. We keep in regular contact with candidates during their notice period, often up to three months, to make sure the recruitment process runs smoothly. We monitor the progress of, and often meet with, employees working on temporary contracts to make sure both parties are satisfied. ONE ACCOUNTANCY RECRUITMENT ONE ACCOUNTANCY RECRUITMENT is the new name for Sphere Financial Recruitment.

We’ve built our reputation by finding our clients high quality candidates at all levels. It’s not by accident.

ONE EXECUTIVE specialises in Senior Management and Board-level appointments. We provide interim and permanent solutions to our extensive client base which ranges from international corporations to recently-formed SMEs. In 2007, THE ONE GROUP commissioned an extensive programme of market research to ascertain EXACTLY what our clients wanted from each of our divisions. This included jobseekers in the executive market; the conclusions were really quite simple: Applicants Want: • A single point of contact with a Consultant who possesses the knowledge and expertise to appreciate ALL elements of what is required from their next career move. • • • • Regular contact from a Consultant who will provide advice on the status of the career search, market activity and expectation levels in line with current market intelligence. Thorough briefings on prospective roles, including a detailed appraisal of the vacancy AND company and how this fits with the parameters of the career search. Regular feedback at all stages of an application - positive AND negative. Value-adding interview preparation including details of the process and the individuals involved. Applicants DON”T Want: • Continually changing points of contact requiring constant updating. • • • • Inaccurate CV preparation and presentation Submission of a CV to role that has not been discussed or even previously presented. Being exposed to an interview with insufficient preparation, input, job specifications etc. Continual notification of vacancies that do not match the criteria of the job search -just because the salary is in the right bracket, it doesn't mean that the company and/or role is suitable! ONE EXECUTIVE Our Commitment As a local specialist we offer extensive knowledge and experience of the local business communities. Our Consultants have recruited across the region for over a decade and possess the understanding, credibility and maturity required to provide a genuine, informed service. Our whole model is based on this ethos of quality service and we offer the following, simple commitments: • • ONE EXECUTIVE will respond to ALL CVs submitted to advertised campaigns ONE EXECUTIVE will work in partnership with applicants to define specific, achievable criteria for the career search. Following this, roles will be discussed in detail and we will arrive at an agreement to apply for a vacancy BEFORE the CV is sent. Feedback will be provided at each stage of the process - whether the application is being progressed or not. ONE EXECUTIVE will not leave candidates unsure of whether they have been successful. ONE EXECUTIVE will offer a full interview-preparation meeting where we shall provide specific information of how your experience meets with the requirements of our client and areas that our client is likely to explore at interview. ONE EXECUTIVE promotes transparency at each stage of the application process. Our clients will be aware of salary/package expectations right from the stage that the CV is received to ensure that negotiations are not compromised at the conclusion of a process. • • • In summary, our network of contacts and relationships is intricate and complex. Our approach to recruitment-methodology and relationships with applicants however, is simple. We have listened to what our clients want and we continually strive to deliver against these expectations. ONE ENGAGE & RETAIN Management is about getting things done through people, but how many businesses spend more time re-engineering processes than on developing, motivating and engaging with their employees? At ONE ENGAGE & RETAIN, we believe passionately that there is a compelling connection between people feeling genuinely motivated and engaged in the workplace and the level of success that the business enjoys. Put simply, when employees are more engaged, they care more, perform better and your customers notice the difference. By generating increased profits as a result, the business reaps the rewards. What is employee engagement? Highly engaged people – at every level – are happier, more motivated, loyal and, as a consequence, deliver more for the business. By contrast, having disengaged employees can lead to creeping low morale, staff churn, reduced productivity, dissatisfied customers and falling profits. How do you achieve the first and avoid the second? We can help ONE ENGAGE & RETAIN’s services go much further than giving advice and recommendations: employing a hands-on, energetic and lively approach, our tailor-made programmes deliver tangible and measurable results, right down to your bottom line. We work with our clients to solve real business problems. Using innovative and proven techniques, we help companies develop leadership skills in their managers and improve team work and performance. We can help you manage change, launch new people-focussed initiatives, lift customer service and drive improvement in sales. ONE ENGAGE & RETAIN What we do • Measure employee engagement across your business • • • • Improve communication between managers and teams, between groups or across the whole business Leadership and management development Employee engagement workshops for managers Sales and customer experience improvement Our experience Richard Leech is Managing Partner of ONE ENGAGE & RETAIN.
