Serious about talent.

Why choose Gravitas for your permanent hiring

We are proud to work differently than other permanent recruitment agencies, through our friendly, proactive, and transparent approach. What makes us different?

As niche specialists, our consultants only specialise in one specific area of IT or insurance. This allows them to become subject-matter experts, able to advise and share insights with their partnering clients.
We balance speed of service with quality. By focusing on a specific area in IT and insurance, our consultants build and maintain valuable relationships with professionals across the market. We quickly reach quality talent, that other agencies might not have access to, often working to represent candidates on an exclusive basis.

Permanent recruitment process

Our recruitment process is transparency and clear, helping to manage your expectations. We combine our process with regular communication to keep your candidates engaged, while providing you with regular updates on hiring progress. What can you expect? Our process can include:

Kick-off meeting

We start the process off with a meeting (in-person or video call) to clarify the position and your expectations. If you don’t have a job description, we can help create one with a consultation meeting, asking in-depth questions about the role.

Market insights

We have multiple layers of understanding across the market. This includes candidate availability, competitiveness, salary market expectations, employment conditions and career prospects. Using this knowledge, we assess your role and expectations.

Culture match

Company culture is important in attracting and selecting the right type of candidate that suits your company’s environment. We ask questions to uncover what makes your organisation special and enjoyable for an employee.

Customised solution

As market experts, our consultants are highly knowledgeable in their field, and can devise suitable hiring solutions. They may advise on what makes a role stand out in the market. We then approach the market to find candidates through different avenues, such as social platforms, job boards, databases, and adverts.

Check shortlist

Following pre-screening calls or meetings, we put together a suitable list of candidates with relevant skills, experience and motivations that fit the presented position and your organisation’s culture.

Arrange job interviews

We take diary management out of your hands, as our consultants arrange the most suitable time to interview and prepare each candidate beforehand. Post-interview, we know the importance of feedback. We provide your feedback to all candidates and gain their feedback to how they felt during their interview. As a result, we make sure everyone has a positive experience that they can benefit from – enhancing your brand reputation.

Negotiate salary and conditions

We offer assistance in managing salary and package expectations with potential candidates, so in the event of an offer, both you and the candidate are satisfied with the outcome.
