Our Company

When imagination, insight and talent combine, the result is ACUMEN. The principals of Acumen Recruitment have a wealth of recruitment and general management experience and can add value and creativity to any recruitment exercise. We will work closely with you to deliver the most appropriate recruitment solution whether yours is a high volume start up project or a single key appointment.

Acumen Recruitment can work with you to recruit all levels from senior management to manual/clerical staff. We work with both start up and established businesses and our clients are in both the multinational and indigenous sectors.

Our strategy is to provide a high quality service to firms rather than to develop too large a client-base. This is based on our belief in remaining customer focused and in providing complete customer satisfaction.

Our Strategy

As a starting point for any recruitment assignment we recommend that a personal consultation with the client takes place, to gain a thorough understanding of the client organisation, its strategy, objectives and culture and to discuss the recruitment process and key deliverables.

Recruiting the right people is always difficult. Working with us will make the process much easier.

Project Management
We are expert in project managing volume recruitment activity. We are familiar with the time pressures and constraints of start up and expansion projects and we work closely with you to ensure that your campaign will be successful. We develop a clear understanding of your business in order to promote it successfully. We will give you the benefit of our expertise to ensure that business commitments are met and that the recruitment process is managed smoothly.

Contract Services
Many modern businesses need the facility of a flexible work force. People can be brought in specifically to work through exceptionally busy periods. High cost skills may be required on a short-term basis only. We can deliver these skills.

We can provide temporary staff ranging from manual/administrative level to senior professionals. We can also take responsibility for the management and administration of payroll services.

On Site Recruitment

During high volume recruitment activity it may make sense to base a recruiter or a team of recruiters on your site to administer, assess, interview and screen candidates in the most efficient way possible. In these projects we work as an extension to your human resources function and work with you to deliver within demanding time-scales. Testing and Evaluation

We can conduct a series of tests assessing skills and competencies appropriate to your recruitment requirements.
