Client Service

From a client’s perspective, at Shilton Sharpe Quarry we believe our role has a much wider remit than the mere introduction of CVs.  We believe in finding the right people for the right role.  Matching a candidate with a role from a cultural and personal perspective,  as well as from a skills perspective, is much more likely to result in long term success.

By pioneering the use of psychometric assessments SSQ can provide detailed additional commentary on potential candidates. Psychometric assessments assist our clients to make informed recruitment decisions. We provide them free of charge as part of our core service.


Candidate Service

SSQ offers a positive and unique recruitment experience for candidates built on two guiding principles: transparency and quality.

With our candidate extranet, Nelly, we believe we have removed as much uncertainty as possible from the recruitment process. We have nothing to hide and everything to share. Our candidates are offered secure access to their own files 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, using the latest secure extranet technology.

Effective recruitment means understanding that to find the right job for a candidate one needs to look further than just identifying that person's appropriate skills and experience. For a candidate to flourish in a role, recruiters must also identify culturally how a candidate will perform in a specific environment. We provide psychometric assessments free of charge as part of our service. These assessments are optional. A psychometric assessment is not a test - it is just an effective tool to complement the factual due diligence one must undertake prior to making an important career decision.

Some of our executive candidates may feel that they present better in person than on paper.  A written CV may only tell half the story and employers are unable to interview all candidates due to time pressure. That is why, with the use of our own dedicated video studio, we have pioneered the use of video CVs in the legal market.
