Our Values - What makes Lawson Recruitment different

• We never underestimate the importance of spending as much time as possible in taking the brief, understanding the role, the business culture and the right chemistry - to work well, the selection process must always be backed by a full appreciation of the client’s needs.

• Lawson Recruitment has a comprehensive, systematic and unusual approach to Search, and our admirable record using this service is a testament to original and thorough research.

• We produce distinctive, attractive and effective adverts.

• Salary level does not dictate one or other recruitment methodology (or increasingly a combination) we endorse; we are guided by the person specification.

• The business does not simply use database searches nor permanently hold candidates’ CVs.  We believe genuinely that clients should not have to just choose between candidates who failed from earlier assignments or those who have speculatively sent us their CVs.  Of course, occasionally, strong candidates are appointed through such routes though it is often just through luck - even then a client cannot always be certain a professional selection process would not have yielded even better prospects.

• Our focus and success is based on our experience and expertise in Search and Selection. This, of course, differs from agencies with just functional or sector specialisations.

• For our clients commitments made to them on cost and time are of paramount importance.  Our fee is clearly set at the beginning of the assignment and remains fixed, regardless of the salary paid.  Similarly shortlist timing is agreed at the beginning of our work and we will do everything in our power to keep to that commitment.

• Our success is based on long client relationships reflecting our ability to understand widely varying client needs and on the high volume of work involved in seeing more candidates and spending more time with them than many in-house recruiters could usually afford.
