Our portfolio of recruitment services covers the full spectrum. Whether you wish to utilise our executive search facility, find out about assessment centres or are interested in exploring how psychometric testing could add value to your recruitment decisions, Channing Hammond has the expertise to help.

Executive Search:

  • At Channing Hammond we undertake research to identify suitable candidates from within and outside your sector. After making an initial confidential approach, we conduct structured telephone interviews with those candidates who express an interest in the opportunity. Having qualified candidate's CVs and undertaken the telephone interviews we can then either forward details to you or shortlist candidates to attend a face to face interview with Channing Hammond. Reports are produced, accompanied by interview notes on those candidates being put forward.

Selection:

  • Our menu based approach ensures that you get the recruitment services directly targeted to your requirements and budget. Clients can therefore choose a fully managed process whereby we manage all aspects of the recruitment process from start to completion or you can simply select or combine services from the following:
    • Advertising, search and compilation of briefing papers
    • On line response handling and administration
    • Short listing and initial interview of candidates
    • Assessment of candidates with full assessment reports
    • Supporting the final interview process

Assessment:

  • Our objective and independent assessment centres can be selected as a stand alone service to support your recruitment processes at all levels. In addition assessment centres can be very effective in helping to identify talent for succession planning, promotion and in supporting decision making processes during re-structures and mergers.

"The services we received from Channing Hammond were first class. Not only did they really make us think about the skills we needed in the new Housing and Neighbourhood Services Director but they followed that through in the assessments to test those skills. The whole recruitment process went really smoothly and to a very tight schedule that we set. The feedback given to unsuccessful candidates was both thorough and productive.

The individual attention received from a small company makes all the difference. You really felt that you were the most important client and that they could therefore accommodate your needs. The key to our success was that we got the right person for the job and each element of the assessment process supported that outcome. I would say use them and give it a go, it will definitely be value for money!"

SERVICES

"We have been very impressed with the quality of the professional advice and the personal service provided by Channing Hammond when they worked with us to recruit the new executive team of Affinity Sutton. We will definitely work with them on similar projects in the future."

Keith Exford, Group Chief Executive
Affinity Sutton

"Westlea and Oxford Citizen's Housing Associations decided to pursue a merger subject to shareholder and Housing Corporation approval. We wanted to appoint a new senior team designate early in the process.

Channing Hammond were commissioned, after a tender exercise, to provide advice and support to a Joint Appointment Panel to make the senior appointments. With strong senior teams in both organisations, we wanted to ensure the process was both fair and challenging.

The selection of Anna and Hilary proved to be well founded and they supported the appointments in an efficient and professional way. I was particularly impressed with the assessment process (which included business scenarios) and the advice at the interviews."
