Working at Marmion

A Personalised Approach to Recruitment

We understand that when taking on a new employee or for a candidate committing to a new role, it is, for both parties, a big decision, which is why we treat each new role as a new beginning, meaning that each campaign is fresh and highly personalised.

Whilst we embrace and invest in technology to support our backend processes, it cannot replace a Recruitment Consultant who has the knowledge and skill needed to read between the lines of a CV which determines whether the CV matches the person who has made the application and if they are a likely candidate for the role they have applied for.

At Marmion, we know that by removing the personal connection between the recruitment consultant and applicant in the very early stages, there is a risk that we might exclude the best candidate for the job. The same can be said for the employer.

We are not a 'database search agency' because we do not register everyone. Only those we have actually interviewed are placed on record, and then only with their permission. There is no advantage of tempting people by poorly advertised roles and false promises and then loading them into the database.

In a candidate driven market they are only 'live' for a short while, so disrupting them later when they are settling into a new role, is not in our opinion great practice. If we do not take personal responsibility to understand the business, the line manager and the main purpose of the role, we cannot create effective campaigns to attract relevant and great applicants.

At Marmion, we explain every role we think you are right for in detail.

We are aware that many 'Recruiters' no longer meet their candidates, and that this has become an accepted practice. We do not believe this is enough. When making a career change it is a life change, so it is important we create a relationship built on mutual trust and respect so that we can ensure we do what's right for you, your career, and your personal life. A quick call will not achieve that.

At Marmion, we explain every role we think you are right for in detail. We will have met your potential employer beforehand, learnt about their working environment, and only presented the business to you if we feel they are the right fit for you too. That way, if you are ready to make a decision on an offer, it is an informed one.

You can also rest assured that the way we treat that information is always confidential. Your profile is personal, meaning not only is it unique to you, but that we will never present it to a potential employer without your express permission. That way, you can be completely confident in our processes, practices, and commitment to working with you in your best interests.
