elite has made a firm commitment to providing a quality service not only to their valued clients but also to their valued candidates and temporary workers. In July 1999, six months ahead of initial expectations, they were awarded the ISO 9002 accreditation, and to prove their continuing commitment, in October 2004 have enhanced their Quality Management System by achieving ISO 9001 : 2000.

Testing and Training Facilities

To evaluate applicants elite uses QWIZ – the very latest testing and training software. Where necessary, they carry out tests specifically requested by the client. QWIZ can also be used to enhance user ability on any particular system. In addition to this, elite’s informal, yet professional training suite can be utilised by clients for their own permanent staff who need to enhance or upgrade their skills at a fraction of the current market rates.

Our main differntials

elite firmly believe in total commitment to their clients and candidates, building a relationship and earning and maintaining trust and respect. They pride themselves on consistency towards both. Their approach is informal, yet professional.

They believe that there are four major differentials in their approach:

• Industry Experience

  The consultants at elite have over fifteen years of industry experience
  Research shows that top-level recruitment consultants remain in very short supply. However, having worked in the West Yorkshire area for a number of years, elite has developed an extensive portfolio of clients ranging from small local companies to multi-national organisations.

• Candidate Referral

   Although elite does advertise via various mediums, the main source of their candidate flow is through direct referral. The current recommendation rate is 80%

• A ‘Consultative’ Approach

   elite aims to share the same common values as its clients and to use the same language instead of ‘high street agency talk’. The intention is to use extensive knowledge gained within the recruitment industry to compliment that of its’ clients. elite will offer an honest and down to earth approach.

• Expertise in the Placement of Permanent and Contract Staff

  Deborah and Gemma have over 17 years of expertise in this field, across a broad range of industries.

Economy and Market

The existing employment market remains buoyant and more active than it has been for many years. Additionally, clients are becoming more selective with regard to the calibre of candidates and are also intent on dealing with reputable and stable agencies. Preferably smaller agencies that provide a personal, tailor made service. In turn, high quality applicants are becoming more knowledgeable, and will source only reliable agencies.
