Candidate Sourcing

Our clients ask us where we source candidates from. The answer is multifold. Obviously we advertise, but the majority of candidates are referred to us from placed candidates, clients and people in the industry we meet through networking.
Galaxy gives clients access to a pool of top candidates they normally would not be able to access if they advertised themselves:

• Many good candidates are not actively looking, yet contact us for general advice about the market, the industry and their careers. We talk to at least 20 candidates weekly in this category. At some stage they will be ready to make a move, and we are generally the first ones to facilitate their next career step.
• Candidates currently working in the recruitment industry are hesitant about contacting other recruitment companies directly; either out of fear their employer will find out, or because they feel they don't know enough about them to assess culture fit. They approach Galaxy to gain information about opportunities, the cultures of various competitors, salaries, etc, and have faith in us handling their next career step. Acting as our clients' "ambassadors" we can represent them in a positive light, enticing the best candidates in their direction.

Galaxy Service

Our philosophy is to provide our clients with innovative solutions through partnerships based on a deep understanding of their business and good continuity of service. The more we know about your company, the easier it is for us promote your company to potential candidates and to find the right person.  Talk to anyone who knows us and they will no doubt describe us as having a 'professional, no-nonsense, right-first-time approach.' We don’t send out a lot of CVs - only the ones we truly believe are a good fit. If we do not have the right calibre of candidate available, we will tell you so.
Your success is our success. Your talent pool is your most important asset and we are committed to providing the solutions that will reduce your staff turnover, increase your business and improve your bottom line. We genuinely want to be part of your success story.
