The Gabby1 Brochure - an overview of Client and Candidate Services provided by Gabby1 Specialist Recruitment Consultancy. Permanent and Contract Employment Solutions to the Construction, Engineering, Energy and IT&C Sectors in London and the UK

1. Winter Edition 2011/2012 Gabby1 Recruitment is the culmination of a pool
of talent: It is the next step in the evolution of the
recruitment process. Established in direct response to
the increasing demand from industry for a truly
professional, dedicated and committed provider of
quality services, Gabby1 was specifically created to
address the actual needs of the client and to lead the way
in developing and constantly improving the standard of
service offered by the recruitment consultancy sector.
Gabby1 provides Permanent, Interim and Contract
recruitment to the following major sectors:
G Construction
G Engineering, Renewable Energy
and Manufacturing
G IT and Telecommunications
G Retail
The recruitment industry in the UK and Europe
is a growing and competitive one. The need for
outsourced recruitment has become so necessary that
in far too many instances the services provided are
profoundly lacking in the key elements that the client
fundamentally requires. Gabby1 is committed to
relentlessly refining the service to which both the
client AND the candidate is entitled and which are, in
our opinion, a precondition to an all encompassing
and fully comprehensive Recruitment
Consultancy Package.
Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, Gabby1
has instead re-evaluated, fine-tuned and advanced
the recruitment process. Try as we might to make it
sound more complicated than it is or to portray the
services we provide as anything other than
straightforward, the fact is recruitment, if managed
professionally and diligently, is an outsourced
mechanism designed specifically to save the client time
and money. No amount of colours, bells and whistles
will change that. A twenty page brochure or
scientifically proven analytical terminology can never
substitute for a personal and professional hands-on
service. Whilst we do indeed employ various tools to
vet and score our candidates, ultimately the success
that Gabby1 enjoys comes about as a result of the way
in which we interact with the client and the candidate,
adhere to our proven philosophy and live up to our
guarantees, reputation and ethos.
Importantly though, Gabby1 provides so much
more to both the client AND the candidate…

4. G Our underlying aim always is to find the RIGHT candidate for the RIGHT
The Process job at the RIGHT company. To achieve this we devote a great deal of time,
effort, expense and experience.
G Through our agreed network of 82 offices nationwide, we can accommodate
candidate interviews at locations close to most clients.
G A step-by-step, jargon-free, proven and efficient recruitment procedure – full
accountability and regular progress updates are guaranteed to the client
during each stage of the placement process.
G Whilst the process is an established formula, it is impossible to sacrifice time
without compromising quality. Therefore, no Gabby1 consultant works on
more than three projects simultaneously. This ensures sufficient attention is
always paid to each client through to successful contract completion.
G In providing to all our clients a fully transparent and comprehensive package
of exceptionally high quality, Gabby1 offers a quantifiable and measurable
service that is becoming a benchmark in the recruitment industry by which
our competition define themselves. We lead, they follow, you benefit.
G Anyone applying to be accepted onto the Gabby1 Candidate database needs
first to provide all the relevant documentation before being considered for an
interview with one of our consultants. A client will NEVER be referred a
candidate that has not been fully vetted, tested and interviewed by us first.
G Our attention is focused very much on our client’s staff retention levels. The
candidates we provide and the positions we fill are done so with a long-term
objective. Therefore, any candidate you receive from us will possess the
highest possible score in relation to relevant competency and be fully qualified
for the role as per the client specification. Further, unless we are confident that
the candidate and client match in terms of “values” and “attitude” we simply
will not put him or her forward for the position.
G Gabby1 is so confident in its abilities to optimise candidate suitability that we
offer all our clients a guarantee in the form of an extended rebate period!
(Up to 16 weeks for clients who possess a Gabby1 Platinum Reward Card*)
As a company in need of staff (either contract or permanent) you will know that
outsourcing your recruitment is economical, effective and efficient. You will also
know that there are costs attached to using such a service. Those costs should be
affordable. However, those costs also need to reflect the service you receive. In
our experience, there are essentially two levels of service available to any
customer from any provider – a cheap, quick fix that gets the job done, but
requires constant amendment, repair or replacement; or a fairly priced one that
gives you what you want, when you need it, has added benefits and which lasts.
Gabby1 is a bespoke provider of quality, long-lasting and individualised
