Why recruit through TGR?



With our mixture of technical knowledge and traditional recruitment services, and the fact that as we have all been hiring managers in the past, we understand the position you are in now, and most importantly we can help you find the skills that you require!

Our business and areas of expertise:

TGR was set up in 2002 by Danny Kelley (Ex-Telecoms Director and 15 years in the IT and Telecoms field) and Caroline Vaughan (Ex-Blue chip head-hunter and 8 years in the Recruitment field).

The reason that Danny and Caroline decided to move into the recruitment arena is that during his career at Genesys, Avaya, Alcatel and Siemens, he hired around 60 people and found that he had no faith in most of the Recruitment Agencies that he had to use. With a couple of exceptions, they did not seem to know the technicalities of the positions that Danny was looking for, nor did they try to understand his company’s business or even employ consultants who had hands on experience within the technical sector.

They discussed this lack of agencies with both Technical and Recruitment know how, that didn't charge you the Earth, and they decided to create an agency that employed people who had extensive experience in the areas that they targeted.
With Caroline’s Recruitment knowledge, they have been able to merge their technical staff who are all from either IT, Telecoms or technical Sales and Marketing backgrounds, into excellent technical recruitment consultants, who in turn provide a consultative service to our Clients.

Our approach to finding A-class candidates:

We aim to provide you with a proactive rather than reactive recruitment process. Rather than just advertising your position and waiting for the right CV to fall into our lap, we actively seek out the perfect candidate

Of course our first port of call is to our extensive database of highly skilled candidates which we have cultivated.

Should we not be able to find the right person there, we are firm believers in not waiting for the right candidates to find us. As such we have undertaken contracts with some of the biggest Job and CV boards in the UK, including Monster, Jobsite, Jobserve and The Hotonline Group. This allows us to proactively search for the right candidate for you whilst also allowing us comprehensive advertising coverage. In this way we believe that we can find the best and freshest talent out there.
Once we have identified the right candidate, we then proceed to a rigorous selection process which includes an initial telephone interview followed by a face to face interview. Should the client wish, we can also submit a technical test in order to ascertain the candidates’ suitability for the role.

The best terms on which we would be able to help you:

We offer a 15% percent first placement fee to any new clients which we take on, an offer which of course we would be pleased to extend to you.

Thereafter our standard terms as stated in our Terms and Conditions are set at 20%.
