For Employers
A partner in your corner, not a CV-sender in your inbox.
There is no shortage of recruitment agencies willing to take your job brief and send you a pile of CVs. AR Recruitment does not work that way. We take a small number of employer relationships seriously, and we treat every search as if the outcome matters, because in social care, it does.
A children's home without a registered manager cannot operate at its best. A care home with the wrong team leader affects every resident on that floor. We understand the weight of these decisions, and we carry it with you.
How AR works with employers
Four steps, taken seriously.
The Brief
We begin with a proper conversation, not a form. We want to understand the home, the culture, the team dynamic, and what the right person actually looks like beyond the job description. This takes time. It is worth it.
The Search
We do not post and wait. We monitor over 1,300 job boards daily, maintain an active network of sector professionals, and conduct targeted outreach to candidates who are not actively looking but who may be exactly right. Most of the best hires were not on Indeed this morning.
The Shortlist
You receive a shortlist of people we have already spoken to, already assessed, and already believe are worth your time. Every candidate is presented with context, not just a CV, but a clear reason why we think they fit.
The Partnership
Placing the right person is the beginning, not the end. We follow up. We check in. We want to know it has worked, and if anything is not right, we want to hear it first.
Our model
You pay nothing unless we place.
AR Recruitment operates on a contingency basis. There are no upfront fees, no retainers, and no obligation to use us exclusively, although clients who work with us openly and regularly tend to see the best results.
