How We Work
The primary goal of our account management & strategy recruitment services is finding the right cultural fit for teams and building lasting relationships with the people and places we work with. This allows us to contribute to vibrant, productive, and inclusive workplaces where good people thrive.
We strive to offer flexible account management & strategy recruitment services, offering both retained and contingent recruitment modes to suit your unique requirements.
Account management & strategy recruitment in retained mode:
- You’ll collaborate exclusively with The People Place for specific roles, and we’ll dedicate our resources and time to finding the best candidates.
- With a guarantee in place, we’ll provide flexibility to adjust the timeline and prioritise placements as needed.
- We’ll invest significant time to understand your needs, company culture, and role requirements, resulting in higher-quality candidates.
- Concentrating in-depth on a single role reduces staff turnover, improves retention, and streamlines the recruitment process from start to finish.
- You’ll pay a fee at the start of the search, securing our commitment to finding the right candidate, with custom arrangements negotiable.
Account management & strategy recruitment in contingent mode:
- Multiple recruiters or agencies frequently compete to fill a single job opening, raising the risk of duplicated efforts and candidate confusion.
- You’ll pay a fee only if our candidate is successfully placed, ensuring value-based billing.
- Rapid turnaround times required for contingent roles can result in a less thorough screening process, potentially compromising candidate quality.
- Top candidates might be contacted by several recruiters simultaneously, creating a cluttered and overwhelming experience.
- The fast-paced nature of contingent recruitment can dilute your brand, potentially giving an impression of urgency or desperation.
While we recommend retained mode for the best results, we’d love to accommodate your unique account management & strategy recruitment needs. Find out more about how a partnership with our lead creative recruiter, Nic, works.

Candidate sourcing
We’ll tap into our extensive network, industry connections, and multiple channels to source top candidates. This includes targeted advertising and executive searches to find the best fit.
06
Negotiation
We’ll assist in the negotiation process, helping to finalise offers, salary packages, and other employment terms. Our aim is to ensure a fair and transparent process that meets the needs of both parties.
03
Interview and screening
We’ll conduct thorough interviews and rigorous screening processes to evaluate candidates both professionally and personally, ensuring only the most suitable people are presented.
