Recruitment
Finding the right talent requires a structured, end-to-end recruitment approach that ensures alignment with both the technical and cultural requirements of the business. FvT Consulting offers flexible recruitment solutions designed to support businesses in securing qualified, competent, and best-fit candidates across various roles. As part of our process, we also facilitate background and reference checks to support informed hiring decisions and reduce employment risk.
Organisations can choose between a traditional placement model or a non-traditional hourly-based model, depending on internal hiring needs, resource availability, and budgeting strategy.
Traditional Recruitment Model
This model offers a full-spectrum recruitment solution on a placement-fee basis, including a three-month guarantee on successful placements. It is well-suited to businesses requiring a start-to-finish service with minimal internal time investment.
The process typically includes:
- A vacancy debrief to understand role requirements
- Advertising and active sourcing on professional platforms
- Screening, interviewing, and shortlisting
- Reference and background checks
- Optional psychometric assessments
The guarantee structure provides additional confidence in the appointment of new employees, supported by our HR expertise and understanding of operational fit.
Non-Traditional Recruitment Model
Our non-traditional model is designed to offer flexibility and cost control. Recruitment services are charged at an hourly rate, allowing organisations to manage time and budget allocation per vacancy.
This model is ideal for businesses with internal HR capacity that require selective external support, for example, only for sourcing, screening, or background checks. A reduced introduction fee is payable upon successful placement of a referred candidate, without a placement guarantee.
This option provides professional support while accommodating leaner recruitment budgets or tailored in-house processes.
Recruitment Process Support
Regardless of the model selected, FvT Consulting’s recruitment support can include:
- Drafting and placing job adverts
- Active and passive candidate sourcing
- Conducting structured interviews (remote or in-person)
- Verifying qualifications, criminal and credit records, and work permits
- Providing structured shortlists and interview feedback
- Administering psychometric assessments where required
Each step is handled by experienced HR professionals, not sales-driven recruiters, ensuring that the recruitment process remains aligned with broader people strategies.
Background and Reference checks
As part of our recruitment services, FvT Consulting facilitates comprehensive background and reference checks, either as part of a full recruitment process or as a standalone service.
We personally conduct professional reference checks by contacting former employers or supervisors to gain insights into a candidate’s past performance, conduct, and overall suitability. These conversations are structured and handled by our experienced consultants to ensure relevance and consistency.
Where required, we also coordinate the following formal background verifications via accredited third-party providers:
- Criminal record checks
- Credit checks (where legally permissible and relevant to the role)
- Qualification and education verifications
- Work permit and right-to-work checks
- Employment history verifications
All checks are carried out in compliance with applicable legislation and data protection requirements. This service supports risk mitigation, particularly for high-trust or regulated roles, and is especially valuable to organisations without internal capacity to perform such verifications independently.
