Transparency: We enable our clients to participate

in the recruitment process as passively or actively

as they would like. Transparency is key in creating

clients’ visions for their company; therefore, clients

can track progress of the recruitment life cycle

effortlessly.

DIVERSITYAt the forefront of our brand, is our commitment to inclusion and diversity.

Our teams uphold these values right here in our office, by ensuring each member

of our staff feels liberated. They can express their views and preferences freely and

respectfully without the fear of being judged.

We partner with The Big Issue Foundation to enable financial inclusion through

digital transformation, supporting a programme to have more vendors using

payment portals rather than carrying cash, which is a safety threat to those working

on the streets.

We have played an active role in promoting diversity in the national workplace,

partnering with STEMettes, who encourage females to enter the science, technology,

engineering and math industries. This helps to promote skills growth at a grass-roots

level and to actively participate in techUK diversity programmes.

We collaborate with Edit Development, which holds discussions about millennial

workforce. They also provide leadership and diversity training at all levels and have

trained our sales force on unconscious bias. This partnership is never more evident

than at the London Tech Week show, which takes place every year in June.

We also work with Kaleidoscope, an inspirational recruitment company that offers

youth internships and company start-up advice and capital. Together, we invest in

the future and the promise of youth.

Did you know…?

“DiversityJobs.co.uk applauds the direction Salt has taken in terms of their

approach to diversity. It’s refreshing to work with an agency that sees the

opportunity to widen their appeal to a broader social spectrum and is raising the

topic to their clients rather than waiting to be asked. The recruitment industry needs

more businesses like Salt who see diversity as an asset, rather than a liability that

has to be dealt with.” - Morgan Lobb, CEO and Founder of DiversityJobs.co.uk

WHY SALT?Any industry that has witnessed radical change and

significant growth requires the services of specialised

teams. Most of our consultants are industry natives and

have prior contacts and experience working within a

specific vertical niche market.

We also provide constant updates and advice on

market trends, salary benchmarks, and competitor

analysis to inform your business development. You will

only collaborate with experts who truly understand

the often highly technical requirements of the roles in

question - our specialist experience allows you to see

better candidates faster.

Ability to deliverOur successful track record of placements across the

UK and Europe is illustrated by our client portfolio, and

testimonials from global brands.

We cast a deep net across both active and passive

candidate markets to reach the market of applicants,

particularly within the upper-quartile talent group. With

a team of global consultants proactively headhunting

hundreds of off-market candidates each week, we give

you the power to meet those game changers who will

deliver a strategic advantage, when you need it most.

We use both unique and traditional approaches to

discover leaders of excellence within niche sectors.

Our online methods include online advertising and

searching, social media networking and online

headhunting. More traditionally our charismatic

consultants harness our brand to attract industry

experts and off-market candidates for potential roles at

professional social networking events, trade shows and

industry association events.

We work with companies within a wide range of

industries, from travel companies to financial service

businesses. We also handle the accounts of companies

with multiple branches. So whether you need a sales

manager in Birmingham or a UX developer in Russia,

we are the one stop solution to handle assignments in

multiple locations.

CREATIVECreative brilliance can be hard to identify and even harder to harness: at Salt we can spot the creative spark that will fire up your business.

Traditionally, the greatest creative talent has always gravitated towards agency

businesses, but today some excellent creative minds can also be found within large

brands and consultancies. We allow you to reach far and wide for the best creative

talent. We don’t just limit our search to LinkedIn and job boards; we invest time and

energy into other artistic platforms that reveal creative ingenuity.

If you are looking for a professional with a creative flair to illuminate your brand’s

potential or you require the fulfilment of an unexpectedly vacated role, call us for our

insights and ability to deliver on demand.

Filling highly technical roles, demands deep market knowledge: at Salt we understand the talent you need and the technology they use.

Unlike other recruitment agencies, we take the time to ensure candidates are tested

on their applicable technical skills, using our partnership with Hackerank (bespoke

technical testing) before CVs are considered, ensuring that only honourable

candidates are recognised, saving everyone time.

OUR SERVICES

Services

RetainedRetained recruitment is better known as ‘headhunting’.

This approach is typically needed for high level, niche

or confidential roles with in-demand candidates - who

are not usually searching for new jobs. Our extensive

professional networks allow us to reach the leading

lights in any digital sphere. So our clients can pinpoint

the ideal candidate.

Permanent This offering responds quickly to changes within your

business, filling individual roles as they emerge due to

team expansion or staff departures. Our consultants

dealing with this service are masters of efficiency and

speed.

ContractWhether you need a contractor who can start work

immediately, or an interim solution, Salt’s contract

services are ideal, as we won’t let the absence of

personnel affect your bottom line.

Digital Recruitment Outsourcing (DRO)We provide a unique and cost-effective solution for

small to large scale transformations by appointing

seasoned Account Managers to handle the process,

through on-site team liaison, hiring strategies, advisory

services and delivery, while being mindful of corporate

culture and values.

Project servicesOur teams have been working with system integrators,

consultancies, agencies and brands for more than a

decade to provide contract and permanent solutions.

We have placed entire project teams on major digital

transformations for Tier-1 retailers, banks, telcos,

government bodies, as well as Programme Leads and

interim CIOs for management consultancies, tasked

with large-scale digital programmes.


Our recruitment events bring together old-fashioned high touch engagement with leading edge social media, advertising and headhunting. We can help your company launch or highlight a new business area to the relevant market space. We build trust and encourage curiosity, while providing insight and gaining commitment from even passive candidates.

RECRUITING THROUGH EVENTS

Why host an event with Salt?We are experienced at hosting several successful events, such as Big Data

Networking with SAS, a launch for Tesco Mobile London Office and several breakfast

roundtables, such as our pragrammatic breakfast at the Hospital Club. Prestigious

events like these, offer an opportunity to directly interact with industry leaders of

the digital sector and attract off-market candidates, who may otherwise not consider

seeking out new job opportunities.

Together, we can create an experiential campaign to create high impact branding

as a low cost marketing solution. You will also be able to grasp the opportunity to

network with peers, at our collaborated events.

Why have an event?

• Launch or highlight a new business area to the relevant market space.

• Opportunity to directly market your company to targeted, influential

members of the sector.

• Attract passive candidates.

• Increase diversity and help fulfil equal opportunities responsibilities.

• Peer-to-peer networking.

• High impact, low cost marketing solution.

• Strong branding opportunity.

• Ability to collect significant insight into the digital market’s view / opinion of

your company.

Case: Tesco MobileWe partnered with Tesco at their new London offices, aiming to attract mobile

developers. Several senior mobile, product and HR professionals from Tesco held

talks about their new office, life at Tesco and the future of mobile. Out of the 30

top mobile developers, who were sourced to attend this exclusive launch, 10 were

identified as suitable for their hiring needs. Our strategically executed events will

certainly deliver results.
