Dedicated consultants

We are committed to delivering a professional, personal and responsive service. Every client and candidate is allocated a dedicated consultant who has appropriate sector experience and knowledge.

Our approach ensures that candidates are properly prepared for each stage of the selection process, and means that we achieve demonstrable results for clients.

Meet the team

A supportive but rigorous process

We personally undertake interviews wherever in the world they may be to ensure the candidate not only has the technical skills but is also the best cultural fit. We assist with negotiations once an offer has been made and help to integrate the successful candidate into your organisation.

Legal and regulatory compliance are crucial: every candidate goes through a KYC process that involves verification of their passport or driving licence, residential details and examination certificates. Every candidate we put forward will have the legal right to live and work in their jurisdiction.

Working with candidates

Before candidates meet our clients, we work with them on interview technique and presentation skills to ensure they're well prepared and perform at their best.

Every company employs a different selection process, and we make sure we understand your preferred system and procedures. We support candidates throughout, maintaining a proactive approach to candidate preparation at every stage.

All of this work means that when you sit down to interview a Thomas & Dessain candidate, you know that you'll be gaining the insights you need to make an informed decision.
