Recruitment Agency Policy

We realise that at the heart of our business are our people. We believe that getting the ‘right’ people for our roles is vital and ensures we sustain the high standards and expectations we have of our staff. It is essential that we build effective partnerships with agencies and recruiters, so that you can understand and help to support us in filling our roles. You will play an important role in finding us talented staff that can demonstrate our values on a daily basis. In order to build these partnerships, we invest the time it takes for you to understand our needs and culture. Please see our guidance notes below on how to work with us both now and in the future. 

Agencies that are not on our preferred supplier list

We kindly ask that all CVs or approaches from agencies DO NOT go directly to Partners or staff of the Firm, but are sent to the careers email box which is recruitment@mooreandsmalley.co.uk. As you can imagine we receive a high number of speculative CVs and approaches from agencies and our individual Partners and staff simply do not have the time to review this information. The function is also entirely managed by our Talent Acquisition Lead, and therefore any approaches from agencies will be highlighted directly to them. 

Additionally, emails that are sent to individuals directly are often filtered into junk email boxes and are not reviewed, or are not forwarded on to the correct individual. By emailing the careers inbox it ensures that the correct person sees the information and it can be processed effectively.

If we have not instructed you to work on a vacancy, please understand that any candidates you send to us will NOT be deemed to have been introduced to the Firm. This will then mean that your agency will NOT be able to claim that you were the original introducer should a candidate be later employed by us and therefore no fee will be payable at any time.
