It is important that we get to know you, understand what motivates you and how you want your next job and career to develop. We guarantee a discreet, personal service and will never disclose your CV without your consent.

As well as being able to access the latest jobs, we are focused on ensuring you make the right choices when it comes to establishing and evaluating your employment opportunities. We provide career counselling to help you with these important decisions. We also provide mentoring and coaching services through our associated partners, who can support you on a professional basis.

OUR PROCESS

1. CV Review

The CV is your shop window and you have one chance to make the best first impression. Investing time to optimise your CV is vital to securing your next job in the business travel industry. We will critique your CV to ensure that the content accurately captures your qualifications, business travel experience and skills and ultimately reflects not only your competency for a specific job but also your personality.

2. Exploratory Meeting

We need to understand your business travel experience, technical competencies, achievements, salary expectations, ideal next job, career path and aspirations. We offer career advice if you are looking to change jobs or have longer-term goals. We need to get to know you, and you us. Without this relationship, we won’t have the mutual trust and confidence in each other.

3. Job Search Approach

We may have the perfect job for you at this time or, it may take time depending on your circumstances and career goals. We forge long-term relationships with our business travel clients by working to understand their commercial strategies. This means we can proactively approach them with high-calibre candidates from the business travel industry, even when there is no active recruitment taking place.

4. Interview Preparation

Interview preparation depends on the type of job and the predicted interview format. We provide coaching to ensure you are aware of the expected interview techniques and questions but also relevant company information, such as products, culture, team members etc. We support you throughout this process including presentation preparation and will get you as prepared as you can be to give you the best chance of success to secure the job.

5. Offer

Our philosophy is always to be honest and upfront. We understand your package expectations and our client’s budget. We share this with you including the finer details of the benefits package, notice period, probationary period, salary review, to avoid any misunderstandings later in the recruitment process. Transparency and clear expectations by both parties is the best positive start and our role as the recruitment company is to act as the broker.

6. Career Path Support

The business travel industry is a close-knit community and we are part of it. We have known many of the industry leaders for decades, we have evolved with them and have seen how their careers have developed. We regard relations with our candidates as life-long collaborations rather than short-term job fixes. Our aim is to provide guidance, mentoring and confidential support as your business travel career develops.
