We have engaged Adaptive Resourcing on a number of occasions to assist with talent acquisition and will continue to do so predominantly due to the flexibility of the business model.

In a rapidly changing work environment, we are often faced with situations where our plans alter mid-stream and require a different approach.  

Adaptive has shown the agility and professionalism required to adopt different ways of working, think outside of the box and manage candidate expectations throughout this process.

The model provides us with a cost-effective and high standard of service and their values are closely aligned with those of our University.

We have worked with Adaptive on a number of occasions and on each occasion, the approach and outcome have been tailored to exactly what our needs have been, based on our business size and structure at the time and the needs of the positions we were looking to fill.

We are asked what we want and need to achieve, and are given the options of how this can be achieved.

This is with clear and transparent explanation as to the timeframes and costs involved to achieve the outcome.

Using a traditional agency, I find they will push almost any candidate sometimes just so they can fill a position and get the placement fee. However, with your payment structure, I know that if Adaptive suggests a candidate it's for genuine reasons, not just simply to get a fee. 

I would say your difference, from my perspective, lies in Adaptive’s systems and structures reflecting a genuine desire to find the best candidate for a job, regardless of barriers.

With Adaptive, I would reach out in circumstances where I need a more strategic, external and independent thought as input into what we can be doing better, different, smarter etc.

Adaptive assist in reaching out to the normally “unreachable” candidates. 

You are well networked, wanting to align the right resource fit but if not the right fit, really candid about why. 

The experience doesn’t leave you feeling you are being “sold to” or trying to make a buck at all costs. 

Adaptive sit in the office next to you, work with you, provide market expertise and are happy to meet your changing organisational demands to get the best outcome.

Adaptive is like having an in-house recruitment agency but the return on investment is much higher. 

You get their market expertise, your branding and a candidate database that you own and can use in the future.

You helped us define more clearly the ‘critical essence’ (read competency/ies) of the job and person specification that ensures we source what we are really looking for.

It’s the bespoke approach rather than the churn.

For me your insightful querying, critical eye and deft challenging make us sit back and think through the critical gap/s, not be buried in the maelstrom of operations and trying to progress things so quickly.

We engaged the services of Adaptive following a referral introduction.

At first I was bit skeptical, as it wasn't the normal recruiting process but the team took the time to understand our needs, provide specialist advice and point us in the right direction.

The process was easy, they presented opportunities and candidates that we hadn't even considered and when we got stuck they digged further down other avenues to find the right person.

I loved that we weren't just presented a bunch of people or resumes to consider. Everyone that was presented was screened thoroughly.

We have found working with Adaptive to be a stand-out experience.  Highly personal and bespoke and nothing like what we have experienced in the past working with the “typical” agencies.  

The approach that Adaptive use is also one of common sense and involves deep research to literally “go hunting” to find the right people, based on knowing what we, as the client, are looking for and expect in our candidates.

I have had the opportunity to work with Adaptive a number of times and felt that you took the time to really listen to what we needed and also challenged on why it was right. 

There was complete transparency in the processes and you made it easy for me.
