Executive Recruitment in Chester, North Wales and the North West
You didn’t go into business to become a recruitment expert. We did.
Whether you’re a company of 10 or 1,000, the secret to building a great business is hiring great people. Kirsty Craig Associates is a boutique recruitment company in Chester, bringing over 50 years of recruiting expertise to your organisation.
Whatever your sector, and whatever role you’re looking to fill, we’re here to find the right person to help grow your business, from executive roles and middle management right up to board level and CEO.
We’re proud to do things differently — and proud of our exceptional 90% success rate.
We have the skills and processes to help you recruit successfully, saving you time that you can better spend in and on your business.
Right people. Right place. Right time.
At Kirsty Craig Associates, we’re not interested in filling a quota or churning CVs. We’re interested in finding the right people for the right roles to help your business thrive and grow!
We believe that the ‘fit’ is everything…it’s not just about the skills and experience being right for your business – personality and values on both sides are just as important.
Because recruiting the wrong person will cost your business an estimated 350% of their salary.
And on average, only 54% of new hires are successful — the other 46% fail within the first 18 months.
We don’t like those odds. We spend time getting to know your business, what makes it tick so that we recruit more intelligently.
Kirsty Craig Associates brings to your business the expertise it needs to make the right hires.
“It was the amount of time that Kirsty spent getting to know the business and how we work that made the recruitment process so successful.”Russell Fairbrother | Appreciate Group PLC
