FAQs & Preconceptions

How is a talent partner different to a recruitment agency?

CX squared is a talent partner that sits inside high-growth Tech companies acting as an extension to their marketing team and acting as the companies internal talent acquisition team. This is an innovative type of MSP / RPO solution, which has an extremely tailored service for each company we support. The service allows employers to focus their budgets on developing their product/service that favours the employer without the need to hire a full-time member of staff. They will be able to utilise the resources and talent consultants of CX Squared who can work on site or remotely whilst integrating all communications to improve efficiency and output.

We've had a bad experience of recruiters in the past, how can we trust you?

There are many reasons you can have a bad experience, but if we explain the process and what you are to expect, then those fears can be instantly lowered, by knowing the step-by-step process. We run an agile sourcing methodology so you know what to expect, week by week or day by day. As long as we know what your expectations are, we will realise them by being honest as to what is realistic and what is not, and by only saying yes, this is possible if it is genuinely achievable. Trust is built based on the service you expect to get and the time you expect to get it by.

Recruiters charge 30% and have unfavourable terms and conditions

Our biggest bug bear is when a client asks to see our terms. We explain what our service models are, so you know what you are getting for your money. And do you know what is even better, ALL of our costs are already on our website, broken down into bite sized service menus, so you know what you get for your money. Oh… and regarding rebate periods and payment terms, we are flexible and grown up, so just ask and if we can’t do something, we’ll talk you through why and see what is doable.

Recruiters are just a CV sending service

Well actually, no they are not. Community focused means we are constantly on the ground; at events, hosting initiatives and future planning. We do more than sit at our desk and search for CV’s on job boards. In fact, if you think that’s how you are going to find talent these days - by searching and posting a job advert, you are mistaken. You have to do more and be seen to be trusted, and this is why we are always out and about and working with the next-gen of tech and digital talent.

Why are your hiring processes and solutions so unique?

Because they are bespoke to our clients and candidates. Our processes are tailored to different needs because we understand that every business is different and they have to be bespoke to ensure every employer can get the best from what what we offer. Our In-House service allows fast growth employers to gain access to The Growth Network, which in turn will allow them to scale faster, with a clear hiring strategy and plan in place to support the other elements.
