Duval Associates Ltd - Permanent Recruitment Specialists

About the Company

Why Duval? A little about us... Just a bunch of people with a genuine desire to do recruitment properly. Let's be honest, recruitment isn't rocket science, but it is about people and that's where most agencies fall down. Duval was built on the idea of connecting people, understanding needs, opportunities and drivers and helping clients build happy, successful teams. It really is that simple. HERE, THERE and EVERYWHERE From Lands' End to John O'Groats, East Coast to West, we've recruited everywhere. We've been all over in the last 20 years and we're continually expanding our reach. With hotspots across the UK, USA and Australia, we can support with searches far and wide. FANTASTICALLY FLEXIBLE We're not talking about our founder, although Iain is partial to a spot of yoga from time to time ;) Whatever your size or shape we specialise in tailored agreements to suit your budget and the safety net that makes sense for your business! Let's design a rebate period that fits you and your vacancies. Just ask! UNCOMPLICATED COMMUNICATION Work with us and you'll get a dedicated, high quality account manager and open communication. With two experienced recruiters allocated to your vacancy requirement, we deliver exceptional continuity and service - even if we do say so ourselves. We're available almost all hours with account managers set up to react remotely, via email and phone. We constantly monitor your requirement and the market and keep you in the loop at all times! THE EXTRA MILE This is where we really excel. Creative and dynamic advertising to make you looks fabulous! A unique understanding of how every major job board works to allow us to penetrate reactive and proactive talent. Of course we can give you all the usual candidates that fit your role but we're extremely resourceful and creative when it comes to finding the unicorns and absolute belters that perhaps aren't as obvious to every other recruiter out there but could be a better fit for your business.
