How we collaborate with potential candidates
Our relationship with candidates is core to our business, and to the success of our clients. It is a relationship that we cherish.
Many of our candidates have gone on to become clients, and vice-versa, and the key to a mutually successful relationship is that we work together based on shared trust.
This means that we will communicate clearly, promptly, and confidentially with you. We will disclose fully, and sometimes this means we will ask you to enter a mutual NDA. We respect the time you invest in the process, and that the decision to take on a new role is one that will impact you and your family, and is therefore not to be taken lightly. Our objective is to ensure the optimum fit between client and candidate, and to deliver a sustainable outcome for both parties.
In return we ask for your commitment to the process, and for full disclosure. If we mutually agree that you should meet our client, both our reputations are at stake – our mutual trust and respect is therefore paramount.
Clearly, not every candidate can secure the role. At the very least, we hope your experience with us has been enjoyable, that you have gained valuable experience from it, and we will stay in touch for the remainder of your career.
Passionate – Dedicated – Professional
Case studies
TOCA Football is an established soccer technology business in the US, from where it delivers performance solutions to professional and amateur clubs worldwide. Spectrum was retained to search for a Head of Technology in a newly-created role which would report to the President Entertainment in the UK, and the Group CTO in the USA.
Our confidential client is a NYSE listed, pan European interconnection hub for leading enterprises. It serves 1600+ customers from 45 data centres in 13 cities. Interxion required a dual country search to take place in The Netherlands and in the UK to source a Vice President, Information & Communication Technology (ICT), who would report to the COO. The company’s Senior Vice President, Human Resources, based in Amsterdam, retained our Dutch colleagues at Glasford International, Avon Arrow, to manage the search.

Clients are often very nervous about sales recruitment. It is easy to understand why: • Sales performance is easy to measure, and therefore success - or failure - is very visible; • Sales is not a ‘profession’, and therefore candidates won’t possess a formal sales education as if they were a finance or legal professionals for example; • Sales models are changing, and therefore some sales methodologies are outdated; • Getting sales recruitment right is crucially important to a business, but so often it fails, which is why many candidates have numerous employers listed on their CV. However, there is an answer to successful sales recruitment.

What some candidates have said about Spectrum
Over my career, the two occasions I have dealt with Spectrum have been the most positive I can remember; even though neither resulted in a successful career move.
I have personally worked with Daniel Osmer who is very professional and has given me sound advice on career moves and placed me with a great fit, Block Solutions.
I want to echo my satisfaction in working with you: it’s been a pleasure working with you and I look forward to repeating this experience in the future! Of course, let’s keep in touch.
I very much valued my relationship with Daniel Osmer and the advice he gave throughout the process. He was open and honest and helpful in trying to read between the lines in terms of what the client wanted.
Thank you again, so much, for your inspired introduction. I am delighted to say that after a number of detailed discussions with the executive team, I have been offered the ‘Sales Director’ position and have accepted it!
