Our Recruitment Industry client base is extremely diverse; from Top-tier Executive Search Houses, Search Boutiques, Search and Selection Firms, Boutique Agencies to Larger Multi-National Agencies.  All have specific current requirements but are also happy to be introduced to interesting candidates on a purely opportunistic basis,  relying on our ability to accurately summise the style of business which will suit the particular individual.

Trainee and Graduate Division

Focusing on finding the next generation of Recruiters and Search Consultants.

A robust sourcing model involves screening a huge number of applicants looking for their first step into the industry.  An initial telephone interview is followed up by an intensive face-to-face interview and then a preparation and training session run by one of the experienced consultants.  This ensures that only the very best candidates are introduced to our clients and that the candidate understands why they are interviewing for the particular type of recruitment business, the sector they will be focusing on and the potential long-term career available to them within the organisation.

As with the rest of the divisions of The Ocean Partnership the clients vary across all sorts of Recruitment business; from Top-tier Executive Search Houses, Search Boutiques, Search and Selection Firms, Boutique Agencies to Larger Multi-National Agencies. 

The significant difference between the Trainee and Graduate Division and the other divisions is that the sectors and industries of the clients varies across the entire spectrum. This allows anyone wanting to become a recruiter to focus on any given sector or function which is of most interest to them.

The Ocean Partnership also handles mergers and acquisitions between Recruitment & Search Organisations. We are uniquely placed in our markets to strategically advise and broker negotiations between interested parties. Call for a confidential discussion with one of our directors.
