When adverts stop working, we start searching!
SearchLite
The challenge
Most organisations rely on advertising to attract candidates, but advertisements only reach people actively looking for work.
​
What about the other half of the talent market - the experienced professionals who aren’t scrolling job boards, but would consider the right opportunity?
​
That’s where SearchLite comes in.
What is SearchLite?
SearchLite is our collaborative, behind-the-scenes search service that works alongside your existing recruitment process - not instead of it.
​
While you manage your advertised recruitment activity, we focus on identifying and engaging passive candidates: the people who aren’t applying but are open to a conversation about the right role.
​
It’s proactive. It’s strategic. And it completes your recruitment reach.
Why use SearchLite?
Most internal recruitment teams are excellent at managing advertising response, but rarely have the time, tools, or reach to conduct a proactive search.
​
SearchLite gives you an expert search partner who extends your reach and boosts candidate quality - without adding complexity.
Ideal for:
​
-
Hard-to-fill or specialist roles
-
Regional or remote locations
-
Government or council recruitment, where discretion and brand integrity are vital
-
Roles where advertising alone isn’t delivering
How it works
1. Briefing & Alignment
We align with your job ad and position description, and if needed, meet with the hiring manager to understand the role context, challenges, and priorities.
2. Collaborative Search
Acting as an extension of your recruitment team, we discreetly approach suitable candidates through LinkedIn, industry networks, and our proprietary TalentNow! database built over 30+ years.
3. Passive Market Engagement
We connect with qualified professionals, present your opportunity incognito, and assess fit: location, motivation, and salary alignment, before introducing them to you.
4. Candidate Introduction
Once candidate interest is confirmed, we provide you with their original CV and LinkedIn profile – this introduces them into your recruitment process.
You can shortlist, interview, or add them to your applicant pool immediately.
If we double up with someone who has already applied - no problem. It simply means your reach is complete.
5. Weekly Updates
You’ll receive concise weekly reports on progress, market insights, and engagement outcomes - keeping you informed, without adding admin.
