The Service

In consultation with Avon’s HR Partner our expert HSE Recruitment Consultants were able to take a comprehensive brief of the position and understand the type of person that Avon were looking for.

We work closely with our clients to fully understand the business culture, the responsibilities of the role and the level of expertise being sought.  These are all vital to inform the recruitment search and ensure that we are able to find exactly the right person to match our client’s needs.

After an extensive database and SHEQ network search, we presented a cherry picked selection of the top professionals within the field to Avon.  From the shortlist one particular candidate shone out and was taken forward to second interview and offered the job!

All correspondence and final negotiations were undertaken by Allen & York and both client and candidate were delighted.
