Looking to recruit your next high flyer?
Recruitment is often measured by placements. We see it a little differently. For us, success is built on the relationships behind those placements. The businesses that trust us to act as an extension of their team. The candidates who trust us with decisions that can shape the next chapter of their career.
Trust, respect and market knowledge sit at the heart of every conversation we have. Without these traits, recruitment becomes transactional. With them, it becomes a genuine partnership. We’re incredibly fortunate to work with businesses and candidates across Hampshire, Dorset and London who continue to place that trust in us.
Whether you want permanent or contract people, we’ll be your go-to partner, not just another recruitment agency. We like to think outside the box, and by doing so, you end up with high performing teams and a great culture. A lot of agencies pitch their candidates as if they’re perfect in every way, when the reality is they’ll have different skills and experiences perhaps you haven’t considered, but that could potentially really work for you. We lead with honesty, rather than a sales pitch and that’s what our existing clients like about us and come back to us time and time again.
Getting to know all about your business
The personality of your business is one we’d like to get to know. It’s just as important, if not more so, than the vacancy you’re recruiting for. So we’d like to come and meet you to get a real feel for your company culture, the role and explore exactly the type of person you’re looking for. We think this is the only way to ensure the candidates we send you are the ones you’ll want to employ and who will fit into your business. We create a partnership and become the recruitment agency in Bournemouth that you can rely on, not just for your recruitment needs, but anything HR related.
How we find the right candidates for you
It all starts with us listening and understanding. We want to know everything about your ideal person. It helps us build a picture so we can send people who perfectly fit the profile in addition to putting out a great advert! We also want to know where the skill gaps in your business are, what’s worked previously, and what’s not worked. Personality fit is just as important as skill set. Skills can be trained, personality can’t be changed. Everyone who knocks on your door will have been thoroughly interviewed by us to ensure they’re a good fit for your role and business. Throughout, we’ll advise and give clear, honest feedback to both you and the candidate. And we’ll make the whole process stress-free and as easy as possible. We take on your feedback, and adapt our process and approach throughout. Look no further for Recruitment agencies Dorset – get in touch with Dovetail today.

Pricing
Here’s the part that keeps us afloat in business! Unless we’re working on a retainer, you won’t pay us a penny, or be invoiced, until your candidate has started on day one. Our business relies on doing what we said we would, finding the right person, not just any person.
Each role carries a fee, typically a percentage of the annual salary. We invoice on the candidate’s start date, not before. No upfront costs, no instruction fees, just delivery.
In some cases, if preferred, we can work on a fixed fee, depending on the role. There is a minimum fee in place for all our work, but we’ll discuss that with you upfront, and make sure it works for everyone.
For clients hiring regularly, we can also set up a retainer, usually a fixed quarterly fee covering an agreed number of roles. These are always tailored to what you actually need, not a one size fits all package.
Once sent, our invoice payment terms are generally 14 days from the date of invoice.
On the rare occasion that the candidate doesn’t work out, for whatever reason, we have a rebate schedule in place. This can be discussed further with us when we first start working together.
