Finding the right person for your business.
The right appointment starts with understanding your business, not simply filling a vacancy.
How We Find the Right People for Your Business
The right appointment starts with understanding your business, not simply filling a vacancy. Our permanent recruitment process combines detailed knowledge of the automotive sector with a thorough understanding of your business, your requirements and the person you want to appoint.
1. Understanding the role
We begin by taking the time to understand the position, your business and the qualities that matter to you. Alongside the experience and qualifications required, we consider your culture, objectives and the environment in which the successful candidate will work.
This gives us a clear profile against which every candidate can be assessed.
2. Finding and assessing candidates
Our knowledge of the automotive market enables us to identify experienced professionals, including people who may not be actively looking for a new position.
Every candidate is carefully screened against the requirements of the role. We assess experience, qualifications, achievements, brand knowledge and career aspirations, as well as their suitability for your business.
We only recommend people we believe are genuinely suited to the position.
3. A focused shortlist
We believe a strong shortlist should be selective, not extensive.
We typically introduce up to three candidates who meet the agreed requirements and have the potential to make a meaningful contribution to your business. Each candidate is presented with a clear assessment of their experience, strengths and suitability for the role.
We then coordinate the interview process and ensure both you and the candidate are properly prepared.
4. Managing the offer
When you have identified your preferred candidate, we remain involved.
We manage the offer process, helping to address questions around remuneration, notice periods, references and counter-offers. Our role is to keep communication clear and help both parties reach the right decision with confidence.
The team at HCP Automotive always put the needs of the client and candidate first, they are highly-focussed with probably the best recruitment process I have encountered with any Agency.

5. Supporting the appointment
Our involvement does not end when the contract is signed.
During the first three months, we remain available to both client and candidate, offering practical support through onboarding and checking in to ensure the appointment is progressing as expected.
A considered process. A carefully assessed shortlist. The right person for the role.
