Although employers have a wide range of methods available to them to attract new staff, there remains a large role to play for recruitment agencies to assist employers in attracting and recruiting key personnel for their organisation.

To successfully meet all of the employer’s requirements, agencies must develop a strong relationship with a client. In the past these ties were often solely based on cost. Today, however, employers are also seeking closer relationships with a recruitment agency based on a more consultative approach.

In addition to the proven ability and market knowledge of the agency, it is therefore important that the recruitment agents are mindful of the employer’s business objectives.

Boutique recruitment agency Affinity offers value-added recruitment solutions tailored to the individual client in a professional and cost effective way.

“We strive to develop a strong understanding of your business’s unique needs and build a long-term collaborative relationship which allows us to source the right candidate for your company,” says Affinity’s Founding Principal Michele Aubert.

Mrs. Aubert, who brings 20 years of experience in financial services and human resource management in the Cayman Islands, has developed an in-depth understanding of the Cayman marketplace and its immigration and labour laws. She is supported by a highly experienced team of recruitment specialists.

Affinity agents devise a thorough recruitment strategy by listening to their clients’ requirements and work diligently to find the best candidates for each position.

“We are firm believers that success in recruiting high calibre employees is achieved by applying a high standard and diligent recruitment process,” Mrs. Aubert says. As such recruitment requires a significant commitment of time and effort.

At Affinity all candidates have to complete a stringent screening process that includes assessments, multiple interviews and references to ensure they are suitably qualified and the best fit for the position.

Affinity’s service offering encompasses the full spectrum from advertising, candidate screening and testing, selection and contract negotiation to immigration processing.

Established in 2003, Affinity Recruitment specialises in the financial services and legal sectors, and recruits accountants, executive secretaries, administrative assistants, accounts assistants, IT professionals, corporate administrators, legal secretaries, bookkeepers, customer service representatives and IT helpdesk administrators.
