Bringing Honesty and Quality to Recruitment ‘Bespoke, Tailored, Honest Recruitment.’ It’s a powerful mantra to commit to, and Tessa at Masson Appointments Ltd is an independent recruiter with the quality and integrity to uphold those values. She is an expert at finding the right person for the job, no matter the industry and no matter the needs of the company. Since their inception in 2003, Masson Appointments has made it their goal to understand the needs, environment, team dynamic and company culture of businesses that they work with. They use their understanding of the company structure to find the best, most motivated candidates who will be a true asset to the business. Some recruiters take an indelicate, shotgun approach and seek out as many candidates as possible to present to their client, hoping that one of them will make the grade. Masson Appointments is much more scrupulous. They create a shortlist of just two to four candidates to present per vacancy. As a recruiter, they hold themselves to the highest standards possible. All potential recruits are interviewed by the founder, Tessa Masson, personally. With over 20 years in the industry, she has the skills and experience needed to uncover the qualities in an applicant and perfectly align them to a company’s needs. In fact, Tessa has even successfully recruited a number of highly discreet individuals to work in a Royal household in London, so there is no doubting the calibre that she seeks out. Masson Appointments support clients from a broad spectrum of industries, able to draw on their wide experience to highlight the key characteristics, skills and talent needed to build a happy and thriving team. Many of their clients have been working with Masson Appointments for years, sticking with the recruiter due to their high level of client care and the quality of candidate matches. Of course, there are two sides to every employment story. For a candidate, Tessa is the perfect person to help them find a new role. She takes time to get to know each candidate on a personal and professional level, so that she can help match their skills, values, aspirations and personality to the perfect role and placement. And, as one of the most frustrating aggravations following unsuccessful interviews is lack of feedback or information from the interviewer, Tessa gives feedback to all her candidates. Furthermore, she keeps in contact with newly appointed recruits to make sure that their new roles are living up to expectations. 2020 has been an unprecedented year for the way we live and work. Many companies are, unfortunately, having to review their business models, and this means restructuring and facing the realities of redundancies. Handling redundancies is not a well-practised skill. It’s a difficult path for any manager to navigate. As of 2020, Masson Appointments have begun an outplacement service which alleviates the anxiety and difficulty around employees facing redundancy. Masson Appointments works with employees preparing to leave their position and puts them on good footing to head out on the job hunt and secure a new role as quickly as possible. They help with CV reviews, job applications, interview skills and job market guidance. They also work through exit interviews, help with mediation and act as an unbiased support for both parties. Overall, their efforts can help to boost morale and motivation, and make the stressful process that much smoother. With many years of experience and a responsible and caring outlook, Tessa Masson is a fantastic recruiter that any business would be lucky to have on their side.
