Our unique recruitment partnership approach
How we work in partnership with UK manufacturers to recruit leadership, key operational and technical staff
What
Morgan Gray secures the best available talent for your key hires. Our business is centred around developing long-term and value-led partnerships with manufacturing businesses in our core markets.
Who
We work with manufacturing organisations who want to secure the right people to help them achieve their business goals – and who can invest the time needed to achieve the most from a recruitment process.
How
We listen to your criteria for each position, so we fully understand your organisational structure and its unique challenges. We then draw on our experience to find candidates who match, and often exceed, your requirements.
How Morgan Gray adds value
We’re about so much more than just hiring the right people to fill specific roles at the right time…
Increased Hiring Scope
As our understanding and relationship develops, our capability increases, and we build our ability to support your business through managing your recruitment in almost any professional or technical discipline.
Future Talent Mapping
We can conduct regular searches for the talent you may need for future development. Not only can this provide you with useful market intelligence, it also promotes hiring confidence, and can result in faster recruiting cycles when you need new people.
Profile Matching
We take the time to learn about your company culture, so we can ensure candidates not only possess the right skills and experience, but also have the attitudes and behaviours critical for your business success.
Employer Branding
We work with you to build compelling employer narratives that engage the right potential candidates. Our aim is to capture their imagination, provide excellent customer service, and transform them into active applicants for your vacancies.
Market Insight
We can also keep you updated with valuable market data, including on competition for local talent, specific industry hiring trends, and salary & benefits to help inform your recruitment decisions.
Service models
Permanent
Our core service model is permanent hiring for mid to senior level talent across the majority of roles within manufacturing organisations.
Contract
We have access to, and long-standing relationships with, professional contractors and interims across our core business sectors. We operate within a fully compliant model that supports working both inside and outside of IR35, as well as including detailed Statements of Work.
Retained
Retained Search is a successful model for both client and recruiter. It’s low risk, involving a flexible two-part payment model comprising a commencement fee followed by the balance when the candidate starts. The process can be tailored to the assignment, and enables us to maximise our collective resource to solve the particular recruitment challenge.
