While the events industry might seem vast with the amount of different sectors that fall under the events industry banner, the industry is incredibly tight-knit. Event professionals often work or collaborate together across multiple projects and events. And on top of this, industry networks are deep and vast. While this sense of community among the industry fosters strong relationships, it can also make job searching difficult and nerve-wracking. Candidates may worry about being seen looking for a new role by their current employer, while companies looking to fill confidential roles have to be highly discreet in their hiring processes.
At Apex Event Recruitment, we understand the importance of confidentiality, for both candidates and clients. It’s the basis we’ve built the agency on. Word travels fast within the events industry, so we ensure your privacy is our top priority. Here’s how we ensure a secure, seamless, and confidential job search process for all parties involved.
We’ve found that one of the biggest concerns candidates face when job searching is the fear of their current employer discovering that they’re on the hunt for a new role. This can make candidates hesitant to apply to roles with competitors or suppliers in case word gets back to their current employer. At Apex, every candidate has complete control over where their resume is sent to. We never share any resumes with clients without explicit permission from candidates. We also never blindly spec resumes to companies, as we value your privacy and don’t want to jeopardize your current role or any potential opportunities. Every step of the process is 100% transparent, ensuring that all candidates feel confident in exploring new opportunities without the fear of their current employer finding out until the candidate informs them themselves.
At Apex, we’re all about matching the right candidates with the right roles. This means we don’t just look at candidates' experience and skills; we take the time to understand our candidates long-term career goals and direction. Our goal is to connect candidates with roles that align with their ideal professional trajectory, not just short-term opportunities that aren’t the right fit for either party. We also receive detailed briefs from all clients to discover their ideal candidate and essential requirements for the role. By carefully matching candidates with the right role, we create successful placements that benefit both clients and candidates while maintaining confidentiality on both sides.
Discretion for Employers Filling Confidential Roles:
When hiring for a confidential role, you need a recruitment partner that understands the importance of discretion. Whether it’s quietly expanding the team or replacing a key position, we work closely with clients to ensure a seamless, confidential hiring process. Our approach, which is tailored to each client, ensures that only the most qualified and suitable candidates are shortlisted for the role and introduced. This not only maintains the confidentiality of your search, but also ensures that you only receive candidates that are interested and suitable for the role and company culture, saving time and money from reviewing applications yourself.
