3 Why us? At SDW Recruitment we are proud to be different. We certainly do not operate a call centre environment, or are of the Wolf of Wall Street ilk. There are no ridiculous sales targets for our consultants to meet or bells to ring when we make a placement. Our focus is solely on delivering you a first-class, quality service, within your budget. One of the core principles of SDW, and one of the main reasons we are trusted by so many companies as their preferred recruitment partner, is that SDW has been built on the opposite of all that is not quite right within the recruitment industry. None of the team are from a recruitment agency background, and although many in our industry talk loosely about values, we live and breathe them in everything we do & every interaction we have. They are: transparency, always acting in the best interest of our clients & candidates, exceptional service and always looking for a better way of doing things, plus of course a passion for all things shipping & logistics, bordering on geeky. We genuinely love making a difference to people s lives and helping companies expand & grow. We really do provide a fresh approach to the recruit process. At SDW, we are so confident in our ability to identify the right fit for your company & role in terms of both experience & team fit, that we are prepared to put our money where our mouth is with our 100% rebate guarantee for clients utilising our full recruitment service. 94% of our candidates that we place are still in the role after 12 months

4 Our Full Recruitment Service Utilising our full recruitment services, allows you to outsource the whole recruitment process to the shipping & freight industry experts. In this very candidate short market, it is vital that you use an established specialist recruiter who is well respected within the industry who has a good reputation and who you can trust. Your dedicated consultant will take a full brief from you, so we fully understand the role, your company culture and the ideal team fit. We will then go to work, utilising our large database of active & passive candidates. We will also fully advertise the role on our very own optimised & popular website sdwrec.co.uk, reed.co.uk, CV Library and aggregators such as Indeed, to ensure that your vacancy gains full exposure. We also have a very strong network, in which many of our candidates are referred to us or use SDW exclusively as we have been highly recommended to them. We are often asked to recruit on a confidential basis, for commercially or internally sensitive roles. For many roles we are able to provide you with an instant shortlist of up to 5 candidates that meet your requirements. Our full recruitment service is very consultative, in which we meet candidates (location permitting) to fully understand their experience & motivators. We manage the full process from gaining feedback, addressing any concerns, salary negotiations, managing the resignation process and advising why they should not accept a counter offer plus lots more. With our full recruitment service we ask for a 450 commitment fee payable upfront, the remainder of our fee is then not payable until we successfully source & place a candidate with you and they commence employment. You are then fully covered by our 100% Rebate Guarantee.

6 erecruit (Advertising Solution) Why advertise online? Today s job seekers are actively looking for a new role using online job boards & social media networking sites. Recent Surveys from recruitment industry experts show that over 85% of active candidates are searching & applying for jobs online, with 74% of all online job related searches starting in Google. Statistics show that 80% of all successful placements in the UK comes from Job Boards fact. However, that said, the strongest candidates are the least committed to finding a new job and are only searching online for about 10 to 15 minutes, so you need to be advertising your vacancy in the right place, your advert needs to be fully optimised so it appears at the top of the job listings (ideally the top), you need to sell your company & the opportunity, ensure there is a clear call to action and above all you need to respond to all applicants, even the not so good ones so it s not as easy as just writing a couple of sentences, and posting it on a job board that you ve chosen at random. This is where our unique & innovative solution comes in SDW erecruit. Our erecruit advertising campaigns run for 28 days now 6 weeks and costs 750 per vacancy, and not per the number of candidates hired. This is reduced to 700 if you are one of our subscription customers.
