Our core business model is to find the right people for the right job. However, to achieve this, our success is driven from a deep understanding of what it will take to get there in the first place.
From benchmarking and salary surveys, providing market advice and guidance within candidate short sectors, creating effective engagement and onboarding models to interviewing techniques and process management we’re often in from the beginning, helping them to shape, plan and guide.
We’re immersed in the communities that surround us, often called on to share our knowledge, opinion and guidance. This has led to being embraced as industry partners by the likes of TechSPARK, Bristol Media, Business Marketing Club and Invest Bristol and Bath.
We provided salary bandings plus information about motivations for moving and skills that are in demand, leading to the placement of 3 Cloud Data Engineers including a lead after approving salaries and agency budget.
"ADLIB scour the market for high quality candidates and does a really good job of selling Moneyhub to them. Candidates come into our hiring process excited and motivated by our roles, which often makes the hiring process a really pleasurable experience for them and for us."
Using a combination of contingency and search-based recruitment, combined with our niche experience within the microbiome and genome engineering space, we helped them secure highly skilled Scientists and Laboratory talent for their "Science Creates" site in Bristol, from a Senior Scientist, QC Scientist, Senior Research Scientist, to multiple Support Scientists and a Fermentation Scientist requirement.
Acting as an extension of the LabGenius team, we ensured that candidates met both the cultural and technical requirements to succeed. We successfully placed a range of talent, for niche Protein Characterisation, Protein Production, High-throughput screening, Cell Biologists to Assistant Laboratory Managers, Laboratory Technicians and People Managers, as well as IT and Software Engineers, Engineering Managers and Delivery Managers.
The Head of Data Engineering needed this team built fast, so we agreed to keep open lines of communication and for 24-hour CV turnaround and suggested streamlining the process as much as possible due to the nature of such a competitive talent market.
As a trusted recruitment partner, ADLIB worked closely with us to successfully hire a VOD Content and Channel Manager. We appreciated ADLIB taking the time to meet with the role holder to help source candidates - with the right transferable skills, and to fully understand the role requirements for this maternity cover position.
Leveraging our scientific background and deep understanding of the company’s goals, we conducted targeted headhunting efforts to identify top-tier, niche talent. We successfully placed a high-caliber scientific team within the required timeframe, helping Epitopea build a strong foundation for future growth. We continue to support their hiring needs as the company expands.
"We look for a type of character above anything else when hiring for our business. We call it the vvast way and the team at ADLIB really get that and seem to be able to see through candidates that look good on paper but don’t match the criteria to fit our unique culture. We just need solid, straight-talking people that adore good brands and the innovative work needed to leverage that. Having a solid partner that gets us in this way alleviates one of the challenges as we grow."
“Since joining Create Health, I’ve had a clear vision of what I want to build. ADLIB have invested the time to truly understand this, meaning the permanent and freelance candidates they send through are always spot on. This not only makes the process easier and more enjoyable, it saves a lot of time.”
Once the data environment was configured, the 3 Engineers shared responsibility for CI/CD and deployment, gaining valuable MLOps skills that they had not used in production before.
In 2019, ADLIB joined a growing global community of B Corps. From the outset, this was our starting point to evolve, a framework that would sharpen our focus and hold us accountable to building a business that truly balanced profit and purpose. In 2020 ADLIB became the world’s first 100% employee-owned B Corp recruitment business globally. In 2023 we received a recertification score of 130.3. An immensely proud moment in ADLIB history.
We’re committed to creating working environments that are inclusive, empowering and respectful. We invest time and resources into civic engagement activities.
