We pay attention to their adaptability, communication style, teamwork approach, and alignment with the client’s corporate values.

e. Feedback Loop: We maintain a feedback loop between clients and candidates to ensure that cultural fit is considered throughout the recruitment process. We seek feedback from both parties, facilitating open communication and enabling adjustments if needed.

f. Candidate Briefing: Prior to introducing candidates to our clients, we provide them with a detailed understanding of the client’s corporate culture, values, and work environment. This ensures that candidates have a clear understanding of the organisation's expectations and can assess their own fit.

By employing these measures, Angle strives to ensure a strong cultural fit between candidates and employers. Our aim is to facilitate long-term, and successful partnerships where both parties can thrive in an environment that aligns with their values and promotes shared goals.
