Executive Stand-By company profile

Executive Stand-By


LogoESB was established to specialise in the provision of experienced executives and specialist staff on an interim or short-term contract basis. This service provides the majority of our work and can be for either full or part time employment. Based on our close relationships with some of our clients, we have also expanded our service to include permanent recruitment. Whichever method of employment is selected, our objective is to deliver a responsive, quality service to our clients; based on proven systems and a low overhead operation at a competitive fee rate. Our clients range from large UK- based multi-nationals to smaller local companies, operating in a wide variety of industries. They include smoke stack and hi-tech, chemicals and banking, oil & gas and manufacturing as well as educational and not- for -profit organisations. Our assignments are mostly in the UK but also include work overseas. The job functions and positions are even more varied than the companies we serve. They range from sales to production management, from technical engineer to managing director, from customer service to accounting and finance.

Mission Statement:


How We Operate

ESB maintains extensive computerised databases of proven individuals who are interested in either permanent jobs or interim assignments. Our system can efficiently cross index industry sectors and employment experience so that we can rapidly identify the people who match a client's specific requirements. This rapid analysis means the relevant CVs can be on a client's desk within a day or two of receipt of the enquiry.

In urgent situations, we can fax or e-mail details the same day.

Potential applicants are carefully screened before adding them to our database - we only include those who have proven capability in their field of expertise. We will normally check on two references prior to recommending them to clients as well as ensuring that they are currently available for the assignment in question plus checking references or qualifications

For interim / contract assignments, we work with the client to develop a suitable job specification and salary parameters.  We then contact potentially suitable candidates and discuss the assignment with them.  From this we prepare a short list for interview by the client and arrange the interviews. Once the client has selected a candidate, the individual concerned is employed by ESB and seconded to the client at whichever location is required for the duration of the assignment. The terms of employment are set wholly by the client -duties, rate of pay, hours and place of work etc.

ESB then does all the necessary administration. We prepare the contract of employment and pay the agreed salaries, including PAYE and NIC. We carry out all relevant taxation reporting and even reimburse approved expenses if necessary. Any future amendments to the original terms and conditions of employment, change of hours, pay rate location etc. are also handled by us. We simply submit a monthly invoice covering our disbursements and fee.

For permanent jobs, we will advise on the job specification and salary package as appropriate and agree a sourcing strategy. We will discuss the assignment with suitable candidates and prepare a short list for client interview. Once the client has selected an ESB candidate, we will assist as required with any final negotiations on terms and salary. Once our candidate has started, we will then invoice the client at our agreed fee. We work strictly on a payment by results basis. Unless otherwise agreed, no fee is charged without a satisfactory appointment being made.

I have been employed by Executive Standby for nearly 2 years now. They are an exceptional recruitment company and I would definitely recommend them to jobseekers. Since the beginning of my employ, they have been extremely helpful and supportive and they are one of the better companies I have dealt with over the years!
