Trusting Your Recruiter: Why Due Diligence Matters – A Note from Jo-Ann Robinson, Director at EmployMe Solutions

Hello from the team at EmployMe Solutions!

When it comes to recruiting, we get it—your business needs people who aren’t just a “good enough” fit but the right fit. You need candidates who will align with your values, enhance your culture, and most importantly—be ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work. But, let’s be real for a second. Sometimes, it feels like recruiting is less about finding the perfect match and more about just plugging the hole. We’re here to tell you, that’s not our style. And frankly, it’s not your style either, or you wouldn’t be reading this blog.



As the Director of EmployMe Solutions, I’ve seen all kinds of candidates come and go through our doors. Some are ready to jump into the deep end, and others… well, let’s say they’d rather test the water first. But here's the thing—it's our job to ensure that, before we even think about recommending someone, we know them like we know our own dog (or hamster—yes, I said hamster). We take the time to understand who they are, what makes them tick, and whether their aspirations match your company's vision.


Sure, we could just send over resumes that look technically like a good fit—but we won’t do that to you. At EmployMe Solutions, we vet candidates thoroughly, not just on skills and experience but on personality, values, and that all-important “vibe.” We’re not just matching resumes to job descriptions; we’re matching people to businesses where they’ll truly thrive.


Let’s face it—hiring someone based solely on their qualifications is like inviting someone to your dinner party just because they can cook. But if they have no social skills, what’s the point? You want a chef who can whip up a great meal and engage in a meaningful conversation without awkward silences. It’s the same with hiring. You want candidates who can hit the ground running, and also fit in.

So, let’s talk trust. When you work with EmployMe Solutions, you’re not just working with any recruiter. You’re working with a partner who’s committed to understanding not just the “what” of the job but the “who” of the person we’re recommending. From their professional background to the important details, like whether they’re a dog lover or a hamster enthusiast (we’ve got both), we take all of it into account. After all, the candidate that loves long walks on the beach with their pup might just be the one who will walk the extra mile to get the job done.

We believe that investing time in the right candidate is worth it. We don’t believe in rushing the process to just fill a role; we believe in finding you someone who will stick—and stick for the right reasons. So, trust your recruiter. Trust EmployMe Solutions. We’ve got your back.


P.S. If you’re wondering, yes, I do know the hamster’s name. It’s Nigel.
