Our Values
Original
At Ortus, we take pride in original thinking.
With courtesy, wit and an independent spirit, we challenge the conventional, the norms, the obvious.
So that from start to finish, you’ll find our service stimulating, satisfying and successful.
Ortus has no ambition to be the biggest company.
But we do wish to deliver the best experience. And achieve the best results – for you.
Rigorous
Rigour is central to both our internal and external processes alike. It ensures our professional recommendations, processes and communications are effective - our shortlists, as robust for our clients as they can be; and our candidate conversations leave no stone unturned.
It involves the structured, realistic and meticulous application of original thinking to everything that we do.
Quality processes, briefing, documentation, interviewing, assessment, feedback, referencing, agreed timescales, regular communication - attention to detail.
Tailor - made
Uniquely in the field of HR recruitment, we have the resources and expertise to offer customers a full service, 360 range of recruitment services. This includes dedicated expertise within advertised search & selection, executive search, retained projects, contingency permanent hires, temporary & contract requirements, as well as interim management.
Which means we have no need to follow pre-conceived paths or predictable processes.
We push, we probe, we listen, we learn...our aim is to understand.
So that we offer a precise and bespoke service, tailored to your individual circumstances, needs and aspirations.
Through this tailored precision, delivered within the congenial environment provided by the Five Ten Group's global network, Ortus marries the agility, creativity and responsiveness of a boutique recruitment consultancy, with the deep industry knowledge, extensive network and robust process you would expect from a multinational recruitment business.
The result for you, is a best-in-class and personalized solution.
