Active Listening

Our process starts with understanding your needs through active listening, ensuring meaningful and effective connections.

At McGlynn Personnel, active listening is at the centre of how we work. We take time to hear what you are saying, ask careful questions and reflect your priorities back to you before we suggest options.

By understanding your needs clearly at the start, we can match people and opportunities more accurately and reduce noise for both clients and candidates.

  • Conversations that focus on what you need, not a fixed script.
  • Clarifying questions that uncover the detail behind each role or career move.
  • Honest feedback based on what we have heard, not assumptions.

Our Active Listening Approach

Our approach to recruitment begins with listening carefully. We invite you to talk openly about your aims, concerns and expectations so we can shape a service that feels relevant and helpful. The result is a process that supports better decisions and more meaningful connections.

How We Work

  1. 1. Initial Conversation

    We begin with a calm, focused conversation that allows you to explain your situation in your own words.

  2. 2. Clarifying Questions

    We ask thoughtful questions to understand context, priorities and any concerns that may affect the process.

  3. 3. Shared Understanding

    We reflect back what we have heard to confirm that we have captured your aims clearly before we move forward.

  4. 4. Tailored Plan

    We shape a recruitment plan that fits your needs, from pace and communication style to the type of support you prefer.

  5. 5. Ongoing Dialogue

    We keep in regular contact, listening to your feedback and adjusting our approach where needed.

  6. 6. Review and Next Steps

    We review outcomes together, noting what worked well and how we can support you even better in future.
