Mark Sheldon Managing Director

We take compliance very seriously. Our recruitment

process encompasses all the regulatory requirements

necessary to comply with legislation, mitigating the risk

of legal exposure for our clients, providing assurance

and peace of mind.

At Savant we’ve developed effective recruitment

methods to make sure that we only put forward people

who we believe are the right fit for the role - those

capable of integrating smoothly into your team and

thus improving the long term retention of staff.
