Our Approach

At Paragon, we're proud to be known as the ‘people people’.

We believe that our mission to 'prioritise the journey as much as the destination' is the best way to achieve top results, enhanced with a great user experience.

We're a business that delivers by partnering closely with our employers and candidates, aiming to provide each individual with the time and care to fully understand their unique journeys and specific needs, reinforced with positive impact.

As a preferred recruiter for premier employers on the Isle of Man, we provide priority access to a wide range of permanent and temporary opportunities, together with essential guidance and knowledge share to enhance your job search.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I CONTACT PARAGON?

  • We'll arrange an informal chat for you with a recruiter in the first instance.  This can be in our offices, over the phone, via video call - whatever your preference is will be good for us!  This enables us to quickly review if and how we can help.
  • Your recruiter will then take responsibility for the relationship and will work with you to define how we can best support you, and provide you with our options and recommendations.
  • We'll complete a form which will ask you specific questions relating to your employment history, qualifications, skills and aims, together with a number of questions to help us to understand how we can best help you, and the type of opportunities open to you.
  • Once we understand how we can best help you, we'll agree a plan of action and manage your job search through Paragon with you until conclusion.

RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

Our people recognise the importance of personalised communication for both businesses and individuals, tailoring and customising our approach to suit your preferences. 

Whether you're recruiting or job seeking, our relationship management initiative commits to staying connected; discussing, adapting and agreeing on a communication style that best suits you and your specific requirements at any given time.

  • Personalised job alerts and priority access to real time media notifications
  • Monthly updates via your preferred method of contact
  • Quarterly newsletters providing market insight and overview
  • Defined service levels with open lines of communication and feedback at every level

ADVISING WITH HONESTY, INTELLIGENCE, AND RESPECT

Our commitment extends beyond successful placements.  For individuals we are unable to assist directly, we provide guidance, information and support with honesty and respect. 

For our clients, we provide available options with educated and confirmed interest based on our wider market expertise, with tried and tested candidate surfacing, sourcing and selection. We again offer honest and accurate communications with market intelligence of where and how to find the workforce needed.

INDEPENDENT JOB SEARCH SUPPORT

Our online Career Centre includes essential resources, advice and support for job seekers at every level, to aid and enhance your job search process.

JOB SEARCH CLINICS

In addition to 1-1 meetings, we run regular Job Clinics at our offices and around the Island; these sessions provide informal but structured guidance for individuals seeking work on the Isle of Man, designed to enable and encourage the preparation, motivation and appropriate actions required to source work directly.
