Recruitment support

How we can support recruitment

We can take care of the whole process or the parts where you need most recruitment support – from developing job specifications, advising on advertising platforms to conducting interviews, onboarding the successful candidates and beyond.

We work with clients across a wide range of industries and will call upon our experience and knowledge in your field, using the most appropriate tools including agencies, job boards, advertising and networking to seek out the candidates who are the best fit.

We offer a wide spectrum of services that can be viewed as an extension of your own in-house team which is candidate focused and manages all applicants in a consistently professional manner.

Depending on your specific requirements, our specialists can sift applications, deal with enquiries from candidates and recruiters, develop interview questions and run assessment centres or psychometric testing to assess each candidate’s suitability not just for the job, but for the unique culture of your business. We support, advise and ensure you get the best out of your recruitment processes every step of the way.

Our approach

Talent/job fit We can assist you in the development of your person specifications and competencies, ensuring that you recruit candidates who are best equipped to meet the demands of the roles in question, both now and in the future.

Specialist knowledge We have a solid understanding of the markets in which you operate – both from a candidate and an employer’s perspective. Our colleagues regularly undertake research projects involving people from all occupations and industries, at all levels from trainees to senior managers. This gives us real insight into the views of potential candidates on issues such as the relative attractiveness of particular companies, jobs and recruitment processes.

Candidate care Comprehensive research evidence informs us that candidates’ reactions to the way they are treated during the recruitment process are crucial in shaping lasting opinions of your organisation. Irrespective of their success throughout, candidates will have formed distinct impressions that could deter them from joining, reapplying or supporting your brand and services in the future.

We can help you to create a unique and personable applicant journey that leaves lasting positive impressions. This can serve to enhance the perception of your brands in the marketplace and promote you as an ’employer of choice’. Whether your needs are for full-time technical/professional/managerial staff or casual, part-time or temporary employees, our skilled recruiters can effectively represent you in the manner that befits your brand and that your ideal candidates will find compelling.

Recruitment toolkit

Recruitment is an important process, and the way it is managed can affect your brand, image and ability to attract high calibre individuals.

Our recruitment and selection toolkit describes the recruitment process, from a manager identifying the need to recruit to a new person joining the Company. It provides guidance to managers on best practice and recruiting within the law. It also provides standard documents for use during recruitment activities.

Recruitment review

A recruitment review will help you to fully understand how effective your current recruitment process is.

It will look at the following areas:

• Job description –  is this clear, concise, realistic and honest?
• Attraction – how effective are your marketing efforts?
• Selection criteria – are they objective, clear and not discriminatory?
• Process/timelines – how thorough is your recruitment process?
• Onboarding – are you engaging and communicating with your new hire?
