Recruitment

Making the wrong decisions when recruiting staff can be costly for any business. We have recruitment experts that can give you a range of advice an support throughout the full process.

Job Specification

As a starting point it is essential that you have considered the role you are recruiting. What are the core duties? What skills and experience do you consider essential? What attributes would an ideal candidate have? The list can be endless.

We help you get the foundations right for your whole recruitment campaign by getting the role and person specification right which in turn will help your advertising, selection, interview and ultimately your choice of new employee.

Advertising

Where to advertise can be a minefield. There are many options such as traditional press, online job boards, trade publications and even use of social media - which is right for you?

We work with a range of brokers within both online and offline advertising to get you the best deals and best response rates. The deals we can secure on advertising are much cheaper than going direct to job boards / media and we make absolutely no mark up or profit on these prices.

Recruitment Agencies

We can advise on the appropriate use of recruitment agencies and negotiate fees on your behalf. We work with a range of agencies that we are certain provide an ecellent standard of service and competative rates. If this is an appropriate method of finding suitable applicants we can manage this process on your behalf.

Search & Selection

Once your advert is working successfully you may be inundated with applications. Shortlisting your applications can be time consuming, however with our assistance you can be presented with a selection for interview that has been pre screened and completed a telephone interview.

Interviewing

Many businesses fail to have any form of comparison through the interview process and many decision are made on instinct rather than substance. There are many applicants that are skilled at interviewing and so taking responses at face value does not really test their ability.

We work on the basis that our interviews are competency based, using the job and person specification we have set out and therefore the questions we format are more taing and demand working examples of skills and experience.

If a 2nd interview is recommended then we can help choose the right format, whether this be presentation or further questions, to help you identify the perfect applicant for you.

Testing

If you feel that you need more proof of specific skills then we can arrange skills testing on a range of applications such as use on MS Office applications, languages, numeracy, spelling, typing speeds etc...

Psychometric testing can also be useful for more senior roles to get an understanding of the personality, preferences and management style of your candidate.

Testing can be a comple area and it is essential that you have the experience and ability to interpret the result in context.

Job Offers

When you have finally made your selection you can benefit from our HR Admininstration services in issuing offer letters, contracts and following up on references on your behalf.

Many employers make offers conditional to references and then fail to obtain the references within a reasonable timeframe.

We can also monitor your employee records to ensure personnel details are maintained, qualification certificates obtained, driving licences etc.. are recorded, probationary periods monitored plus much more.

Helping you make the right choice every time.
