Recruiting the right people is a very competitive and time-consuming process. It often takes much longer than most companies anticipate. In the current climate, we have had a surge in applicants for some of the roles we've been advertising. It can be as many as 450 applicants for one role in some cases! Does your team have the time to filter those CVs, screen the applicants to confirm their suitability and details, check work permits and availablity for interviews and respectfully decline those who don't have the relevant experience?
Some of the benefits of working with us include salary benchmarking, cutting down on recruitment costs and saving time going through applications. Other very relevant reasons for having a reputable, established recruitment partner include:
- Market Knowledge - When you work with us, you benefit from our wealth of industry and local market knowledge
- Candidates not applicants - When you post a job online you hope to get loads of great applications, but you need to sift through all those applications to find the best ones! We do this for you, we will speak to all candidates over the phone, and even interview them face to face before their CV reaches your inbox, saving you enormous amounts of time and effort.
- Advertise roles – We have far more reach amongst job seekers including our website, job boards and will pay the cost to advertise your roles on a bigger scale than you may have the budget for.
- Position you as an employer of choice – We’ll position your business to a wider group of candidates and give insight to them on your culture, benefits offered and development opportunities in your business.
- Cost saving - Using an agency can sometimes seem like an expensive option, but it can save you money not just from the job advertising, but by saving the cost of staff time in going through the application and vetting process.
We will really get to know your business and understand what a great match to your team really looks like.
We’ve also advised clients to consider bringing on a temporary employee until they find the right person for the job. You might even find that the professional you engage in the interim is really the full-time hire you’ve been searching for all along. Our temporary division has an 80% conversion rate for our Temporary placements becoming permanent, demonstrating we really can find the right candidate for the right role.
So don’t spend any more time worrying about the cost/time/process of recruiting the right person. We know first hand from our clients how valuable having an experienced recruitment agency can save you in the long run. Give us a call today so we can prove it to you 01442 600 100.
