Practical Recruitment Help is at Hand
Recruitment is the key HR activity. Get it right and everything is possible. Fail to get the best staff and achieving your goals is always going to be hard work. How hard is emphasised by the research which says that above average staff perform at least 17%, and more than 40% better in complex roles, than average staff.
We all know the keys to successful recruitment:
- Job and person specifications
- Attracting applicants with the right skills and abilities
- Identifying and selecting the best candidates
- Closing the deal and organising induction so that you and your new recruit get off to a flying start
The challenge is doing all this and staying legally compliant, (recruitment is an easy place to fall foul of discrimination, illegal working, health and safety and employment legislation), as well as the day job. The fact is that good recruitment is not just a skill; it requires time, effort and specialist knowledge.
The good news is that practical help is at hand: recruitment services from HR Advantage that reduce your time and cost and improve the quality of your recruitment outcomes.
How?
Time savings: We do the job and person analysis, work out where to find the best candidates and what they will need to be paid, write the ads or brief the agencies, handle and screen the responses, select the best applicants and complete all the paperwork.
Reduced cost: Our skills and knowledge reduce your advertising costs or agency fees, our proven systems reduce administration time, and our support gives you time to do the things you are good at. The bottom line is that we expect our services to pay for themselves and more. Then add your improved recruitment outcomes (higher productivity and lower staff turnover) and what you do with your extra time and you win all ways round.
Improved quality: Our expertise at your disposal. Knowledge of the market, best places to advertise, access to economies of scale, speed, competency and example based interviewing, leading assessment tools and tests, effective monitoring and recruitment. We deliver consistently better outcomes.
Fees: Our fees are based on the volume and level of activity you ask us to undertake. Admin tasks are charged at admin rates. Skilled interviewing is charged as and when utilised. Campaign management costs are related to what we really have to do. We offer fixed assignment fees, capped assignment fees or pay as you go options. The important thing is that you stay in control. It is a refreshing change from percentages.
Does it work? We are providing practical recruitment support to a growing number of clients in a wide range of sectors. Pharmaceutical, telecoms, construction, consultancy, charity to name a few. From admin support roles to senior managers and directors. It is the sort of service we wanted when we were on the other side of the desk.
Want to know more? The easy way to find out how good we are is to give us try. Give Theresa a call on 01494 451681 for an informal discussion.
