OUR APPROACH SAFEGUARDS AGAINST THE COSTS HIRING INEFFICIENCIES! HERE’S HOW WE BOOST YOUR HIRING PROFITABILITY OVER THE LONG-TERM

1. UNDERSTANDING YOUR UNIQUE COMPANY CULTURE

Many recruiters are only looking for a few matching skills to fill positions as quickly as possible. This approach completely neglects the importance of cultural fit for new employees! We place this assessment of ‘cultural fit’ at the very forefront of our hiring efforts. In fact, we make it our mission to truly understand our clients’ working culture by always meeting them in person and on-site to assess the intricacies of their business. Only then can we attract candidates that not only have the right qualifications, but also have the ideal personality and aspirations for your business. We aim to be an extension of your organisation, where we’re proud to become your brand ambassador.

2. AFTER-CARE SUPPORT & EMPLOYEE ON-BOARDING

Unlike so many other recruiters, we’re renowned for our thorough after-care process. We understand that the hardest stage of a new employee’s journey with your business is often the first few months. We see it is as absolutely vital to touch base with new employees at regular intervals to ensure they are feeling supported and to identify any obstacles as they integrate further into the organisation. Not only do we check-in with each newly appointed employee, but we’ll also have discussions at key intervals with our clients to ensure the overall on-boarding process runs as smoothly as possible.

3. WE ONLY RECOMMEND CANDIDATES WE’VE MET

Being bombarded with CVs from a generic recruitment agency is never a good approach! Our approach, however, stands in direct contrast. Rather than overloading our clients with barely relevant CVs, we first insist on meeting all of our candidates in person. We find this to be essential for boosting the efficiency of the hiring process. By meeting our candidates in person, we can assess the likely suitability of their cultural fit as well as checking the validity of their qualifications and states background experience.

4. STEERING YOUR HIRING STRATEGY TO MAXIMISE ROI

We have the expertise not only to fill vacancies, but also to advise on the best approach to your hiring strategy - minimising rehiring costs and boosting long-term profitability. We look at a range of key areas of hiring strategies including the necessity of identifying and assessing your unique corporate culture, assessing the candidate experience and interview techniques amongst many other key considerations. With such a holistic broad view, we can dramatically reduce the chance of a bad hire for your team.

5. LEAVING NO STONE UNTURNED IN OUR SEARCH

Secondly, by discovering newly available candidates through the latest candidate search technology. This combined approach means we leave no stone unturned in our talent search, boosting the chances of securing that ideally matched candidate for your business. In such a highly competitive hiring market, the use of the latest each technology has never been more important. It’s something we continue to constantly invest in to ensure we stay ahead of the curve.
