CASE STUDY

Recruitment & Selection

As a Company you will have an idea of how you want your people to be, how you want them to behave. You may already have an employee who is an ambassador of how you want others to behave. How do you replicate those attributes? Adding to your team can upset the equilibrium and be disruptive if the behaviours you require and the required skill set are not given due consideration. This all takes time – away from the operational running of the business.
  • The development of job descriptions;
  • Where to source the right candidates;
  • The process for hiring, interviewing, what to ask and more importantly what not to;
  • Managing specialist agents to find the ideal person for you, saving you the time and effort of finding the right agent, agreeing terms, and sifting through a mountain of CVs;
  • Recruiting staff directly, using psychometric testing if appropriate to identify the traits you need within your business;
  • Assisting with the onboarding process, checking references, and designing induction processes for you;
  • We are an extension of your business – your remote Resourcing/HR department.

Case Study

Hiring the right people is time consuming and is even harder when the skills you require are in short supply.

1) The Company

Hairdressing salon.

2) The Problem

Nationwide shortage of hairdressing apprentices.

3) Our Approach

To devise a way of attracting candidates via a more imaginative strategy than just advertising the role.

4) Actions

  • Document the role by developing comprehensive job descriptions;
  • Targeted locations where these people may be, such as schools, colleges, and spoke to the teaching staff;
  • Amended the recruitment process – we asked them to call rather than submit their CV;
  • Advised our client to change the working pattern and benefits so that the role would appeal to their target audience and attract candidates – more Saturdays off, better rates of pay, and earning commission.

5) The Results

Full headcount with all vacancies filled.
