Now you can choose to outsource or not – hourly rate recruitment services!
If you are looking to run your own recruitment process but still need some support, then there is a new way of working – hourly rate recruitment is now a reality! Much like accountants, solicitors and management consultants, we can help you to save money while still achieving the right result. The way in which we do this is by offering you support which you can buy on an ad hoc basis as follows:
If you wish to outsource the management of the whole recruitment process 
- Assist and coach you to write the job description and advertisement
- Choose the most relevant advertising options including internet job boards and specialist/trade, national and local media and negotiate the best deal we can with the chosen media on your behalf
- Help you to set up the necessary internal admin processes and auto reply mechanisms, etc to handle and filter CV responses
- Coach you and your staff to recognise what to look out for in CVs in order to shortlist candidates
- Give you interview training and coaching in order that you can carry out the interviews yourself
- Ongoing telephone and face to face support as required throughout the recruitment process
- Help with the management of the offer/acceptance process right up to start date
- Subsequent support with coaching and mentoring for the new incumbent*
Approximate time 3-5 days **
If you don’t wish to outsource your whole recruitment process
You may not need support on all aspects but you might require assistance with some of the following:
1.Writing an advert and posting it on the relevant job boards
With over 25 years of advert copy writing experience, we can craft an advert to strike the right tone and ultimately generate maximum numbers of quality responses.
Additionally, we have agreements with all the main boards so we can generate a healthy discount for you.
Approximate time 2-4 hours**
2. CV assessment
You could easily expect to generate between 100-250 applicants with an advertisement over a 4 week period.
Assess your total CV response against the job description and criterion set.
Derive a long list of 10-12 candidates for us to contact via telephone/skype.
Generate a shortlist of 5-6.
Approx. time 1-1.5 days**
2.Interview facilitation
Help you to interview the shortlisted candidates. Over a short period, we would help you to develop the process and confidence to be able to conduct the interviews alone. However, it may take some time to gain your own style/confidence/technique so we will sit in on the meetings in the early stages and support you through them.
Approx. time 1.5 – 3 days **
3.Offer and acceptance
The offer is key to the success of the whole process. It is therefore imperative that the right offer is made first time around. We can help you to craft the right message and produce a standard template offer letter.
Approx. time 2 hours **
4.Post offer management
If the candidate has a protracted notice period, care must be taken to ensure that matters including candidate expectations are well managed up to start date. We will help you to manage the post acceptance process to ensure a successful start is achieved.
Approx. time 2 hours **
*Coaching and mentoring sessions can be agreed separately (the same rates apply) – you choose how long to offer the service to the new incumbent. **In all instances, actual time spent will be dictated by total response levels but the approximate time guides are a good estimate based on our experience gained over 25 years.
Fees for hourly rate consultancy services are charged at £55 per hour or alternatively, £385 for a full day.
