We hire the attitude. Then we develop the skills.

Make sure your next appointment ticks all the right boxes.

Our Fixed Fee Recruitment service will manage your hiring process from start to finish and ensure that you only have to deal with the most serious applicants. We partner with several online software experts to get your advert on a wide range of suitable job boards at discounted prices.

Once the advert is live clients can choose to either manage the campaign themselves through the online portal using their unique ID, or they can leave it to us and simply log-in when they have the time to see how the campaign is going and agree which candidates from the short list they would like to interview.

If you choose to let us handle the screening, and you are already a client, your HR Business Partner will oversee your campaign. If you are not currently a client, no problem, we will appoint a HR Partner when you call to discuss your campaign.

Your HR Business Partner will work closely with you to find out your exact requirements and filter through all applications so you can have the peace of mind that your next recruit will tick all the right boxes.

Vacancy Posting: Targeted advertising across all major recruitment sites and jobs boards, with a choice of a branded or unbranded advert.

A further email is also generated automatically when a candidate is rejected for the role. This allows you to be polite and engaging during the campaign without having to think about it.
CV Filtering: The online tool is very user friendly and ensures that your main email address is not bombarded with traffic during the campaign. You simply log-in to the portal and screen the new applicants into one of three options ‘reject’, ‘potential’ or ‘interview’.

Fixed Fee Stage Two

Many clients often choose to let us take care of the screening in which case we review every applicant to ensure that you will only see the most suitable candidates, who we place in your ‘potential’ file. From here you simply screen the short list for interview.
Interview Scheduling: You provide the times and dates, and we contact, brief and schedule the candidates. We can also carry out initial screening interviews by telephone where required.
Offers & Regrets: We will make offers to successful candidates (and negotiate on your behalf if required), and inform unsuccessful candidates if they are not right for the role.
